Ah mate, I'm a fuckin gobshite. Someone else recommended that I set a static IP in my laptop as well as the pi box, then connect them via ethernet and see what happens..... Well that worked! So perplexed and realising that the problem was now the router, 8 then called my ISP and spent 30 minutes of my life that I'll never get back, doing what the rep asked. I explained to her that I had performed a hard reset on the router 2 days ago (which is when the problem started) so I doubt it's as simple as rebooting the devices. Turns out, I'm the fool that forgot to reboot the damned modem when I reset the router in order to give fresh connection to both. I restarted the modern and router and hey presto, I could connect immediately. I felt like a dope after that, but at least I got the problem solved. Next time, I'll RTFM before I go looking for help 🤣

Hi, I have a T95 mini TV box that had an Allwinner H6 cpu. I know that basically there's no further/current development for these boxes but I think my problem is solvable. Basically I have my armbian os installed and I have internet access, but I can't access the box via any remote access methods like SSH or VNC. I have checked the armbian-config and it says SSH is enabled. I even verified that it's running on port 22 and it's active, but no matter what I try, I can't access it with my laptop running Windows 11. I have set up a static IP address in my router for the box, based off the MAC address, and I even set a static IP in the armbian os itself to mirror the one on the router.... None of it works. Please, somebody help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum but i appreciate you moving to the correct forum. TY

Hi, can anybody tell me if the Armbian release by developer Awawa for the Tanix TX6 tv-box Allwinner H6 will work on mt T95 mini tv box? I'm asking because it works on the T95 max also. I am currently running the Inovato Quadra image on my T95 mini but it has a terribly annoying flaw, in that it changes the MAC address after every reboot, which as you can imagine is infuriating when you're trying to set up SSH/SFTP/VNC. I have a workaround by manually setting the IP address on the box to a static IP then setting up port forwarding in my router to that address but i seem to lose access via the local network yet via my external IP address it works fine. I also read on the Inovato forums that Awawa's image runs on the T95 max and has fixed the random MAC address change so i would love to run it on my T95 mini if at all possible. Both the max and the mini have the same processor and as far as i can tell, the only real difference is that the max model has 4GB or ram as opposed to 2GB on the mini. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't specifically have to be this particular image that i want to run on my T95 mini, i just want any stable image that will run and not change the damn MAC address. TIA
