Unable to connect to MongoDB server on driver station laptop

Our driver station laptop is running a MongoDB webserver. This server is used to store telemetry data as well as configuration data.

When we are in the pit and/or plugged in directly, our robot code is able to connect to the MongoDB and read configuration data and write the telemetry data. However when we are connected to the FMS, the robot code hangs on the connection to mongo.

We have disabled Windows firewall on the driver's station. We've also cleared out the iptables on the robo Rio. The FTA helped us diagnose the problem by trying to ping and connect from the FMS control station to our driver's station. He was able to connect and ping to the driver's station. The FTA also confirmed we were using an unblocked port 5900.

We've tried using the IP of the driver's station: 10.18.85.20. The robot code is written in Java. The connection is established at the start of autonomous, so we can get our configuration data.

Has anyone seen this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do to diagnose this problem?
