I had looked there and had noted that the ip address fell into that range - -

Its using a wireless connection from the router.
Yes - - - access the weather report so connectivity is there.

route -n
Kernel IP routing table

thought I'd check if I was connected by IP address - - meant I had to
know the MAC
address of the puppy. Supposedly you do chrome://system in the browser - -
except that didn't work - - got me some fluff page.
Then there was the suggestion that you find your hardware page at the log in.
That also wasn't as depicted.
Found a page listed as diagnostics - - - there I found listed a
BSSID: but it doesn't match what my router table has !!!!!!!
Included was an IP address which does fit on my router - - -
so I was able to find the address - - - - what an ordeal.
Seems like the machine was only made to be run and controlled
from afar - - - pity. Might be a decent tool otherwise!

(Touch keyboard doesn't have Control or Alt keys so need to find a
different touch keyboard or add a bluetooth keyboard - - - I may do both.)

Thanks for the tools - - - - I wouldn't have gotten things done without
the help!!!!!!!!
