Your spot on, probably have way too much going on on the Laptop. I have the same firmware for the EC, but looks like the EC is not being developed anymore, nor marketed really.

The wireless side of my network is all DHCP assigned by the Orinoco GW, hence 10.0.x.x. As I said its been a while since I setup the EC, hence don't remember what I did about giving it an address. I am guessing that I left it all DHCP client.

Suggest you wait for emeg to arrive, get it hooked up with Emplode and set networking to be DHCP, and just plug it into the EC and see what happens.

Should if you get stuck and I can then look at the config for mine.
