It really disrupts Java/C++ downloads which check a variety of addresses to connect, but not that extra frc-robot address.
Then you have to add that extra address to the list it checks.
Thanks Mark! This is the condition we've been struggling with.It's great to know someone understands the problem; a solution is sure to follow. No pressure.

The "what do we do meanwhile" bottom line appears to be:
1) The DS won't connect. The workaround you gave handles this.
2) Cannot deploy from Eclipse. Direct connection via USB works around this. Back to the old IFI days.
