As well, unless I am reading the post wrong, it sounds like you are configuring the empeg with a specific IP address to connect to your works' network running on a DHCP server
That is one method. The first method was to not assign the EMPEG an IP and just let it use DHCP to get one. That did not work, which is why I tried the specific IP. The IP was not taken as I tested it before and after and it was on a Saturday morning and no one was here.

When I try the EMPEG at the university, I will post a follow-up.
