Accessing the RuneUI over direct Ethernet (no network)

[charleskelly]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for the simplest way to simply plug in my RPI (via ethernet) to my PC, have my PC assign the pi an ip address, then be able to access the RuneUI through this IP in my browser. Note, this PC won't have any sort of wireless or wired internet connection, the only network cable plugged in to the PC will be the one from the PI. Any suggestions?



UPDATE:

So, I've connected the PI to my pc with an ethernet cable. This pc DOES have wifi enabled. The RPI shows up under my network adapters as unidentified network (I'm guessing this is expected). Running IP config on my PC (win10) shows a blank default gateway but gives me an "autoconfiguration IPv4 Address". Putting this IP into google chrome just shows a blank white page, no error nothing. Running this IP into Putty gives me: "connection refused". However, I can ping the ip from the cmd prompt and get a reply, However If I run "ping runeaudio" It cannot find the host.

What I can see myself from this is that it's not recognising the device as a raspberry pi (could be wrong). Anyone got any suggestions to move forward?

Disabling wifi has no effect on the outcome.
I'm using a standard Ethernet cable (but that shouldn't matter?)

Thanks

I have not tried this but it sounds fine. Do you check if the Pi appeared in the network connection of the PC? If yes, from that you can find the IP to try in the web browser ? I have no idea but why don't u try it ?

should work with crossover LAN cable. But have to be crossover and not ordinary cable!

Hi all,

the LAN chip used on the raspberry supports .

LAN9512 ( | ) (Model B) providing:
10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet (Auto-MDIX)

So no need for an extra crossover cable, a normal patch cable should do the trick.

If I am reading your request right you want to share your internet connection with the PI over a wired connection?

Take a Cat5/6 cable and connect the Pi and your desktop.

On your desktop go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

Select any two of the devices available (hold control while selecting the second to select two) and right click and select "Bridge Connection"

I have used this many times when setting my pi up initially in the past to use a convenient wired connection. I have bridged my wireless and the pi but not sure if it will work to just bridge two devices together. Worth a shot as it only takes a minute.
