To get Ethernet Blaster like functionality you can connect a different programming cable (like a USB-Blaster) to a PC, setup the Quartus II programmer on that PC to act as a JTAG server, and then from another PC connect to that remote JTAG server over Ethernet. There is documentation on how to do this and it should be functionality equivalent to an Ethernet Blaster.
