Going to re-ask my question here, as I am unsuccessful in the US thread:

Ben's suggestion is the best way to solve the problem.

after a massive roundabout circle of VMware permissions, i still cant modify th efiles in the linux partition of the SD card. without a linux computer/poweruser, how the hell am i supposed to fix the default ip address of 10.10.1.249?

with vmware it seems to deny my ownership of the filesystem and any changes i try to save are denied by a gedit error

Maybe you missed my suggestion, so here it is again:
You could also burn an Ubuntu live CD or create a live USB stick. Boot Ubuntu, mount the sd card, edit the file, ...

edit: got a program to read file sin the linux partition, and i see:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.11.249
netmask 255.0.0.0
gateway 10.1.1.1

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

however, i cannot edit it, only save it to windows with this program Angry

edit2: guess ive gotta go the long way around, get ubuntu on vmware and try fixing it that way...
