ethernetblaster problem

I am trying to set up my ethernetblaster and having some problems.

When I tried the autodetect feature, it worked ok. However, I typed no

password and the connection status was "authentication failure". This

was expected.

What was not expected is that I cannot change the password. I also

cannot "remove server" because this button appears shaded!

Next, I set up the ethernetblaster server on another IP address, and

tried to connect providing the correct password. In the "currently

selected hardware", and indication of the server appears but when I

close the "Hardware setup" window, the programmer still keeps saying "No

hardware" in the top line.

I suspect that if I could remove the "bad" server (actually, now I have

even 2 of them, with a fake one showing "connecting..." all the time) I

could try again but this seems impossible.

Any hints?

    go to the command line

    type jtagconfig

    it will list all available config hardware

    to delete a config hw setup, type

    jtagconfig --delete 1

    where 1 is the number from the list provided in the initial jtagconfig command

    Thanks. It worked!

    Btw, the correct command is

    jtagconfig --remove

    (at least for my version of jtagconfig)

    on a side note, i never add the ethernetblaster using quartus.

    do

    jtagconfig --addserver my_ethernet_blaster_ip_or_hostname password

    --dalon
