Re: The IP Address Paradox

There might have been an unanticipated problem in your setup mixing USB communications with Ethernet communications.

When you use a USB connection between the Driver Station and the roboRIO (through that UNITEK USB device or direct) that introduces yet another IP address that can break your setup.
The DS USB to roboRIO uses a hardcoded 172.11.22.1 IP address scheme.
That's fine for DS to roboRIO communication, but would not allow your DS to communicate directly with either the Kangaroo or the IP camera.
There's nothing in the communication path that can bridge 172. addresses to 10. addresses.
If the DS doesn't interface with either of those, then it won't matter. If the DS does then it would work when the DS was communicating wirelessly or through an Ethernet tether, but not in the pits at competition or at home when connected via a USB tether.
