WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:05.630 In this lesson, I will show you how to find the Raspberry Pi IP address on the network. 00:05.630 --> 00:06.950 So what do we have for now? 00:06.950 --> 00:12.410 Well, we have flashed the operating system into the SD card and now the Raspberry Pi has boot with 00:12.410 --> 00:16.370 this SD card and it should be trying to connect to the wifi. 00:16.400 --> 00:19.430 So now it should already be connected to the WiFi. 00:19.460 --> 00:22.400 But the question is what's its IP address? 00:22.400 --> 00:25.430 Without the IP address we cannot do anything. 00:25.430 --> 00:28.280 And how to find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi? 00:28.280 --> 00:34.010 Well, there are lots of different tools and I'm going to show you one tool here that works well. 00:34.010 --> 00:39.980 And I chose this one because it's available for windows, Linux and also Mac OS. 00:40.010 --> 00:40.430 Okay. 00:40.460 --> 00:43.400 So the tool is called angry IP scanner. 00:43.400 --> 00:51.680 You can just type that on Google and go to angry ip.org here and just find the download button. 00:52.640 --> 00:56.960 So you can see you have the different instructions for windows, Mac OS and Linux. 00:56.960 --> 01:05.410 If you are using Mac OS and Linux, you might have to install Java before, so actually not on Mac OS 01:05.410 --> 01:05.770 anymore. 01:05.800 --> 01:08.890 It's already included, but on Linux you will need to install Java. 01:08.890 --> 01:10.840 So you have the instructions here. 01:10.840 --> 01:17.860 And on windows here I'm on Windows so I can just select the Windows installer okay. 01:17.890 --> 01:20.320 Includes Java and Runtime already. 01:20.590 --> 01:24.430 Just select the Windows Installer and let's install this. 01:24.760 --> 01:25.990 So lots of ads. 01:25.990 --> 01:33.130 But let's just wait for the executable and let's install it okay. 01:33.130 --> 01:33.910 You click on yes. 01:33.910 --> 01:35.170 If you have a pop up. 01:35.680 --> 01:36.940 Let's close that one. 01:37.540 --> 01:38.860 Let's install. 01:41.380 --> 01:42.550 Okay finish. 01:42.550 --> 01:46.120 And then once again you can go on the search bar here. 01:46.150 --> 01:51.280 Or just press the windows key and angry IP scanner enter. 01:51.280 --> 01:53.710 And that's the tool that we are going to use. 01:53.710 --> 01:59.740 So before we do anything once again and I can't repeat that enough, make sure that you are connected. 01:59.740 --> 02:06.900 So here you can see my computer is connected to the network called your Wi-Fi network. 02:06.900 --> 02:10.470 And this is also the network that I have set up for the Raspberry Pi. 02:10.500 --> 02:14.970 So both my computer and the Raspberry Pi should be on the same network. 02:14.970 --> 02:18.720 If it's not the case, then we won't find any IP address here. 02:18.720 --> 02:19.980 So very important. 02:20.010 --> 02:21.810 Now back to this tool. 02:21.810 --> 02:23.670 So what do we have here. 02:23.670 --> 02:28.230 Well we have the IP range that we want to scan okay. 02:28.260 --> 02:32.400 If you click on the IP here so you have the hostname of your computer here. 02:32.400 --> 02:37.950 If you click on that button you will see well you might have a lot or not a lot of stuff depends. 02:37.950 --> 02:40.740 But you should see something with the Wi-Fi. 02:40.770 --> 02:42.150 So what do I have here. 02:42.150 --> 02:46.290 Well I have this network here 192 dot 168. 02:46.320 --> 02:52.530 You might have the same two numbers first and then I have 203. 02:52.560 --> 02:52.950 Okay. 02:52.980 --> 02:55.620 That's the basically the mask for the network. 02:55.620 --> 03:04.460 So what we want to do is we want to scan the addresses from 0 to 255 with those three first numbers. 03:04.490 --> 03:04.970 Okay. 03:04.970 --> 03:09.380 And of course this number here is going to be different for you because, well, you don't have the 03:09.380 --> 03:12.470 same Wi-Fi network as the one that I have. 03:12.500 --> 03:14.240 So by default it should already be good. 03:14.270 --> 03:17.270 But just in case you can click here okay. 03:17.300 --> 03:21.050 On the Wi-Fi here to get the correct network. 03:21.050 --> 03:24.530 And then you can click on start. 03:24.560 --> 03:24.770 Okay. 03:24.800 --> 03:28.190 It's going to scan all the IP addresses here. 03:28.190 --> 03:32.840 So it's going to take a few seconds a bit less than one minute depending on your computer. 