Network connection when update bmw e87 maps using enet cable.

It’s a typical question and answer to setup IP address and network connection when update bmw e87 maps using enet cable.
Model: BMW E87
Purpose: to update 2010s maps
Devices i have: obd connector; enet cable bmw;
Puzzles:
have tried several different IPs, the closest i could get to accessing the cars computer was an error message, that password or username was incorrect.
In windows, under network and adapter settings it says that i don't have network connectivity. How to the LAN network, in some specific way? The problem seems the network settings, since even itoolradar doesn't show any IPs.
Ps. i have tried to access the fsc through browser, filezilla and the SWID software, additionally tried it under linux, but no luck.
 
Suggestions from an experienced user in a bmw forum:
As you know you can't acquire 1b file through DCAN cable, so forget about EDIBAS, the only option beside ICOM A2 is ENET cable i.e. ethernet adapter.
There are 3 different IP addresses assigned to clients by CIC (that I know):
169.254.199.98 (mask 255.255.255.0, gateway and ftp server address 169.254.199.99)
10.250.89.3 (mask 255.0.0.0, gateway and ftp server address 10.250.89.2)
160.48.199.98 (mask 255.255.255.128, gateway and ftp server address 160.48.199.99)
If none of those IP addresses work, then you need to set your PC to DHCP mode using TFTPD64. Then CIC will get IP address from your PC's DHCP.
You can check which address CIC got using Tool32 (when you are connected to it with DCAN, and ENET cable is on USB), load CICR.PRG and start the Job "status_get_ipconfig".
For example set your PC to a static IP address (e.g. 192.168.10.10/255.255.255.0) Launch TFTPD64 and bind it to your wired adapter. Under the options tab, set the start address to 192.168.10.20 with at least 2 for the pool size. Reboot your CIC by pressing the VOLUME button for about 30 seconds. The CIC will now be accessible at the address you specified, 192.168.10.20 in this case.
Hope this helps, if it doesn't then your CIC is most probably not wired to OBD and then your only chance is USB-Enet adapter with ASIX chipset.
