Speaking of DHCP: my empeg use hardcoded IP address (relevant part of config.ini:
[Network]

Gateway=0.0.0.0
Netmask=255.255.255.0
IPAddress=192.168.0.29
DHCP=0
)

It seems to do something DHCP-related on boot, anyway, followed by the obligatory single seek error:
No secondary hard disk

Apart from a brief stutter a second or two into the song, I didn't notice any ill effects of this. Do those DHCP-containing messages just mean DHCP being disabled (I don't remember them from 1.03)? Will stutter be FITNR?
