IP Keeps Changing

Why does 2.10.3 step 8.a (pg 52) instruct to set the IP for the computer to be used to end in 10?

While I agree the manual 2.6 step 6 (pg 31) does state that the Classmate IP should end in 6, I find the Control Systems Manual confusing on this point, as the step-by step instructions for 2.10.3 step 8.a (pg 52) instructs to set the IP for the computer to be used to end in 10, which one assumes to be the drivers station (classmate) since all of the preceding steps are about setting wireless communications with the robot. For a rookie team having connection problems and trying to follow instructions to the letter, a very unfortunate diversion from discovering the "real" problem.
