<p>Should any 'Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard' windows popup after the \r

+ seconds) or 'Cancel' the errant popup window. \r
+ For Windows Server 2003 (SP1) you can safely ignore the errant FNHW popup \r
+ window; for Windows XP (SP2) the errant FNHW popups need to be 'cancelled' \r
+ in order for the WinOF install to proceed. The report back from Microsoft on these 'Found New Hardware Wizard' windows \r
+ popping up is they are due to the fact the WinOF drivers are not Digitally \r
+ signed (non-WHQL'ed) and hence are not trusted by Windows. Even though the \r
+ Ignore warning on installation of non-signed drivers is enabled (My \r
+ Computer->Properties->Hardware->Driver Signing->Ignore) the FNHW is still \r
+ invoked. MS claims this is a 'feature'.</p>\r
+ <p>An artifact of cancelling an errant 'Found New Hardware' popup window may \r
induce an errant taskbar Information notifier/bubble indicating there may \r
have been problems installing your hardware drivers;<br>\r

<h3>Setting the IPoIB Interface IP Address</h3>\r
<p>The Windows command 'netsh' will assist in assigning an IP address to an \r
IPoIB interface.<br>\r
By default, an IPoIB interface is configured to use DHCP. The following \r
