If your school has a WIPS, then you'll need to talk to your school's network administrator to have them whitelist your VEXnet keys so the WIPS doesn't target them. To do this you'll need a list of all the MAC addresses for each of your VEXnet keys. VEX provides a tool to collect the MAC addresses here.

If you need more help, I suggest posting your question in the official VEX forums here. VEX employees monitor that forum and are very helpful with getting issues resolved. In general the VEX forums have a lot more VEX-related activity than CD does, so you might want to check that out either way.
