Re: Non-Classmate Will not wirelessly connect
 
Is the DLINK in AP or Bridge mode. It needs to be in AP mode to connect directly to it using wireless. In Bridge mode, it connects to another AP (the field AP) and bridges you across. You can also try pinging the below addresses:

.1 - Dlink
.2 - CRio
.11 - Camera
.5 - DS - yes, try to ping your self just to make sure protocols are up

If you can't ping the Dlink, nothing else will work. I believe it works tethered, which eliminates Dlink to cRIO issues.

If the wired port on the DS and Wireless are both enable, you can try disabling the Ethernet port and trying wireless again. I've seen some laptops that have issues with both active at the same time even if one is not connected.

I'm not completely sure what that means, but it sounds a little like you had set the laptop's network adapter properties to use a dynamically-assigned address (using "DHCP") instead of setting it to a static 10.1.92.5 as it should have been. Since the field staff should have been able to find that quickly, though, I doubt that's what you meant.

What you say is what the field crew did. Then when our laptops were rebooted they would go back to searching. After spending all of lunch trying to get the laptops to not keep changing back the students decided that using the First loaner Classmate was better then trying to fix the problem and risk further matches. I have not checked with students since to see if they found the problem. That is their problem to work on and I will at some point be told they have found the problem and it will probably be some thing else.:rolleyes:

I am sure Alan you are far better at this subject then I am. My daughter tells me I am a little out of date. The last program I wrote was with punch cards. Now I just report what I am told.
