As the P64 does not currently work with my Dell monitor (which although now getting on a bit, is still a fantastic bit of kit) and I want to play with the P64 in my computer room, I've installed xrdp server and use remote desktop from my windows machine.
So first up you need to find out what DHCP allocated IP address the P64 was assigned, so on your PC do the following...
You'll need to know the local lan setup for your home network, (ipconfig /all on window or ifconfig on Linux), now replace the 192.168.0. if required in the commands below with your home configuration. Assuming your using IP4.
If Windows, open a cmd shell and enter
FOR /L %i IN (1,1,255) DO (
PING -n 1 192.168.0.%i
)
If Linux open a command shell and enter...
for i in {1..255}; do ping -c 1 192.168.0.$i; done
The above command will loop through the subnet and test each address. look at the output for each address, you should get a message something like "64 bytes from " then the address if there is a device on that address. Make a note of all the address which respond.
You should now be able to work out which address is your P64 by trying to connect via ssh (.1 is probably your internet gateway.)
One of the guy's on here with network know how will probably be able to give us a command to work out all the devices on your local network with one command, but try this until someone post a better option.
As for HDMI-DVI it's a problem that must be solved, but I understand at the moment we need an updated closed source binary or the source code for it be become open source before it can be fixed.
