Hi everyone,
I'm settling into uni now, and have thought I could start playing about with my raspberry pi, perhaps do a bit of programming, turn it into a webserver, etc.
However, I have straight away hit an obstacle. I have no TV.
I have tried connecting the hmdi with that of my laptop, alas, it seems the hdmi on my laptop is only hdmi output.
I was going to try ssh, by taking into the computing labs and using a monitor with hdmi input to set everything up, take it back to my room and use it. But in that case, the IP address would change.
Does anyone have any ideas that might work? I have two ethernet connections in my room, indeed ethernet connections on both my pi and laptop, but I would really like the pi to be able to connect to the internet, so I could experiment with it as a web sever, for example.
Anyhow, many thanks for your time.
