Hallelujah!

We have success.

Here is what we did.

1. Do an IP Reset
set the IP Reset DIP switch on the cRIO to ON
push reset button on cRIO
Set the IP Reset DIP switch on the cRIO to OFF

2. Power off the cRIO, then Power it back on
2a. Turn off your computer's firewall
3. Connect to computer to the cRIO using the crossover cable
IP Address on computer 10.0.0.6 SubNet 255.0.0.0
4. Run MAX (Measurement and Automation) to reset IP address (it is now 0.0.0.0) on the cRIO
Tools\NI-Serial\Ethernet Device Configuration
This should find the cRIO and show the MAC address
5. Click Properties and set the IP Address to 10.0.0.2 SubNet 255.0.0.0
6. In MAX, click Remote Systems and then F5 to refresh and you should now see the cRIO.
7. Expand the cRIO under Remote Systems,click on Software, and click on Add/Remove software
Reload the NI-RIO 2.4.1 software


At this point you should be able to return to the FRC cRIO Imaging Tool and flash the cRIO

99. Turn your firewall back on


Oh yeah, and one final step that seemed to work, we switched computers. When we did that everything worked fine.

And they say water boarding is torture. Ha, it ain't got nothing on flashing a cRIO
