Factory setting-
When the ARMweb turns on it looks for a DHCP server, and if it finds
one it will request an IP.
If none is found within 10 seconds it will give up and become a
mini-DHCP server so that it can be configured by a PC plugged directly
in with a cross over cable.
--------
If a DHCP server is ever found it will not go into the mini-DHCP
server mode until the factor settings are restored (holding the push
button down while powering up)
=============
So if you plug in an ARMweb, connect it to the network first otherwise
it might not see the DHCP server, if it doesn't simply power cycle it
with the ethernet connected.
As for power a 5V regulated supply is fine, otherwise a 6V unregulated
wall wort would work fine.
