2 Look in the 'Status' column in for 'connected' interfaces.
3 Right-click on the interface(s) you don't want to be searched and
select 'Disable'.
4 Run Agilent’s Connection Expert again and look for the LAN
devices. Add and configure the instruments you want in your test
system.
5 Return to the 'Network Connections' dialog from the Windows
Control Panel.
6 Right-click on the interface(s) you disabled in Step 3 above and click
'Enable'.
Note that while this process allows you to locate AutoIP-addressed
instruments, you still may not be able to communicate with them. This
is because WIndows will still try to send communications through the
default NIC card. In order to communicate with these instruments, you
should turn off AutoIP on all instruments and let the DHCP server (or
router) assign IP addresses. Also, ensure that the network address for
each NIC card is different; refer to “Verify PC and Instrument IP
Address Configuration” on page 123.
