Can connect to the roboRIO by IP but not by hostname

How exactly do you do that?

Use the RoboRio USB Interface (the square plug on the RoboRio connected to the rectangular port on your Driver Station).
You need Silverlight installed on the Driver Station.
Navigate in the Browser to: 172.22.11.2
Select Network Configuration Options on the left side (4th icon that looks like an ethernet cable).
Configure IPV4 address

This will help you get to the RoboRio through the USB interface

Greg McKaskle can't actually comment on it yet. He attends his first event in a few days, and hasn't actually seen these issues in order to be able to debug them. And of course seeing isn't the same as having time to debug.

He does have a Win10 Lenovo that frequently doesn't show link when connected to the roboRIO. Disable/Enable on the interface fixes this and is somewhat faster than the roboRIO reboot. The other computers he tested with don't have this issue. He thinks this is related to power management features and is talking to folks about it.

And he isn't used to speaking about himself in the third person.

The third person

New discovery: If I connect via ethernet, then I can ping and connect to the rio via hostname and IP, and can connect successfully from the driver station. When I pull out the ethernet cable while connected, and switch to wireless, the driverstation remains connected, but I lose the ability to ping or ssh via hostname.
