        I have neither of those although I think Network Device Control
        is what I used in the past?

        Man ifconfig says:  NOTE    This program is obsolete!  For
        replacement check ip addr and ip link.  For statistics use ip -s
        link.

        I did that:  ip addr 192.168.2.0/24 dev em1

        I also tried:

        route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 em1

        Which leaves me wondering how to verify the change has been added and then how do I access the unknown device. it is supposed to default to an address in the 192.168.2 subnet which I can access from Firefox however I haven't been able to find it with a few trial and error attempts. There must be a logical approach to this?

        This is a minimum quality IP Camera [Zonet zvc7611w] that I use to watch the front driveway. I pressed the reset button and then can find the cdrom with the support information and have found nothing on-line and got no response from Zonet. Not surprisingly it is a discontinued product. It would overheat and fail until I added vent holes and a tiny fan to both of them, I have two.
