I had looked there and had noted that the ip address fell into that range - - - - but - - - - > > > How is it connecting to and through the router? > > Well, *IS* it connecting through the router?

Yes - - - access the weather report so connectivity is there. > > What does "route -n" tell you? route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask more 0.0.0.0 100.115.92.193 0.0.0.0 100.115.92.192 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 > thought I'd check if I was connected by IP address - - meant I had to know the MAC address of the puppy. Supposedly you do chrome://system in the browser - - except that didn't work - - got me some fluff page. Then there was the suggestion that you find your hardware page at the log in. That also wasn't as depicted. Found a page listed as diagnostics - - - there I found listed a BSSID: but it doesn't match what my router table has !!!!!!! Included was an IP address which does fit on my router - - - so I was able to find the address - - - - what an ordeal. Seems like the machine was only made to be run and controlled from afar - - - pity. Might be a decent tool otherwise! (Touch keyboard doesn't have Control or Alt keys so need to find a different touch keyboard or add a bluetooth keyboard - - - I may do both.) Thanks for the tools - - - - I wouldn't have gotten things done without the help!!!!!!!!
