Hello,
It sounds like you are running some older drivers that may not support the CRIO-9012 that you have as it was only released recently. Are you running Windows XP? If so, you can download version 2.1 of the RIO drivers from here:
I would give this a go and see if this changes anything.
Also, just to confirm the IP reset configuration; Do you switch the Reset IP to ‘on’, then hit the restart button, then turn the reset IP to ‘off’ and then restart again?
Let me know how you get on with this.

I'm certain I'm performing the reset IP correctly as I've sucessfully reset the IP of my cRIO-9004 from the same PXI PC. I am running Windows2000.
I've had a look at the link above, it appears there are two applicable updates:
1) CompactRIO Module Software Version 2.1.0f1 for Real-Time OS/Windows 2000/XP -- for CompactRIO Embedded Targets
2) NI-RIO Version 2.1 for Real-Time OS/Windows 2000/XP -- for R Series and CompactRIO Embedded Targets
The second update looks okay to install, but the frist update requires LabVIEW 8.0, 8.0.1, or 8.20.
The minimum software requirement for my cRIO hardware can be found here //ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/tut/c_rio_software_versions.htm#controllers
but no information on the requirements for cRIO-9012 ! I will try the second update above, lets hope I don't have to buy the latest version of LabVIEW as this will delay my project.

I now have LabVIEW 8.2, FPGA 8.2, RT 8.2, NI-RIO 2.1 & CompactRIO 2.1.0f1 & MAX 4.1, I also had to upgrade from Win2000 SP2 to Win2000 SP3 to install LabVIEW 8.2.
It’s worth noting, if your thinking of buying the cRIO-9012, you may be better with cRIO-9004 as it will work with LabVIEW 7.1 & NI-RIO 1.1.1.
It’s not clear from the links supplied at http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/203347 that cRIO-9012 has much higher software requirements than cRIO-9004.
On the plus side, the project manager is much better integrated to the FPGA targets in 8.2.
