Any way to bring it up w/o a monitor? [solved]

Fri Feb 24, 2017 8:49 pm

I have a headless Pi, and I accidentally disabled its ethernet connection. Oops!

Is there any way to re-enable it without connecting a keyboard and monitor, which unfortunately I don't have here?

Thanks for any help.



Solved through wifi. Had to configure a local router to match a network that the Pi had been configured for. Worked!

It depends on what you did. If you configured the interface down then it will be fixed with a power cycle.
