They all have identical IP address by default. I connect a device directly to a PC, upload a configuration file to the device through it's built-in web interface, and disconnect the device. My problem is that when I connect another device to the PC, I can't ping it or access it through a web browser. I need to change its IP address using a utility that allows me to do this. Then I can access it with a web browser and upload the config file. What I have found is that if I use a rotating range of IP address, say .121 through .128, I can go back and re-use the same addresses. I just can't use the same address too soon or it won't work. Emptying the cache doesn't solve this. In fact, If I use the same address with a second device, I can't connect with another browser. In fact, I can't even ping it. Just waiting for some unknown amount of time fixes the issue, but then I have to wait again if I connect another device. My question is, how can I get this to work so I can simply connect a device, upload the config file, disconnect the device, and connect the next device, without having to change its IP address?
