Re: Not able to connect to roborio mDNS name on OSX

Greg,

We did some investigation on this on the robot's network, and the two mdns processes are definitely conflicting with each other. I can't imagine why both are enabled -- I suspect an oversight?

Anyways, I disabled the avahi-daemon from starting, and the problem went away. I would recommend that NI/FIRST remove one of the mdns daemons from future images.

Interestingly, I don't have this problem when the robot is connected to my network at home, only on the network connected to an FRC configured router.

I tried the link-local thing, and I'm not sure if it made a difference. I don't think it did.
