Hotspot connection SSH / Ping
I have a singleboard computer (Rock 4 SE) with a wifi that is hotspot capable. It is running linux Debian. I want to SSH into it with my laptop using the linux machines own wifi as a hotspot for connection. I created a hotspot on the linux machine, gave it a name and password and started up the hotspot. My laptop (Win 11) is able to locate the hotspot and i can connect to it. I ran ip a to find out the address of the linux machine which turned out to be 10.42.0.1/24. However, when I try to ping the address from my laptop using powershell ping 10.42.0.1 all I get is: PING: transmit failed. Gene
