We changed it back, logged out, logged into our Driver account, and couldn't connect again. When we logged back into our Developer Account and found that the IP Address had changed back to .5. We tried setting the address to automatic instead of manual. We logged out and back in, and checked it out. It had changed to0 manual settings, with 10.8.88.5 as the address. We were able to connect through LabVIEW, after changing the IP to automatic. Any ideas why this might be happening, or how to fix it?

The driver station application sets your IP address to the correct one for you automatically so that you don't have to. It's not a problem that needs fixing... it's a feature.
