This should not affect anything. Another common cause of lag is the camera not being connected and the camera code not being disabled. IP conflicts are bad. When you run the Driver Station on your laptop it will set the IP address to 10.xx.yy.9 The other IP addresses on the network are:
10.xx.yy.1
10.xx.yy.2
10.xx.yy.11 (If using the camera connected to your dlink)
From what I've seen, the 10.xx.yy.6 is no longer used and 10.xx.yy.4 hasn't been used in a few years. Any other address on your network should cause a conflict. Sinc we normally have several development computers attached to either of our robot's networks we designate a specific address for each computer to avoid this issue. If one of these computers becomes the Driver Station it will go to .9 and then when back in development mode it will go to it's pre-assigned address.
