1. That is correct, once in developer mode, you cannot connect via dftp which means all the usual methods of connecting will not work.
2. Yes once in Developer mode, it will install a USB Lan driver so you can FTP to the device. You will then load up the Network Connections page "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections", right click on the LeapPad Lan adapter, go to properties, then IPv4 and click on properties. You will then click the radio box to use the following IP and set an IP of 192.168.0.23 or something. Submet mask should auto fill in and don't think you need a gateway. Hit ok and save it. You should then be able to FTP to 192.168.0.111 with the user set as root. Sometimes it takes a few tries while windows is configuring the settings, but shouldn't take longer then a minute or so.
3. Your local setup most likely is on a different IP range if you have a network. Mine is and whenever I set the IP of the Lan adapter, I usually start losing my internet until I remove the LeapPad. This is why I shell into the device and assign a different IP on the LeapPad and set my IP on the Lan adapter to be the same as my home network. Either way should not matter though, you should still be able to connect.
4. You have an updated version of my app... It should have an option for developer mode. You can simply connect to the software, choose that option and it will set the flag for you. You can then restart the device and it should be in developer mode.
