I'm not familiar with the Ni200's operation. But if it configures itself as a
pseudo network adapter, then the most likely conflict that jumps to mind is a
conflict for which route (/default route) to take. The LAN, or the Internet.

It shouldn't be noticable on a LAN if it's only a small lan using a
255.255.255.0 subnet mask, but if it's a reasonably large lan that uses a wider
subnet mask, or several blocks of IP's then it's a possibility.

Well, that, and yeah, there was something a while back about IP's having .255
in the IP itself. Windows machines having issues with it. If you got a static
IP like that it'd be another possible problem.
