If that is indeed the case, then how do we fix it?
Has it ever worked?

Try connecting your computer directly to the cRIO with a crossover (orange) lan cable, plugged into the cRIO's LAN port, so there's no switch/bridge in the data path. As was mentioned before, disable WiFi on your computer (not just disconnect any connection, go to Control Panel => Networking and disable WiFi). Your computer's LAN IP address should be 10.32.44.5. Then run the NI imaging tool and let us know what happens.

If you did find a solution please post so others with the same problem benefit! Thanks!
