Re: Can't get static ip to work-HELP!!!!!!(need ASAP for tomorrow)

sanelss: I assume all firewalls are off?

Do you know about the hosts file? You can put a hostname and IP address mapping in there and it will always use that IP. That gives you the ability to address things by host name when using static addresses.

On windows the host file is located at
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

For instance, if you set your roborio to an address of 10.16.58.2 then you would add an entry like this in your hosts file:

10.16.58.2 roboRIO-1658-FRC.local

If you add an entry in there, make sure you and other's on your team know its in there. It will override that name until removed.

I am not sure about the UDP issue.
