Re: Watchdog and Communication Issue
A few things to check:
- How fast can you ping the robot (in CMD ping 10.xx.yy.2)
- If the pings are averaging more than ~4 msec then you're debugging a problem in networking, if not then you're debugging a problem with software

If it's a networking problem I would try to isolate what link is causing the problem (computer ==> DS radio, DS radio ==> robot bridge, robot bridge ==> cRio) this should get you started on diagnosing and fixing the problem.

If it's a problem with software, I would reimage the cRio making sure you have the current firmware and check to make sure the DIP switch settings are right.
