DietPi with Allo for RPI 5

Hmm., Thought I replied to this already, I guess not. I pinged the Ip address directly. I tried both x.x.x.76 (the ethernet address) and x.x.x.77 (the wifi address). With the RJ45 connected both work. With it disconnected neither work. Here, for laughs, is the configuration:

Whoa! This may be working via wifi. Shut down (power off). Removed RJ-45. Restarted. Waited a fairly long time. Connecting via x.x.x.77 (wifi) now works. Although GUI shows x.x.x.76

Did you set STATIC IP on ethernet? But honestly i don’t know how Allo is working to determine this information.

I originally did set static IP ( since ei have three different Pis running so I need to distinguish between them for login). But I had set it back to DHCP many restarts ago.

As said, not sure how Allo is getting these IP information. Something to ask Allo developer.

I have an educated guess. Since the Allo products typically support only ethernet (wifi is not part of the Pi3 compute module) they simply look to ethernet for the IP address. I have (oddly to me) an IP address for each.

Just a curiosity. and also the feedback that a complete power off and long wait is required for wifito take effect (reboot did not work, at least not upon seeing the device on my network)
