Plugged mini computer to router, ethernet cable, can't find device in panel, nor see anything on start.local

Title says it all. Can’t find the device, even though orange and green lights in ethernet port on mini computer are intermittent (showing it’s receiving/sending packages (?)). Any pointers appreciated.

I assume this is a computer you built yourself and installed StartOS on.

While you’ll get lights on the ethernet port, you won’t get an IP address assigned and visible on the router’s connected devices screen until an operating system has booted past a certain point.

You might be forced to connect a monitor or TV to this computer to see where it’s getting stuck.

Roger that. I’ll work on sourcing some cheap screen and keyboard perhaps and circle back as soon as possible. Thanks!
