Unhappy Re: C++ Sample Code not working...

Essentially:

Even though we've upgraded to 1.5, the disabled/no communication message has simply changed from flashing red/green to blinking red. We have installed the plugin and altered the *.ini file. We have successfully upgraded all the Jaguar firmwares and can connect to them with the 2CAN to receive telemetry data successfully.

The 2CAN is at 192.168.0.42 (does the gateway have to be something special?) and is connected between the cRIO and the camera. We can successfully retrieve live image data from the camera in this configuration.

Which sample code should we be using--FirstForge or yours?

Is there any way to confirm communication between the cRIO and the 2CAN, or even if the plugin is successfully starting? It seems like a mysterious problem, and we must have something misconfigured. Is there no field to input the 2CAN IP? (does it use broadcast / ARP sniffing in the CAN plugin on the cRIO?) I'm tempted to try and hook up a packet sniffer just to be able to see what is going on (or not going on, as the case may be.)

We have had a deadline imposed on us of Thursday, and I was really looking forward to using CAN this year--so any guidance would be greatly appreciated, especially because we are planning on using 8 (tan) jaguars for our robot.
