What is the IP address of your computer? The DS expects it to be a .6 address in order to use it as a local Dashboard. An easy to fix for this is to set your team number in the Driver Station or you can manually change the IP address yourself.

I've had success using different IP address than the 'official' address.

However, I did try setting the team number in the driver station and telling it to configure the network device. Didn't fix it.

It sounds like communication may be going from the DS -> the cRIO but the status packets may not be coming back from the cRIO. This would likely be a firewall issue.

But then why did the virtual DS work correctly?

Also, the Driver Station software asks for administrative rights -- presumably this is because it needs to disable the firewall appropriately. I can try disabling the firewall however, that might fix it.
