Trouble connecting 1100 LC to PC (with already 7800 ICP-MS installed)

Hello,

I have been trying to connect an 1100 LC to a PC with already a 7800 ICP-MS installed. However, when I plug the LC to the PC with the default IP 192.168.254.1 on my LAN card, but the BootP server does not register anything. I can ping the default IP (192.168.254.1, so the LAN card works), but I cannot ping 192.168.254.11 to establish a LAN connection. I have also tried to manually add the information on BootP manager, but it does not work. Also somehow, the ICP-MS is connected with hardware address 000000000000. I have also tried with the IP from the manual of 1100 (which I found from the internet) that suggested using IP 10.10.10.1 and then trying to connect with IP 10.10.10.2.

I have tried everything from this article (https://community.agilent.com/knowledge/lc-portal/kmp/lc-articles/kp386.how-to-check-configure-and-use-the-ip-address-of-an-agilent-hplc-module), but as the JetDirect card is not G1369C, there are no configuration switches on the card, and changing the switches on the FLD (in which the JetDirect card is connected) does nothing. I also found similar information regarding the BootP read me, but I seem to be running into the same issue there. 

I have added my modules below:

Degas G1322A
Binary pump G1312A
Thermo G1330A
autosampler G1329A
columnoven G1316A
FLD G1321A
JetDirect J4100A


Is there something else I should be doing? Does the different LAN interface work with 1100 (meaning different than G1369C) or is there a different IP for this case I should be using?

I appreciate any help.
