XP is fine the driver station. You can look on task manager to be sure nothing is consuming all the CPU. We had that one year with smart dashboard & vision processing. (but that is a different story.)


Since you are tethered that eliminates wireless issues. You shouldn't have both DS computers with the same IP plugged in at the same time (what Greg said). Unless you are trying to use FMS the DS does not have to be IP 10.xx.xx.5 but you should not have two DS trying to talk to the same robot. Your DS should have the same team number as the CRIO ie 10.xx.xx.yz where XX.XX is the team number.

We have found that sometimes once one driver station has been connected to the CRIO, we have to reboot the CRIO to get another driver station to connect.
