Re: Static IPs on the field
It should work.

Because of all of these issues teams are having, I'm actually thinking about sending an email to FIRST after the season, requesting that the RoboRIO only gets moved back to a static IP. You can leave the DHCP server on the radio, and that will properly hand out IP's to every other device. However the DS and FMS could connect to 10.TE.AM.2, and completely skip mDNS. This seems like it would fix almost every issue with the new radio setup, and still not require static IPs on the laptop, which was the goal, at least from what I remember. The only issue this brings up is you wouldn't be able to directly ethernet connect from the RoboRIO to a laptop, however doens't work half the time anyway, so another solution really needs to be found anyway.
