@burtoogle Hi
Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes I found the .local meant it disconnected at short random intervals. I change to fixed ip and it connects fine, but as I have put in my reply below to T3P3Tony i am selling the board due to its habit of randomly ramming the hotend into the bed and trashing it and also suddenly changing the offset by 3 - 5mm at random intervals when switched off and on. Its way to buggy for me to use it for anything important.
