 The device did not respond to `nmrpflash`'s TFTP upload request. By default,
-`nmrpflash` will assign `10.11.12.252` to the target device, while adding `10.11.12.253`
+`nmrpflash` will assign `10.164.183.252` to the target device, while adding `10.164.183.253`
 to the network interface specified by the `-i` flag. You can use `-a` to change the IP
 address assigned to the target (e.g. if your network is `192.168.1.0/24`, specify a *free*
 IP address, such as `-a 192.168.1.252`), and `-A` to change the IP address used for the
 network interface.
 
-On Linux, `nmrpflash` uses interface alias `:42` by default, so if you specify `-i eth0`,
-it will actually use `eth0:42`. To override this, manually specify an alias (e.g.
-`-i eth0:43`).

 This error message could also indicate a bug in the TFTP code; try using an external tftp
 client (busybox in this example), by specifying the `-c` flag instead of the `-f` flag:
 
-`# nmrpflash -i eth0 -c "busybox tftp -p -l EX2700-V1.0.1.8.img \$IP"`
+`# nmrpflash -i eth0 -c 'busybox tftp -p -l EX2700-V1.0.1.8.img $IP'`
+
+The environment variable `IP` is set by `nmrpflash` (other environment variables
+are: `MAC`, `PORT`, `NETMASK`).
