If you have jumpered for "FIXED 192.168.1.121" replace 10.10.10.100 with 192.168.1.100.
If your home wifi network is on the 192.168.1 network, use the 10.10.10 network for your Mesa card, refer to you card's manual for jumpers to change.

IP ADDRESS SELECTION
The 7I92 has three options for selecting its IP address. These options are selected
by Jumpers W5 and W6.
W5 W6 IP ADDRESS
DOWN DOWN FIXED 192.168.1.121 (DEFAULT)
DOWN UP FIXED FROM EEPROM
UP DOWN BOOTP
UP UP INVALID
Note: that the initial EEPROM IP address is set to 10.10.10.10 at Mesa, but can be
changed to any address with the mesaflash utility.
A final note, there is no network notification applet for the desktop, so you will not get any notifications when the network connects, disconnects or reconnects.
