Reply To: Issue Pi – Pc Connection

[dankcushions]

you shouldn’t need to give either pi or laptop static ips so that might have screwed something up maybe? you just have to know what ip your router has given to your PI (there’s a ‘show my IP’ option in the retropie menu), and then use that to connect via putty.

eg for me my putty session connects to 192.168.0.8, port 22, and connection type SSH. the ip occasionally changes when i reboot.

alternatively, your pi should appear as a network device on your mac/PC, if they’re on the same network.
