Ok, assuming you are using the 192.a.b.c range...
Let's not assume. Let's ask that question...
NapierianLog,
What is the IP and Subnet address of your workstation when you attempt to establish a connection to the 22-COMM-E adapter (PING, browse RSLinx Classic, etc.)?
Also, how are you physically connected between your workstation and the 22-COMM-E adapter?
An out-of-the-box adapter does of course not yet have an IP address. As BootP is enabled by default, it will broadcast its MAC address onto the network using UDP request packets, seeking out a Server to service those requests. With a valid physical connection to your workstation, which is acting as the BootP Server, the communications are only operating at the MAC address level during this initial request. The IP and Subnet address of the workstation do not matter here.
Once the adapter's MAC address has been assigned an IP address, via the BootP Server, and BootP has been successfully disabled, then the BootP UDP requests, containing only a MAC address, will cease to broadcast. The adapter may now only establish communications with other devices that have a valid and matching network configuration.
So once you have...

...set the IP address in the BOOTP tool and disabled BOOTP...
...you should then make sure that your workstation's network interface is configured to the same IP range and Subnet address as the adapter.
You "sound" like you know a thing or two here, so that may be stating the obvious a bit and you are long passed all that basic stuff. But you have not mentioned so far what your workstation's network configuration is, so I won't assume that you have already crossed that bridge.
