How to connect Raspberry PI to Laptop/ Computer????

rishikesh.147

Now very Important Step to configure raspberry pi in laptop/computer.

 

Now disconnect every connection and do as follow:

1. Connect the raspberry to laptop through Ethernet cable

2. Power on the raspberry Pi by inserting USB cable to it and wait for some time for booting.

3. Now goto Network and Sharing Center and You will see the undefined connection and go to change adapter setting and then open properties of Ethernet and goto properties of IPv4 and change IP to Static 192.168.1.89 and subnet 255.255.255.0 and press ok.

Note: Now You have to connect you Raspberry Pi to your modem for INTERNET

4. Now download a client software Bitvise SSH Client [Link: https://www.bitvise.com/ssh-client-download] and do setting as follows:

  • Login tab write HOST IP (Raspberry Pi address) and Port = 22 [see below Figure-1]
  • Goto Terminal tab of Bitvise SSH Client just enable X11 Forwarding [see below Figure-2]
  • You will asked for user and pwd : pi and raspberry respectively
  • Now press Login and you enter into raspberry pi terminal

Congrates You have done 60% work for configuring Raspberry Pi.


Raspberry Pi desktop to your Laptop screen through Remote Desktop( Ready available in Windows)

Note: Your raspberry should have net access in order to install some package from net.

 

startx does not work over SSH.

There are ways to get GUI witih x forwarding but I have not done it. Plenty of post on the forum about that.

I use RDP ( built into Windows)

 

On the RPi install xrdp:

Goto Terminal and write command
sudo aptget install xrdp

 

Go here for my RPi writeup. Basic config, Serial Port addon etc:

Now Open Bitvise SSH Client do setup

  • Hello all,

    I have just joined this group because the explanation of how to connect a Pi to a laptop seemed to explain the process better than any other I have seen.

    However, after carrying out all the steps in the explanation I am unable to connect. I am using Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. I have down loaded the xrdp onto the Pi. I have tried all the IP addresses recommended, briefly disabled the McAfee firewall, but I get an error message that reads:

    Connection failed. Flow socket connector failed to connect to target address.

    Windows error 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

    I noticed you say to setup window network properties as 192.168.1.89, but bitvise server host as 192.168.1.138! Should they be the same?


    Answer:

    Yes you have noticed my mistake, Yes the IP that you assigned to RPi, same IP you have to write into Bitvise server software.....!!!


    Now, How to assigned IP to RPi that i have described above description.

    I did get an SSH working now. Problem is no way to download packages per your statement..

    : Your raspberry should have net access in order to install some package from net.

    Following this verbatim gets me to connection refused! Windows error 10061
