Not able to change network settings

I am trying to set my ND+2 to have a static IP.  I have erased all programs so the board is back to its original config.  

I went to MFDeploy and selected USB, the ND+2 shows up and I hit ping.  It says "Pinging...tinyCLR" and that is it.  I know the device has an IP address because I can see it on my network an I'm also able to ping it and if I unplug it then I'm no longer able to ping it.  Just a note, I'm using DOS command prompt to ping the address.

My problem is that I want to change the network config so that the device is static but when I go to "network" settings and change the fields then hit "update" it says, "Unable to erase configuration sector memory".

I've rebooted my machine and have plugged and unplugged my usb plug and reset my switch.

The "Network Configuration" just seems to not be operating correctly.  I have tried this on two boards and get the same results.

I also followed the directions on pressing the onboard button but this just makes the onboard LED stay lit and locks the device up. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

I know it is not the exact answer you are looking for but if I need to use a fixed IP I get my netduino to run this line at the when it boots up.

Microsoft.SPOT.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()[0].EnableStaticIP("192.168.1.122", "255.255.255.0", "192.168.1.62");

by using this I don't need to configure each device before using I just change the IP I want to change.
