In the net console it says that Network communication failed to initialize after it started the code and before its says welcome to LabVIEW RealTime.

EDIT: To answer your first question and add what i should have added to the last sentence of my first post, it did it after reformatting, after deploying code, or anything. I played around with it again, mostly with networking stuff because of the error above, and after changing the net mask in the cRIO's web ui it came back to life. I wasn't sure that this would fix it and sure enough, after a night of sitting there it went back to refusing to work probably. Except this time the status light doesn't blink four times in a row, but it still gives the failed Network Initialization.

This error started Monday, (At a Career fair for middle schoolers, a most unfortunate time!), and after trouble shooting it for a while, I reset the bridge and it started working again. It refused to work again after we changed the battery.
