Sam, I’m trying to get to the point where I can copy/paste the config where you can take a look at it. It’s been 45 years since I looked at Unix, never Linux.
IP Config from the OS prompt on the Pi yields -
“Link/loopback 'all zeros…”
“inet 127.0.0.0/8 scope host lo”
NOT a valid IP address, it should be in the range of 192.168. x.x
hostname command from the Pi gives “rutspi” which is the hostname I assigned as it was building.
