Disklavier

Kevin,

It did not work for us.  We were able to get the DLRC to work by  
setting the IP to 192.168.11.15, so I guess we need a way to configure  
the IP.  (We could not get anything but the page 1 functionality of  
DLRC to work -- there were java errors on the other pages.

The error we get from your program is "Unable to establish wireless  
connection to piano>"

Thanks for your efforts.
