2014 Simulator communication

[orob]

First off, I'm new to FRC and robotics, but not Labview. I signed on as a programming mentor and I met with the team starting in October to learn and we played with the offseason simulator.

Since installing the 2014 software, I'm having some difficulty in getting the simulator to communicate. I've installed everything fresh, performed the updates. It is all licensed and running, but the driver station won't talk to the simulator like it did with last year's simulator or the offseason code. The driver station communication and robot indicators stay red.

I have tried a couple scenarios:

1. Start driver station (auto config wifi IP), start labview, start custom dashboard, start robot main - simulator comes up. No communication.

2. Start labview, start custom dashboard, start robot main, start driver station

3. Start labview, start robot main, start custom dashboard, start driver station

laptop IP : 10.32.6.9 (set from driver station)

The laptop IP is on the wifi network. All other network adapters are disabled. This configuration worked with the 2013 setup just before labview was reinstalled and the 2014 frc update installed.

Any insight on what to or where to look to find a solution would be appreciated. Thanks!
