Does PP automatically try 192.168.1.121 and 10.10.10.10 or does mesaflash change the address or... ?

I messed around with different IP addresses but in the end stuck with 10.10.10.10 (Don't remember all the details now).

If there are dual NICs how does PP know which to use?

In Linux ports get assigned eth0, eth1, etc. PP assumes the 7i92 is attached to eth0. If you have more than 1 LAN port you need to know which one is assigned eth0.

Can I share a single NIC between the 7i92 and other connections (the other connection is for file transfer and will not be active when milling)?

I tried this & was not successful. For reasons I don't understand the 7i92 just did not like having a network switch between it & the PC. Since the MB I wanted to use came with dual NIC's this wasn't a problem. So 1 port is dedicated to the 7i92 & the other port is connected to my network. You could use a wireless connection for networking & internet then you only need 1 NIC, but I prefer a wired connection.
