Multiple problems connecting to the robot using WiFi. No problems using wired etherne

Hi,

I have multiple communication issues with the robot. First the drive station will not connect over wifi, but will over ethernet. Second, Eclipse, using the wpilib plugin, will only connect using wired ethernet. Third, I can't get to 10.12.77.1 using a web browser (our team number is 1277).

Using WiFi:

If I ping the address that Eclipse is trying to connect to (roboRIO-1277-FRC.local), I get nothing. If I ping roboRIO-1277-FRC, I get a response as follows:

ping roboRIO-1277-FRC

Pinging roboRIO-1277-FRC.frc-robot.local [10.12.77.22] with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 10.12.77.22:
Packets: Sent = 3, Received = 3, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 2ms, Average = 1ms

Note the hostname it displays - which is neither roboRIO-1277-FRC nor roboRIO-1277-FRC.local.

If I configure all of those hostnames in the windows hosts file, Eclipse will now download code over wifi. However the drive station will still not connect over wifi. There is nothing in the drive station log files that tells me what host it is trying to reach using what hostname.

With those hosts configured, I can connect to http://roboRIO-1277-FRC.local/ and see the roboRIO admin page over wifi

I have done all of this with the firewall disabled (private and public). I have tried the 2016 radio and the 2017 radio. I have updated the firmware on both multiple times and flashed it with the mesh image multiple times.

Everything works over wired ethernet.
