Good point. I neglected to mention that there is an ethernet hub in
between. (I guess I just assumed that a hub was too "dumb" to make a

I actually did this some time ago and the details are a bit fuzzy, but
as I recall, I dowloaded the software update from within Olympus MASTER
(i.e., by choosing the "update software" menu item), then ran it to
accomplish the update.
