I want to say for the record, that FIRST has been very upfront about making sure you have your non-classmates configured specifically for competition.
When you log onto your Driver Account, If the regular windows bar still show up on the Driver Station and Dashboard, then you have not configured it correctly.
Teams, if you have the opportunity, go ahead and download a copy of FMS 2009 Light on another computer. Plug your FMS computer and DS computer into your old Linksys Router (or any other router/swtich of choice). Make sure the router's IP is set to 10.0.0.4 Then run the FMS and DS in the Driver account. Set one of the team numbers to your team number in the FMS. Set your DS up as your normally would for competition. If all works you'll see your computer say FMS Locked, and the FMS will show your DS connected.
It would be a great idea for all teams to try this before arriving at events to help keep these problems from occurring.
