network config is in C:\MPTN\BIN\setup.cmd

you will need to comment out the line 

dhcpstrt -i lan0

and uncomment/change the lan0 line:

ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
                    ^--- your static ip

this will get you on the local network

and for your router, add at the bottom of the file:

route add default 192.168.1.1 -hopcount 1
                    ^--- your router

reboot to test it works every time
