No longer able to connect

Hey guys/gals.... I turned my printer on today and I can no longer connect to it via my laptop. It's a vcore 3.1 , raspberry pi, octopus board and ebb tool board. I cannot connect via my phone anymore either which is telling me this is pi issue. I've tried rebooting it several times via turning power off, waiting and turning back on to no avail....the last print I tried to do failed and the computer was downstairs so I hard shut it down. Could I have corrupted the SD card requiring a complete reflaah?

I think you can connect laptop directly to raspi with Ethernet, could try sshing in from there If that doesn't work, I'd reflash the SD or a new SD and see if the pi comes back up

Thanks Hope someone can explain this.... I've been logging into this printer via phone and computer using ip address 192.168.0.144 forever.... I decided to take a peek inside my router and see if rat os showed up as a client. It did. However it is now at 192.168.0.145. One digit different. How did this happen and I'm glad I didn't get too crazy reflashing things

Unless you set it in the router there is no guarantee that it will reuse the same IP address when the current DHCP lease expires

yeah, if the router rebooted it might reallocate in a different order

Sometimes it happens to me too Restart the Router or the pc you want to enter witb

if you want it to always be the same IP, set a static DHCP for it in your router
