Hi Richard,
Rather than going to WorkBee.Local have you tried going direct to the IP Address: 192.168.251.2

Hi Richard, this guide is for a V2.3 WorkBee, just want to check, this is the version you have?

Hi, this all works splendidly and I got my Workbee connected first time. However, I think this article should really be entitled “Connecting your Duet to a Windows PC or Mac using Ethernet”. I am looking for an article on how to connect the Duet via Ethernet to a router, so it can be accessed across the local network.
