Classmate networking issues

[apalrd]

Interresting...

The DHCP addresses should start at .10, anything under that is reserved (1 for bridge, 2 for cRio, 4 for router, 5 for DS, 6 for developer. That isn't important.

Turn off security. You have no reason to have your wifi connected to the internet at all. That seems to be tied to your problem..

We are using the Wireless-N band only to communicate with our cRio radio, then using a standard ethernet cable from the router to the Classmate. Works fine. We never put our DS somewhere our Router isnt so it isn't that big of a deal to us.

There are many things that should have been tried before assuming a problem with the Classmate.

*Check your subnet mask, it should be 255.0.0.0, we have had some problems related to that

*Check ping to other things, check ping on Ethernet port

*Don't kill extraneous tasks, most of them actually have a purpose. In fact, in the FIRST installation all of them except AVG have a purpose. AVG does too, but as long as you don't use it on the internet you don't need it.

*Tasks in Developer have no effect on tasks in Driver

*Try reinstalling DS after the mandatory updates. You MUST install the LabVIEW updates, btw. The DS is written in LabVIEW, so it needs the LabVIEW updates.

*Try setting a static IP on the Classmate. If you set a static IP, the DHCP server will not find you in its DHCP table because you never got an IP from it.
