Re: OM5P-AN and OM5P-AC Config Problems

mDNS/DNS is not resolving the address.
So try stopping and restarting the service.

Look at Task Manager -> Services
and scroll down looking for nimDNSResponder to check that it is running.

- Right-click on nimDNSResponder and choose Stop Service
- Wait for it to stop
- Right-click on nimDNSResponder and choose Start Service


After it's Running again, try pinging both roborio-3102-frc.lan and .local
to see if that helped.
If that doesn't help it means something on the PC is blocking the service. That would be a firewall, anti-virus or other 3rd party vendor security.
Also when a network is first detected and Windows asks if it is a Home, Work, or Public network, always choose Home or Private network, otherwise, restrictions are applied that interfere with FRC operations.

As a final resort you can try installing iTunes on the PC. iTunes installs it's own mDNS service and whatever is doing the blocking probably already has a built-in exemption for iTunes and would allow it to operate normally.

P.S.
I'm traveling, so I'll be out of touch for a bit.
Someone else may have more suggestions, too.

P.P.S.
I added a few edits adding some more information.
