Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Wifi works, but can not remote view

Sun Apr 24, 2016 5:44 am

Hello all. I'm a noob and I am using my Pi for a project I am doing. I need to remote view my Pi through wifi. I've tried many tutorials along my learning experience and I used to be able to remote view through wifi, but apparently, I did something wrong along the way. I can remote view with ethernet cable (I have static IP for this) connected to my laptop, but no internet. If I connect the Pi with it's own monitor and keyboard, internet works great through wifi, but no remote view. I really don't want to reload Raspbian because I have made a lot of progress with my project and don't want to start over. If anyone has an idea on what is wrong, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Carl

For the ethernet issues, it sounds like it could be missing or incorrect values for the default gateway.

As for the wifi not being accessible, my guess is your wifi adapter is using a different IP than the one you're trying to connect to. If it's assigned by your router, and isn't static, you could be changing your IP on a regular basis and not know it. Run ifconfig -a to list your adapters and IP addresses, and check out the one your wifi adapter is using, and make sure you're trying to connect to that one.

You have made backup copies of any code (etc) that you have written, haven't you? Independent of your SD card? :shock:
