First, welcome to ChiefDelphi.

Attempt to ping the robot's IP address from the classmate. The IP is 10.xx.yy.2, where xx is the first two digits of your team number and yy are the last two digits. 1103 would become 10.11.3.2.

If ping is successful skip to DS troubleshooting, otherwise continue to network troubleshooting.

Check the status light on the robot. If you have the status light connected it should be blinking, if not look at the LED next it's connection on the digital sidecar. If its not blinking post for more help, and ignore what I'm saying below.

Network issues

If at anypoint pinging the cRio works stop this list, and test the driver's station.

Verify the team number adn IP address are set correctly on the classmate. Setting the team number in the driver's station will confrigure the IP correctly. Then try to ping again.

Run ipconfig from the classmate command prompt, and verify the IP address is 10.xx.yy.5. If not configure it manually.

Verify you are connected to NIC #1 on the cRio.

If using the wireless verify there is connectivity between the bridge and router. There will be a wireless light on on the bridge if it is working.

Connect the cRio eth1 to the classmate using a crossover cable. Try again to ping. If this work reconfigure your wireless hardware.

While still connected via a crossover run the cRio imaging tool.

Connect a serial cable between the serial on the cRio and a PC, set the consoel DIP switch on the cRio, and watch the console output during bootup. You will see a line saying it is configuring network, and then two line with the IP addresses of the two NICs on the cRio. If the NIC#1 Ip doesn't match IP you are using to ping there may be an issue. Post for more details if this is the case.

DS troubleshooting

Verify the team number is set correctly in the DS setup screen.

Reboot the classmate.

Verify that no firewalls are blocking DS communication.

Post if this doesn't resolve the situation.
