I don't know how to replicate this problem nor do I know why it occurs. Has anyone else seen something similar to this before? Or have any suggestions on how to go about fixing...

Been Out Of The Loop For Years, Have Questions

However, my network is also in the 192.168.1/24 range. I thought I would just connect to the EZBv4 and change it's IP scheme/address and all would be fine. Nope. No options to. After poking...

Mobile EZB And USB Connection

Is it possible for EZB-mobile have support for USB connection?  My robot has an embedded pc with USB connection at the moment, but I would rather use something smaller if possible.  I had problems, in the past, with WiFi dropping connection or struggle to gain connection in large crowds.
