Re: Can't connect to D-Link

From that ipconfig it appears that your wireless is Disabled (or non-existent) since there is no entry for it.

It also has an odd IP address (10.0.2.15) for the Ethernet port.
Is the laptop Ethernet port connected to a building network or to the robot's DLink?

To connect via Ethernet to the DLink try this:

Connect the laptop to the DLink via Ethernet cable
Change your laptop's Ethernet port IP address to 192.168.0.51
Power up the DLink
Set the switch on the DLink back to 2.4GHz
Use a paperclip or other small pointy object to press and hold the rest button on the back of the DLink for a slow count of 10
Wait for the two status lights on the front of the DLink to turn blue
Try browsing to 192.168.0.50 and see if you get the DLink login page

If you can get that to connect, then we'll go from there.

I can think of one further thing to investigate. Please open a command window and run the "ipconfig" command. Copy the output here. Maybe one of us will see something helpful.

Mr. Anderson, we have succeed...partially. We were using a Virtual Machine, now changed a computer and it worked. The problem we currently have is that we can deploy the code into the robot, but unless it is connected with the cable the "Communications" and the "Robot Code" are lit red.

Re: Can't connect to D-Link

Is your computer still set to that unexpected 10.0.2.15 IP address, or is it now configured properly for DHCP?

Can you ping roboRIO-5750.local? Do you get the web interface when you point a browser at http://roboRIO-5750.local?
