Let&#8217;s see how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In the terminal, type the command &#8220;ip a&#8221;.

It&#8217;s a convenient solution to quickly find the Raspberry Pi.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a computer on Windows, I recommend using a free tool, named &#8220;Advanced IP Scanner&#8221; that can scan an entire network or just a portion of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interface is very intuitive, and it might be useful for other projects.<br>The screenshot below gives you an idea of it, and you can download it on their <a data-lasso-id=\"2659\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advanced-ip-scanner.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"884\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ip-scan-windows.jpg\" alt=\"advanced ip scanner for windows\" class=\"wp-image-17104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ip-scan-windows.jpg 884w, https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ip-scan-windows-300x97.jpg 300w, https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ip-scan-windows-768x249.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, you set a range of IPs (keep the default value if you don&#8217;t know this range), and it will try to ping each of them. If there is an answer, it will give you the host name, IP address and a few other information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my screenshot, you can see the Raspberry Pi on the second line, with the IP 192.168.0.32. I don&#8217;t even have to do anything on the Raspberry Pi, and if SSH or <a href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/use-vnc-raspberry-pi\/\">VNC is enabled<\/a>, I can directly access it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: If you keep <a href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/set-new-hostname-raspberry-pi\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the default hostname value<\/a> when you use Raspberry Pi Imager (in the advanced options, <a href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/raspberry-pi-imager-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11264\">as explained here<\/a>), it will be &#8220;raspberrypi&#8221;.

It can help with some systems where the previous tools are not available, but it&#8217;s not as efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ping is a popular tool to test if an IP address answers (and therefore if it&#8217;s connected to the network)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a lesser-known option that allows you to ping your entire network, and collect responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will get the list of used IP addresses and can find which one corresponds to your Raspberry Pi.<br>Do this command and wait:<br><code>ping -b 192.168.1.255<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you only have a few devices connected, it might help to narrow down the list of possible IP addresses, but it&#8217;s not magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read the Raspberry Pi IP Address On Your Router Interface<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In most cases, the DHCP server for a home network is managed by the Internet router. And most of the time, there is a web interface, where you can see a list of all the devices connected to it, with their IP address.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a router like that, with access to this interface, that might be a great option to consider. No command required, nothing to install, and no need to have a display on the Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue is that there are many different routers, from different brands, so I can&#8217;t give you detailed instructions. You&#8217;ll have to check your router&#8217;s instructions to know exactly how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an example, if I access mine, I get something like that on the default page:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/livebox-pi-address.jpg\" alt=\"router interface to find ip address\" class=\"wp-image-20141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/livebox-pi-address.jpg 475w, https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/livebox-pi-address-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not the best interface, but I can quickly see which devices are connected, with their IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Set a Static IP on Raspberry Pi (LAN or WLAN)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ok, so this time we managed to find the Raspberry Pi on the network, but it would be better to <strong>set a static IP address<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By doing this, you won&#8217;t have to do the same thing each time you start or Raspberry Pi, it will automatically get the same IP address, all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can even configure it on your router, so the Raspberry Pi always gets the same IP, even on a fresh new installation.

There is a difference between the local IP address and the public IP address (your router&#8217;s IP on the Internet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To access your Raspberry Pi remotely (over the Internet), you need to set up port forwarding from your public address to the Raspberry Pi. This can generally be done on your router. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/install-no-ip-raspberry-pi\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6277\" target=\"_blank\">More details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to connect to the Raspberry Pi once I know its IP address?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can connect to a Raspberry Pi <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/ssh-password-raspberry-pi\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"145\" target=\"_blank\">with SSH<\/a> or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/remote-desktop-raspberry-pi\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"323\" target=\"_blank\">a remote access tool like VNC <\/a>once you know its IP address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on the links to learn more about these solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to find the public IP address of my Raspberry Pi?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public address is generally the same for all devices on your local network, it&#8217;s defined on your Internet router. You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/webinpact.com\/ip-address\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a tool like this one<\/a> to find it from your computer or Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want it to redirect to your Raspberry Pi local IP address (the one I talk about in this article), you&#8217;ll need to enable port forwarding or some kind of NAT on your router. I explain this in more details <a href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/install-no-ip-raspberry-pi\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6277\">in this other article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I access my Raspberry Pi from my router?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Routers will generally list all the devices connected to it, so you can use this interface to find the current IP address of a Raspberry Pi. But, most of the time, routers don&#8217;t have remote access features. Use a computer to <a href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/remote-desktop-raspberry-pi\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"323\">remote access the Raspberry Pi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make Raspberry Pi visible on network?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raspberry Pi are visible on the network by default. If you can detect it, make sure <a href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/raspberry-pi-wifi-setup\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2677\">the Wi-Fi is enabled<\/a> and configured or <a href=\"https:\/\/raspberrytips.com\/connect-ethernet-raspberry-pi\/\">an Ethernet cable is plugged to your network<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plug a monitor and check the interface directly on the Raspberry Pi screen to troubleshooting this issue. It can be that the system hasn&#8217;t boot already, or is stuck somewhere during the boot process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it!
