RHFB on corporate network

I have looked but can't seem to find anything like this on the forums.

Is there a way to put a Hog (any Hog, but I happen to have a RHFB) on a corporate network without it broadcasting DHCP and basically shutting down an entire network? I don't have it on one right now but it would make certain things easier for me if I could. I have tried turning off the DHCP and Boot server button but it still manages to broadcast. I have given the Hog a static IP when on that network so that my laptop can see it easier. I would like to set it up on the network in order remote the desk from my office and not have to run to the booth every time someone needs me to run a demo.

Just wondering. Any ideas are helpful.

Thanks,
Eric

    Eric,

    Eric Johnson is the most knowledgeable person on this stuff, but I'll add this...

    If you do not have a very high competence (read: expertise) with computer networking, I would recommend against this.

    The Hog can put a lot of data on to the network and make your network admins unhappy.

    But with that being said, you've got the right idea. Turn off the DHCP server (you don't have to turn off the boot server). Give the console a static IP address or let it get one from the router on the network ('Obtain an IP address using DHCP' in the network settings window).

    From your desktop you should then be able to join a network show from Hog3PC.
