We set out LAN IP to 10.46.45.5 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. When we try to image it it still doesn't image(or at least starts but puts an error(Error 7)). Also the modules never show up on the Imaging Tool nor are the little switches usable. We've tried everything we feel that we can so any help would be awesome. Thanks.

I would start with the basics. Can you go to a command prompt and ping the crio? Let's make sure you have communication first.

Also, you are connecting your ethernet cable directly to the crio from the computer, right?
