Or maybe there's another network adapter already configured with the address the tool wants to set the wired adapter to. Or perhaps something has set a secondary address on the network adapter, and that's keeping it from working with the configuration tool. It might help to go through and set every network adapter to DHCP, make sure there are no additional IP addresses set, then disable all of them except the one being used to connect to the router.

I agree that I thought the IP change was referring to the PC. Although the variations in the possible system configurations for this year's control system proved a bit daunting when we tried to get it all set up we did finally manage to get it working... consistently so far. The advice above to set all adapters to DHCP and then disable the ones not being used seems to be good advice in general for all stages of usage this year. I definitely would try that.
