Re: Robot OM5P-AN radio will not connect to computer

It's called DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
It's the dynamic part of it that's moving the IP assignments around.
It means IPs are assigned and they can be different all the time, but devices like PCs and roboRIOs can add-in or drop out at any time.

Instead of using IP addresses, you should be using DNS names, but you probably have a DNS suffix problem.
As a test try typing this name into the Driver Station in place of the IP address you have been using:
- roboRIO-1452-FRC.frc-robot.local

If that works, then I have something else for you to experiment with to fix your issue.
