Might be a silly question, but what IP address for the ME102 does the laptop see? The address on the port connected to the DS108?

Unfortunately it probably does count as a silly question

The ME102 is essentially acting as a bridge, so it only has one IP address anyway. The ME102 doesn't do any routing as such (i.e. it doesn't route packets at the IP level, just bridges Ethernet traffic).
