Replugged it ... now how do I reach it (headless)?

Post #319,282 by drook 12/29/09 5:32:34 PM Reply	Replugged it ... now how do I reach it (headless)? The keyboard and monitor are still in the other room. I assumed, since I set up a static IP, that I'd be able to SSH into it as soon as it booted. No such luck. So is there a way to reach it, or do I need to haul the monitor in, too? -- Drew

It's quite late in the boot process, IIRC. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.

I suspect the problem is it's at 192.168.1.50, and the router I'm connected to is set to 192.168.2.1. So if I understand correctly, they're on different segments, and unable to talk to each other? -- Drew

I'm doing the backup, and will move everything back when it's done. It still bugs me that I couldn't connect to the DLink. Maybe I'll try again while I have a connection and can research things faster than running from room-to-room. -- Drew
