      Sam, the Pi is connected via wireless. Yes, I meant autorun on my first post. I did change the Pi configuration to allow SSH. I have Eero mesh AP’s connected to my home network. I don’t know how to check if access is being blocked to the Pi. Since everything is fresh on the install it makes sense that the network is the culprit. The reason I went with a new install was to enable pasting config, etc. files here on the forum.

        @jimb i understand… if you can use a terminal window on the pi, can you ping xxxx, where xxxx is the hostname or ip address of the windows pc?

        what is the output of ip addr ?

        i know it stinks, but you can post a pic, third icon from the right above the forum post editor

          @jimb I’d also suggest trying my MMM-Config module, which presents a form for config.js including outside modules… all done with discovery of the installed modules and there parms…

          some modules cause trouble… but there are ways around with some extra work… it may not be for you… another pile of work to learn, it it doesn’t work…

          https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

          it doesn’t help with module install, only configure

            Sam,
            OK progress on the network front. I spent some time yesterday on the phone with eero tech support. At rhe end they suggested connecting my PC wirelessly and seeing if I could ping the rasberry. It works. I can ping and SSH/Putty into the pi, but have an additional snag. It accepts the login and sends a password request. BUT, I can’t enter anything- the keyboard is dead at that point.

              @jimb ok, sounds like the wifi network is a guest, not connected to the regular ethernet network…

              don’t use putty

              open a cmd.exe window

              ssh user_name@machine_ip
              

              add one of the tools

              winscp or bitvise ssh clients

              they will give you a filemanager view of the files and an ssh window ,
              per system you connect to…

              bitvise also provides a filemanager view of the pc filesystem , so you can drag/drop files in either direction… (you would only do that for logs to pc, of special bug fix file , to pi)

                  @jimb missing some at the bottom

                  I assume the apikey with a new line inside is a removal edit problem

                  always wrap config.js content in code block

                  paste into editor
                  blank line above and below
                  select pasted text
                  hit button </>

                      Sam, I tried to do the Ctrl-Shift_i keypress in the browser, but nothing happened. Do I need to do this at a certain point in time or from a certain place. The reason is because I’m still getting the 401-unauthorized messages if I perform the npm start dev process during application start.
