Hooking a Camera Device into a LAN via an Ethernet Connection?

I have a device, essentially like a camera, that needs a ethernet port and
address, 10:0:0:0. I've created a port on W2000, and can successfully use it
there. I did it years ago by assigning the device to a LAN. How do I do this
in XP Pro?

BTW, I tried something akin to Network Connections on the Control Panel, but
it seems determined to somehow set up a printer for me. The OS for the
laptop is XP Media, which is a bit different than my desktop PC, where I
have Pro installed.

A few more observations. On the desktop, the LAN icon (Network Connections)
shows the LAN I have assigned to the device. It shows, correctly:
Clients for MS
File and Printer Sharing
Internet Protocols

On the later I have:
IP address: 10 0 0 0
subnet mask: 255 0 0 0
The device is a VIA Rhine Ethernet Mask

I got close to this on the laptop. Additionally, it shows Qos Packets, which
I now have unchecked. If I use the same IP/mask above, I get Invalid
combination.

Note two that the laptop has two ethernet connectors. Only one shows up in
Network Connections: Marvel. Why no second one? Maybe it's that way since I
have only one connector in use.

In my experience, Marvel may indicate a wireless adapter.
 
Hi
There should not be a different between setting it on Win2000 or WinXP.
The major difference might be the need to set WinXP firewall to accommodate
the device though the Network.

Interesting. How might I find out?

Ultimately this boiled down a "mistake". I needed to use 10 0 0 1. I kept
getting a message about some conflict, and when I looked at the w200k set
up, realized I had copied the ip incorrectly.
