Ports changed independently?

Hey, I'm Yair from team 5951, head of programming team and we've encountered a weird problem. As we were testing out some of the motors from the 2016th game's robot, we noticed some motors didn't work, some worked twice (iterated through all ports). We went into the NI web based configuration & Monitoring via Mozilla Firefox and we noticed some talons had the same port. We thought "No problem, let's fix that", and we did. Problem was, a few seconds later we noticed the site got refreshed and the motors got new ports, that happened a couple of times. I don't believe it was something in the code since it was a really simple code that just iterated through the talons and activated each of them for a few seconds. Did any other team experience this weird problem? How did you fix it? Do you think it's a problem with the roborio?

Thanks in advance
