Cannot update firmware or IP address or DHCP

I'm using ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility  2.7.2 on Win7 to update my GS108Ev2 switch running 1.00.04 to 1.00.12.  The switch shows IP Address 192.168.0.239 and Located on IP Network is 10.1.10.198.

 

When I try to update the firmware it responds: The switch and manager IP address are not in the same subnet.

When I try to update the IP address it responds: Boot code requests a Firmware download

When I try to disable DHCP it responds: Command is not supported by agent

 

Seems like an endless loop of disfunctionality. 

  • Temporary configure your computer into the 192.168.0.0/24 network, any address different from the default switch .239 or the .255 (broadcast) and retry.

      I did not think of that.  Worked great! Thanks for the tip.
