Question Using the school's Network as the Bridge
Hey everyone,

Well, I plan to attempt having my laptop connected to my school's network, which in theory each school network router would acess the Robot's Radio when possible.

So the most basic breakdown of this would be that (assuming the school has only 1 router) the router (still using its default IP settings) would need to be able to connect to the Driver Station, my Laptop, the Robot Radio, and the cRIO.
Would I be able to just set a static IP to each component (say make each component 10.0.0.zz)? OR would I have to manually set the IP adress for each componet to say 128.0.0.zz (would I be able to change the DS)?

Radio 10.xx.yy.1
cRIO 10.xx.yy.2
DS 10.xx.yy.5
Laptop 10.xx.yy.6
Cam 10.xx.yy.zz (11-20)
(where xx.yy would represent 5.39 for normal use and 00.00 for the schools network)

So I guess part of this would be the question of.. how the Router that connects the Laptop and Robot Radio together is configured for NORMAL use.

I plan on attempting this at my house tonight and school tomorrow night so I'll post back with results and check for updates.
Thanks,
Davis
