I "thought" i had it setup this way

	address 192.168.1.20
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 192.168.1.0
	broadcast 192.168.1.255
	gateway 192.168.1.101  (my MBP)

My home lan is using 192.168.1.*** range.

No idea on how to sniff packets, at this time.

When I click on the "installer" it pops up a message;

ERROR:
Cannot access *****. Please check your network

When I plug the OM into the computer, it does show the MAC address, in  
dmesg;

net_lucid_cake_driver_AJZaurusUSB: Ethernet address 40:00:ff:f7:87:5c
