Step 1: Requirements
- software:-
- Raspbian imageâ934mb
- Puttyâ484kb
- DHCP Serverâ100kb
- Xmingâ-2.2mb
- Sd card formatterâ6mb
- Windows Disk Imagerâ12mb
- hardware:-
- A Raspberry Pi Model A/B/B+
- An Ethernet cable
- USB power cord
- PC with an Ethernet adapter (here iâm using windows 8 )
- SD card 8Gb with Adapter
Step 2: Preparing SD card
Download the SD formatter (link provided in step 1)
Place SD card in card reader and connect it to your PC.Open SD formatter , choose the SD card location and format it (before formatting make sure you choose format size adjustment ON in options).
Download the image file of the Raspbian (zip file)
Download and open Windows Disk imager then choose the raspbian image file (extract the zip file) and click write.It takes some time (keep calm and watch the progress bar).
Congrats!!! you have successfully done with the SD card ,now move forward to see ,how to boot the raspberry pi.
Step 3: Time to power up your raspberry pi !
Insert your SD card in the adapter and place it in the SD card slot of the PI.
Power up the raspberry pi with power cord. (make sure red led PWR in PI glows).
now get read to connect the PI with ethernet cable.
Step 4: Ethernet connection to PI !!
connect the pi with ethernet cable.
Setting Static IP address for Raspberry PI
open controlpanel > network and sharing center > change adapter settings >ethernet (it will be Local area network in win7)
properties of ethernet > choose the manual ip
change the ip and subnet mask as below .
ip: 192.168.1.1 (usually IP address of pi is 192.168.X.Y)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
check the ip config (you can skip this section):-
open cmd prompt and type âipconfiigâ and verify the ipv4 in ethernet section
double check the connection by pinging the network
type ping 192.168.1.1 in cmd prompt
Step 5: Creating server in PC
download dhcpsrv2.4
Refer the images for clear understanding.
Open âdhcpwizâ, choose the ethernet and click next (donât change any supported protocols).
Change the ip-pool range from 192.168.1.100 to 110 ,click the write INI file and tick the âoverwrite the existing fileâ
check that the status of service is running and firewall exceptions is configured , if not check the admin option.
Finally tick the ârun DHCP server immediatelyâ option and click finish.
Now open âdhcpsrvâ and click the âContinuous as tray appâ (you can see the app running in the taskbar).
If raspberry pi is powered , disconnect the power connection and power up it again.
Wait till âassigning ip address 192.168.1.100 to client b8.xx-xx-xx-xx-xx â notification is displayed near the tray icon of the taskbar.
If you see the above statement , 85% of your job is complete âŠcheers!!!
