MAX Can't Detect PXI-8184

I was trying to do the first time setup for the PXI-8184 controller.  In MAX I pressed F5 to refresh but the PXI controller just didn't want to show up under Remote Systems.  The host computer is running WinXp and the IP of the host is set to 1.0.0.1 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.  The setting of the PXI controller is still at default.  I did this couple times successfully but having problems this time.  Please help.  Thanks.

The host and the remote system are directly connected with a crossover cable.

Are any of the LabVIEW Real-Time switches set on the controller?  These switches are described in the PXI-8184/5 User Manual on page 2-14.  You can find this manual on the National Instruments website here

Additionally, you may need to disable DHCP on the host computer; the following link will direct you to a KnowledgeBase entry describing how to do this:
