The unexpected ".frc-robot" is apparently confusing both the DS and Eclipse deployment.

What I have seen on my system (Windows 10):

1) Somebody, somewhere, is setting the "Connection-specific DNS Suffix" for the wireless adapter to "frc-robot.local" (see "ipconfig /all"). I don't know how this is happening but it looks broken to me. Radio firmware?

2) If you go to Control Panel->Network and Internet->Network and Sharing Center->Change Adapter Settings->(select) Wi-Fi->(tab)Change settings of this connection->(in dialog, select)Internet Protocol Version 4->Properties->Advanced->(tab)DNS, you'll see what appear to be a couple of ways to override the above setting:

a) Change "Append primary..." to "Append these..." and put "local" in the list.
-or-
b) Put "local" into the "DNS suffix for this connection" box.

In very limited testing either seems to work for me.

I am NOT a Windows expert (and wouldn't admit it if I were). If those who are disagree, trust them not me.
