[FTC]: samantha issues

[johncap100]

I have having some issues with the samantha and the FTC

I have installed the FCS etc.

I have configured the samantha as per instructions.
When I start up the FCS i go to configure and then to the match page.
When i type in my NXT number i get messages like;
the ip address is off, or the ip address is being used, or the ip address or refues connection etc,

If someone has some advice i would greatly appreciate it

thanks
