[Greg McKaskle]

If the DS is connecting to a simulated robot, that means that a computer on your subnet is currently running the simulator. The simulator announces itself to the DS and the DS ignores the robot. The timing of the loop of the simulator announcements is pretty slow, and it will sometimes flicker a bit.

I suspect that your robot code really was downloaded according to the target label in the lower left.. It may even be running. But it is being ignored by the DS.
