Re: Camera Watchdog Problems, Help!
For the camera, I'd check the IP address, check that the FRC account and FRC password exist, verify that the camera is plugged into port 2 using a crossover cable, make sure the camera is powered with a green light on the back or around the lens, make sure that the reset button isn't constantly pressed, and you should be able to simply run Begin over and over and watch a probe of the error output to determine if you've fixed the issue.
For the communications and watchdog issue, have you considered where your radio is mounted or how it is mounted? If the radio is overwhelmed by noise or buried in a metal box, the signal strength may drop to the point where packet loss is too high for reliable communication. The field displays some of this information, so if you can politely ask the FTA or FTAA before a match, or ask a CSA if one is at your regional, they can help also monitor the loss and trip time. There are probably some other tools for measuring signal strength built into either Win7 or the dlink, but you'll likely need to reconfigure the radio to be an AP in order to test it. If you go this route, be sure to reprogram it and return it to Bridge mode.
