I just got a new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. I am trying to get it set up. I have followed the instructions here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... -pi-imager
I checked the "Enable SSH" box under services and made sure my wifi SSID and Password are correct during the OS customization.
After the Pi is plugged in and the power LED is solid (not blinking), I try to ssh into the hostname that I set up:.
On a mac, nothing happens. I don't get any error or any prompts for a password. It just acts as if it is trying to connect.
On Windows, using Putty, I get a "Host does not exist" error.
If try to I get a "ping: cannot resolve myhostname.local: Unknown host" error.
Is there a step missing from the documentation? What's the best way to fix the issue? I don't have the cables to connect a monitor or keyboard to the pi, so I need to be able to connect headless.
