Remarks
Note  Note

  • IPv4 address prediction is not possible for cards which are installed Externally/DHCP.

  • For Internal and Peer-to-Peer installed cards, IPv4 address prediction may fail in rare cases where the card has adjusted its address to avoid conflict with the host PC's address.

  • IPv6 address prediction suffers from neither of these disadvantages.
