How did you solve the problem?

and he is a slice short of a full loaf,

Its OK mate i've sorted it out now, Had not put my callsign into 5100 and selected wrong com port number in software for the PI and DVmega , Must have looked 100 times and missed these setting, Think im getting old and senile.
Thanks for replying catch you on Dstar one day.

My DV Mega has just arrived and I have already come to a dead stop! I do not know how to find its IP address so that I can VNC into it ... it doesn't seem to be attaching to my Wifi (which is secured in any case with WPA2) so what do I do next? I tried plugging an ethernet cable in to the Pi but it seems that the port was not active. If I could telnet into the Pi, then I could at least have look and see what is what ....

Any ideas?

Attach the Ethernet and then either go into your router and find the assigned ip or download an ip scanner and find it that way.

Once you have the ip vnc into the pi and run the wifi tool on the desktop and scan for your wireless network.

Add it and enter your network password and it should connect ok.
