Re: 2011 image problems
The second explanation is the one to pay attention to.

Turn off firewalls, turn off any NICs not in use -- typically this means to turn off wireless and connect with a cable.

In some situations, it is more likely to succeed if the computer and cRIO are both connected through a router than a direct cable.

Why? Imaging the cRIO involves broadcasting to locate cRIOs, regardless of their IP. Then the laptop must communicate with the cRIO, set it to the correct mode, download the image, and the cRIO reboots. The cRIO now has a generic IP setting -- this used to be 0.0.0.0, but should now be DHCP. The computer must locate the generic cRIO and configure its networking, name, etc. Then it reboots again. In other words, it has many potential steps that can fail due to timing conditions with DHCP or broadcast mechanism. These include computer drivers, security settings, routing tables and NIC configurations, etc.

Please try the steps above or follow one of the trouble shooting lists available from NI.com/first in the support section.
