Wireless Driver Station Practice

We have been trying all day to wirelessly connect our computer to our roboRIO. We tried using the National Instruments Bridge Configuration software but we got an error saying that the bridge couldn't be configured because the IP address configuration failed. We messed with the settings on the d-link and the NIBC software to see if that was the problem but we still got the same error. We changed the computer's IP address to match the d-link's address and then tried again and still got the same error. We then set it so the computer would automatically receive an IP address and then opened the driver station software and the driver station said that there was communication, but we couldn't do anything with the robot. We then tried to ping the roboRIO IP address and got nothing back, so the d-link and the roboRIO aren't communicating for some reason. Does anybody know how to get the d-link and roboRIO to wirelessly communicate and/or the cause of the "IP address configuration failed" error?
