Our team's head programmer had two things to bring to the table when I asked him this for you; both were problems that we had ourselves, so see if it may help!

Method 1) Make sure your firewall is down, as this can hamper communications;

Method 2) Are your laptops running Windows 8? Even the most up-to-date programs that FRC uses for the cRIO's aren't compatible in the slightest with Windows 8, to the point that you can't even connect to the cRIO from a computer with Windows 8. If you're using a computer with that OS, then to be frank, you're plum outta luck with that one...

I hope for your and your team's sake that it's just a firewall issue, but if it is because of possible Windows 8 incompatibility, then I wish you luck for finding a fix to the problem. Keep us all here informed if any of that fixes it or not, I hope you can do so soon!

Best of luck out there!
