| Troubleshooting | ||||
| 	It is expected that you are aware of basic networking while working on this project and that you have read up on the project prior to going to Discord | ||||
| 	Do you know the IP? | ||||
| 	Can you ping the IP? | ||||
| 	Did you swap cables? | ||||
| 	Did you swap the eth port to a known working eth port? | ||||
| 	Do you have access to another router or switch? | ||||
| 	Did you change ports on the router/switch? | ||||
| 	RPi4 - Did you hook up a monitor? Once logged in, can you ping to your gateway? Other IP's on the same network? | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Did you connect a monitor to the target? Does it work? | ||||
| Did you connect the PIKVM to the target directly? Does it work? | ||||
