Are you sure your Windows firewall is completely disabled?


I *think* I fixed a Driver Station communication weirdness at our shop today. We've been having problems establishing communication with the robot right after turning everything on. Enough messing around with the network settings gets it working.

The firewall was off, but only for "private" networks. The laptop apparently makes a distinction between the two different routers even with the same SSID, and it seems to have decided that the new router has established a "public" network. Maybe turning off the other half of the firewall fixed it...or maybe doing that reached the necessary amount of messing around with the network settings, and it'll be broken again next time we try.
