Here's how we've had the best (only) success. First, no network devices between the cRIO and the computer. We use the pink cross-over network cable that was in the kit of parts a couple years ago (back when the camera was connected to the cRIO second network port). Third, we disable any non-wired network adapter on the computer. Fourth, we set the computer ethernet adapter with a fixed ip address (10.xx.yy.zz) I forget the netmask, but its either 255.0.0. or 255.255.255.0. The xx.yy are based on your team number and zz is typically in the 5-99 range. Fifth, we disable the windows firewall on the PC. Then we run the imaging tool. That has always worked.

If the cRIO is new, it has a factory set IP address that I forget. Good luck.
