If you don't have DHCP service enabled on the DAP, you'll have to set a static IP address on your development computer. It would probably be best to enable DHCP, telling it to give out addresses starting at 10.x.y.10 or so.

Do you have to set the classmate's wireless address too? Should it be set to 10.x.x.5 like last year?
The Driver Station app should take care of setting the address. Yes, 10.x.y.5 is correct.

Do you have to press the button on the dlink when trying to connect?
Never press the button. If it's anything like the older WGA, it's all about "easy" wireless security. You'll most likely end up with security enabled and an unknown WPA password. One of the first things we did was put a shield over the button so it doesn't get hit by accident.
