Hi all,
I'm trying to connect my Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (v1.1) directly to my Windows PC using an Ethernet cable (for a headless setup), but Windows reports:
"Unidentified Network"
No internet access
As a result, I can't SSH into the Pi using raspberrypi.local or its IP. I’ve tried different cables and rebooting both devices, but the result is always the same. The Pi seems to boot normally otherwise.
I haven't set up any static IP or DHCP server on my PC — I was expecting a link-local (169.254.x.x) connection to be enough for direct SSH.
Has anyone faced this issue?
Do I need to configure something on the Pi or PC to make this kind of Ethernet setup work?
Thanks in advance!
