It's easy to be fooled. The Imaging may partially work, but fail to complete, without a crossover cable - I saw it happen this season. Best connect a crossover cable directly from the cRIO (port 1 on the 8 slot one), to your computer.

I've also seen Imaging fail with the computer not on the same subnet, again running partway. The imaging tool will show the IP address of your cRIO but not complete. In this case, change the computer's IP address to the same first three
dotted numbers (eg, if the imaging tool gives the IP address as www.xxx.yyy.zzz, set your computer's IP address to www.xxx.yyy.zzz+1, for example. Hopefully the Imaging will complete, then set your computer's IP address to 10.te.am.5, etc.
