PC restart required every time bot is restarted

[priderobotics]

Thanks everyone for your replies! I haven't checked this thread for a few days, and it looks like we now we have a BUNCH of things we can try this afternoon at practice.

We will re-post with an update of what works and what doesn't.

SOLVED: Disabling and enabling the network adapter works consistently on both of our Windows 8.1 HP laptops. Special thanks, rrossbach and Alan Anderson!

Things that didn't work:

• ipconfig /flushdns
• restarting "NI mDNS Responder Service" and all dependent services
• restarting DS
• every possible sequence of the above

THANK YOU ALL for your replies. I'm just super-pumped that I don't have to restart the computer every time we restart the bot now.
