Re: Networking remote dashboard

We successfully ran our last practice match with a separate network, non-bridged, connecting the USB/ethernet adapter to the remote display machine, with a forwarding proxy installed in place of the classmate's local dashboard. So we have at least one configuration proven to work. I expect that's what we'll stick with now.

It's a bit unfortunate that what seems to be a reasonable and useful configuration, apparently not prohibited by the letter or spirit of the rules, is effectively prohibited by a practical limitation of the FMS that wasn't revealed until the last minute.

I'm also a little baffled about how the remote dashboard feature on the DS was INTENDED to work. Was it truly understood by anyone that this was a development-only feature that couldn't be supported in competition?
