Hi All
I believe the cause was not having the "Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection." checked for that network adapter. I put it together when I read an older post (can't remember now) that said the radio needs to talk to the computer too. I reference it. I don't a word processing software on this machine so I could not capture the screen prints for you. Thanks

Applies to Windows 10 (Mostly)
Download the latest FRC Radio Configuration Utility Installer from the$@#WPILib project File Releases.

Note: If you need to locate the program it is installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\FRC Radio Configuration Utility. For 32-bit machines the path is C:\Program Files\FRC Radio Configuration Utility\

Pin application to start menu and task bar.
Must Turn off Wifi on laptop before proceeding!
"Run as Administrator" by right clicking the icon on task bar.
Note: before you start the FRC Radio Configuration Utility, I identify the network interface name of the network adapter you will be plugging in. Single click on network icon in lower right part of the screen. When the available networks are presented to you, click on the "Network Settings" at the lower part the list. In the "Network Settings" screen click on the "Change Adapter Options" and that will take you to a Control Panel screen (Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections). In there you should see all your network adapters on the box. Figure out the one you plugged in your radio. If there is a red X in the icons it means they are not active. Power up your radio and you will see it go active. That will be the name of the name of the network interface presented to you in the Radio Configuration Utility in the next step.
When the app opens you will be given a choice of network interfaces.



In "Network Interfaces" screen select "Ethernet" or the one you identified.
Connect 12v power cord and ethernet cable to the radio in 802.3af POE port
Wait for the power light to stay solid blue. Should see two solid blue lights, power and network.
Enter team # xxxx and password, and take all the defaults if that suits your needs Click the "Configure" button

You will see this Configuration progress screen, and it will say "successfully programmed"



When complete click the "OK" button.




"You will see a message asking "Do you want to allow your PC to be discoverable by other PCs and devices on this network? We recommend allowing this on your home and work networks, but not public ones." Click "Yes"
I am not totally sure but I believe that In "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections" this is where this setting is changed and what fixed the problem. If you right click on your network adapter, and select the "sharing" tab you will see the choice to "Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection." I believe that is what the dialog changes in the background. I see mine as checked an greyed out. I believe when I was having the problem it was unchecked. I believe the radio needs to talk to the network too, and without it checked it could not.
