The only interface that is configured in TCP/IP configuration is Lan 0 
(didn't make sense to set Lan 7 to static IP as I wanted DHCP and it 
wouldn't allow DHCP as only one can be configured in there).  I tried to 
close xcenter and restart it but it didn't seem to do anything.  I 
finally tried opening properties and just closing them but it didn't 
have and affect either.  It wasn't till I switched to Lan 1 and closed 
out the properties dialog and switched back to Lan 0 and closed the 
properties dialog that it configured.  I haven't applied the fix that 
was released yet, I will try that and see if that makes a difference.
This is a definate improvement over having to change the nic card in 
MPTS and reboot each time I switched between them.
