We have done it quite a lot too...but lately it has not worked.

Yes, whenever we set up a radio and driver station with a different team number, the laptop will find the radio, but we continue to get a "no robot code" message

Not sure what "network topology" means or is... I have re-programmed the dlink successfully with a different team number, then changed the team number on the driver station options, but it will not connect to the robot...only when I have the actual team number does it work.


To the other responses - FlamingSpork: we do use two different laptops. One has both the new and the old versions, and the rest only have the new. I seriously doubt that the presence of both driver station programs is causing a conflict, because I can operate either the new or the old robot with the same driver station IF that robot is set up with our correct team number, and I can not operate a robot that is set up with a different team number on any laptop. Mark McLeod: Thanks for the response, but I'm a mechanical guy - I don't understand a thing you are saying. If you can dumb down your recommendation to my level it will probably work, since it does not involve changing the team number (which seems to be causing our problem).
