Uploading Java failed - mDNS

[LeadU2Fun]

That page is where I finally figured out the networking schema. In my experience it would help to explain that there will be no static ip addressing as in the past and it is important to first get the DHCP server set up and all interfaces on the laptop set back to Obtain a DHCP Address before doing anything else. That was a huge change that was hidden until you discover it on this page.

I appreciate all the volunteers that provide us with all this documentation and don't want to come across wrongly but I would have started with this huge difference and over emphasized the importance of setting that network up before anything else. That is the only reason I added the post in case their are teams trying to program in week 5 or 6 and not catching the subtleties on this page about the changes in the ip networking this year. This page seems to just be about mDNS at first glance till you notice the last 1/5 of the page at the bottom. Also, the mDNS section could mention that if it is failing (not coming back with an ip4 address of 10.TE.AM.21 when pinging or not uploading java code) then make sure both the laptop and the roboRio are connected to the wireless bridge and that the config utility for the bridge was run so that the DHCP server was set up as well as checking the laptop interfaces to see that they are set to DHCP.

I hope this helps.
