i notices that I dont have an "unsupported plugins" fold inside my "Drop installers here" folder on my muse HD. Is this correct. Its version 5 but i have no idea whats going on. I just keep reading that I am supposed to drop the plug ins into the unsupported folder and i dont have one.

Hi Dr. Oates,
You are looking in the wrong place. The unsupported folder is under the path:
C:\Program Files\VST Plugins\Unsupported Plugins
This is where you would copy plugins from a PC, when Muse doesn't provide installers for those plugins.
Look at the User Manual, under the sections about installing unsupported plugins - that is a pretty informative section. Also, don't hesitate to ask more questions on this forum - lots of helpful people here.

Cool. Worked Great! Man.... so much adrenaline ... so little patience 
Just got mine yesterday, and its all starting to sink in today. I finally got it running right last night, though I have trouble getting windows to see it properly. The last 3 digits of my Recepters IP is 253 where is you look on my pc, under the network connections its says the .254. It works, connects, loads up the HD but for the life of me I dont understand why this is. I flushed the DNS as suggested, renewed it as well, but still the same problem. Any ideas? It works just fine, but that just seems weird.

Hi Dr. Oates,
Welcome to the Muse club. This is one Rad box!
While Receptor does do DNS (and I can't really explain the behvior you are seeing), I find it useful to manually set and use my own IP address. This will slightly reduce startup times, and you can always connect to the same address if you are using Samba, ssh, or other types of connection protocols from a PC/Mac. Of course, you would also need to reserve this address on your Router too.

OK, that help answer a question I had. I watched the video of the receptor loading up in like 4 seconds, and could not figure out why mine was taking close to a minute. This is probably the problem. As for setting this manually, one of the video said it would be covered in the next video but i didnt find it. I guess ill sort through the manual. As much as I like not having extra books to keep track of, somtimes i hate scrolling through a pdf file. But the box IS RAD!! I set up a patch last nigh using only 2 chanells to make a killer rhodes / clav patch. Man, you can add anything... its like a complete dream come true. I cant believe what is possible, my mind is spinning, and i cant wait to turn it on again. I was totally frustrated and disappointed with the thing when i got it, but once i figured out how to load a few of the unsupported plugs I wanted to use, a whole new world opened up. I haven't even gotten into programming tracks in the studio with it, I can believe how killer this machine is. What isn't possible? Might start calling it my God Box.

I took a look at the manual but i failed to see section on how to manually set the ip and set it up to work with windows xp. I am connecting this directly to my PC using a crossover Ethernet cable, I assume its still possible to set this manually? Any idea where to go for instructions?

Hi Again Dr. O (by the way, what is the 'Dr.' in?),
Manually setting the IP address should be in the manual somewhere .... but it is very simple to do.
This configuration is located on the 'System' Tab of the Receptor interface. You'll see IP section in the lower right, where DHCP is probably the selected radio button. If you select the 'Manual' radio, then you can type in your preferred IP address. You may have to reboot Receptor for this to take affect.
Then reserve that same address on your router's configuration page, and you are good-to-go.

Oops, just noticed that you said you were doing this 'sans' router.
I think you should just be able to access that IP address via XP (I usually launch an explorer, click on the 'My Network' view, and Receptor should show up there under the workgroup name 'MUSE'.