03:33.290 --> 03:34.580 So let's wait a bit. 03:35.720 --> 03:36.200 Okay. 03:36.230 --> 03:38.990 And it took 36 seconds for me. 03:39.080 --> 03:42.950 I can see I have three hosts on my network. 03:42.950 --> 03:44.810 So I'm going to click on close. 03:44.810 --> 03:50.240 And then how to find them easily where you can just click on ping here and sort by ping. 03:50.450 --> 03:50.900 Okay. 03:50.930 --> 03:53.990 The first one is my laptop here. 03:53.990 --> 03:56.990 And I have two other hosts here. 03:57.170 --> 03:59.480 But you can see in the hostname. 03:59.640 --> 04:03.960 So somehow I don't see Raspberry Pi in the hostname. 04:03.960 --> 04:08.880 So since it's the first time that the Raspberry Pi is booting, I don't know, maybe the hostname is 04:08.880 --> 04:13.050 not correctly displayed, so it should be one of those two to be sure. 04:13.050 --> 04:19.020 What I could do is I'm just going to remove the power from the Raspberry Pi. 04:19.050 --> 04:22.740 So not really something that we will do as a best practice. 04:22.770 --> 04:23.190 Later on. 04:23.190 --> 04:28.470 I will tell you exactly how to shut down the Raspberry Pi properly, but here I just removed the power 04:28.470 --> 04:29.550 from the Raspberry Pi. 04:29.580 --> 04:32.790 I'm going to scan again and discard. 04:32.790 --> 04:33.360 Yes. 04:33.930 --> 04:39.900 Okay, now you can see I have only two hosts on my network and I have. 04:39.900 --> 04:44.430 So I still have my laptop here and I have the one that ends with 199. 04:44.430 --> 04:47.130 So there was another one with 222. 04:47.160 --> 04:49.770 That one should be the Raspberry Pi. 04:50.100 --> 04:52.470 I'm just going to power the Raspberry Pi again. 04:53.910 --> 05:00.440 Okay, so now it's powered on and I'm going to wait, maybe 30s to try again so that the Raspberry Pi 05:00.470 --> 05:02.390 has the time to connect to the Wi-Fi. 05:02.510 --> 05:07.670 Okay, so give it 30s one minute and then let's scan again. 05:08.270 --> 05:08.660 Okay. 05:08.690 --> 05:09.680 Scanning completed. 05:09.680 --> 05:12.500 I have three hosts, so let's go. 05:12.530 --> 05:14.150 Sort by ping again. 05:14.150 --> 05:16.370 And you can see now this one is back. 05:16.370 --> 05:18.980 So this is the IP address of my Raspberry Pi. 05:19.010 --> 05:26.750 So in my case that's 192 168 203 and 222 for you of course it's going to be different. 05:26.750 --> 05:32.600 And well, as you can see, this is not a perfect case scenario where you just scan and you have the 05:32.600 --> 05:35.360 IP address directly with the host name Raspberry Pi. 05:35.390 --> 05:38.060 Sometimes I guess it could work like this. 05:38.060 --> 05:42.650 And I did a test previously where it was the case, but here somehow I don't have the hostname, so 05:42.650 --> 05:48.170 I'm just letting this in the video to show you actually how you can make some tests and see which is 05:48.170 --> 05:50.390 the Raspberry Pi IP address here. 05:50.390 --> 05:52.190 If it still doesn't appear. 05:52.190 --> 05:57.380 If you didn't find anything, well check again that your computer is connected to the correct Wi-Fi 05:57.410 --> 05:58.250 network. 05:58.400 --> 06:03.100 Maybe if you are using your smartphone as a hotspot, you can usually check. 06:03.100 --> 06:08.770 So it depends on the brand and the kind of phone that you have, but you can usually check how many 06:08.770 --> 06:10.990 devices are connected to your hotspot. 06:11.200 --> 06:14.680 So if you see two devices, one is your computer, one is the Raspberry Pi. 06:14.680 --> 06:20.410 You know that the Raspberry Pi is connected, but if you see only one device, then the Raspberry Pi 06:20.410 --> 06:21.550 is not connected. 06:21.550 --> 06:27.280 So if the Raspberry Pi is not connected, maybe try to pull it off and put it on again. 06:27.280 --> 06:34.360 Wait some time, at least a few minutes, and then it could also be that you provided the wrong Ssid 06:34.360 --> 06:38.470 and the wrong password when you configured the Pi on the SD card. 06:38.470 --> 06:45.070 So there are many reasons why things could go wrong here, but if you correctly followed all the instructions 06:45.070 --> 06:49.270 and you made no mistake, then you should be able to find the IP address. 06:49.270 --> 06:55.540 And now that we have this, we will be able to connect to the Raspberry Pi with SSH and then to enable 06:55.570 --> 06:59.680 VNC so we can have access to the Raspberry Pi desktop.
