Connecting Raspberry Pi to computer/tablet

[uirsalan]

I read that you can connect the raspberry pi to a laptop with putty, and use your laptops screen, keyboard, mouse with the pi. I tried the procedure with model b+, but it said connection refused. How can I correct this.
I followed the instructions from http://pihw.wordpress.com/guides/direct ... onnection/

Other than that, how can i connect my raspberry pi to my android phone/tablet? I have a wifi router but no wifi dongle for the pi. Also I currently don't have a display for the pi, neither have set up the os first settings, so please tell me a way through which i can setup my os without a display, and connect it to my laptop or tablet with ssh, or whatever way possible. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Easiest is to install Raspbian Wheezy Standalone ( without using NOOBS installer ) as SSH is active by default

Connect the RPi via Ethernet Cable to the Router, then it will be a device on your home network

Sorry but connecting the pi to my wifi router via rg45 cable didn't make it show up on network devices in my windows 7 pc when i connected it to the wifi. What do I do?

The RPi will not show up as a device on other computers unless you configure a shared drive or something.
You need to look in the device list on your router and find the IP address given to the RPi.
Then use that to configure Putty to connect (SSH) from the PC to the RPi.

In most routers you can configure to reserve an IP address linked to the MAC address of the RPi. Then the router will always give the same IP address to the RPi. If not you may have to look up the IP address each time.

Here is some more detail from my web site:

If you don't understand these basic issues then you will probably need to find someone at your location who knows about computers to help you.
