  • If you've edited the file (while the DS app is NOT running), then your changes will be taken and used when the DS starts up to configure the NIC/team number, etc. Changes you make while in the DS app. will get written back out to the .ini file.
  • The DS will change the NIC if it doesn't match the team number, unless the NIC is set to <noNICConfig>. The DS will ignore the NIC in that case and you can use netsh or go through Network Connections to make your settings.
  • The FRC Original Network Settings Dump.txt file only got created the very first time you ran the DS app, not every time. If you delete the file it will be regenerated with whatever the current settings are, before the DS app attempts to change the NIC. You can also edit the file by hand if you like.
To me this is very helpful information. I'm afraid to ask, but is this in a document somewhere that I overlooked? If so, my apologies for not searching more diligently.
