Is it possible to use NI-VISA 2.5 with Tektronix AD007 ENET-GPIB convertor

I have this same adapter and I have been asked to use it.  I have followed the instructions previously given with some success.  I am using LV 8.20 and Meas. & Auto Explorer 4.1.0.  I can create the TCP/IP resource and perform a validation which reports a successful connection.  The problem I am having is creating a unique resource for each instrument.  The test instrument in use is a Prodigit load bank and each load bank which has a unique address has four individual units that must have a unique identity in order to talk with each particular load module.  I have written a program where I used a gpib card which resides in the PC and each module has its own address, such as: GPIB0::1::INSTR-0 through 3, GPIB0::2::INSTR-0 & GPIB0::3::INSTR-0.  This piece of software has worked.  Now, I have to use the ethernet to gpib adapter and the problem I am running into is how to talk with the other instruments on GPIB0::1::INSTR-*.  Any suggestions?
