If you use USB you have to have the USB driver for the roborio installed and MDNS installed.

If you use Ethernet you only need MDNS if you don't use static addressing on the RIO.

What I recommend is set the IP address on the RoboRIO to static 10.TE.AM.2 and then you set the IP on your computer to 10.TE.AM.5 and then plug the computer direct to the RIO and it will start communication almost instantaneously.
