Re: Tool to Manage Static Computer IP
Our team decided it was easier to just have two network interfaces. We picked up cheap network cards (you can find them for ~$10 each) and simply added a second interface card to our lab computers. Set the static IP on the robot interface and DHCP on the other one.

Bonus tip: You can buy a short ethernet cable and a straight-through double female RJ45 connector to extend your ethernet jack out to the edge of our desk. Helps a lot if your computer sits back under the desk.
