Using mDNS/Bonjour Naming

If you don't want to have to remember your Pi's IP address, you don't have to! Jessie Lite includes and automatically enablesavahi which lets you use names like raspberrypi.local

If for some reason its not activated, we have a full tutorial that will help you get set up.

Don't forget, Windows doesn't have native Bonjour support, so download & install Bonjour Print Services!
(check the tutorial above for a link on where/how to install, you only have to do it once)

So, after you get ping'ing working...try

ping raspberrypi.local

ping raspberrypi.local

Or for ssh, it's also perfectly fine:

Sharing Network Access to Your Pi

On OS X, open theNetwork tab of SystemPreferences.

Select the existing CDC orRNDIS USB connection to your Raspberry Pi by selecting Manually from theConfigure IPv4 menu. Use192.168.2.1 for theIP Address, and255.255.255.0 for theSubnet Mask. ClickApply to save your changes.

Then, open theSharing tab in System Preferences.

Turn onInternet Sharing to share your existing internet connection from Wi-Fi or ethernet with theCDC orRNDIS Raspberry Pi connection.

Edit your /etc/network/interfaces file on your Pi to match the one below.

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.dauto lo usb0iface lo inet loopbackiface eth0 inet manualallow-hotplug wlan0iface wlan0 inet manual    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.confallow-hotplug wlan1iface wlan1 inet manual    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.confallow-hotplug usb0iface usb0 inet manual

The important lines are:

auto lo usb0

auto lo usb0

and also:

allow-hotplug usb0iface usb0 inet manual

allow-hotplug usb0iface usb0 inet manual

Restart your Pi usingsudo reboot, and SSH back in to it using ssh[email protected]. You can then attempt toping google.com.

If using Windows, openNetwork and Sharing Center and click onChange Adapter Settings

Right-Click on your internet connection and selectProperties.

Select theSharing tab. Click the checkbox if it is not already checked. Then click onSelect a private network connection and selectPiZero from the dropdown. 

Restart your Pi usingsudo reboot, and SSH back in to it using ssh[email protected]. You can then attempt toping google.com.
