2015 Driver Station Frozen?

[Joe Ross]

Is this the same computer that gets stuck at [echo] Trying Target: roboRIO-1771.local in your other thread?. It sounds like mDNS issues could cause both.

Early in beta, you could type in an IP address to the driver station team number. Not sure if that functionality still exists, but you can try that to try to work around mDNS issues.

Yes, this is the same computer.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by typing in an IP address for the driver station. I know in the previous years, the driver station would automatically assign your computer's IP address for you, after you input a team #.

However, with the driver station frozen, I can't access the settings page (of the Driver Station), to input anything.

I am going to reinstall the Driver Station on my laptop tonight, hopefully that fixes it.

Update: After uninstalling and reinstaling the entire Update Suite, the driver station appears to be working. (Not connected to a robot though). Hope I don't get the problem the original thread described, once I connect to the robot.
