I am installing PiDog. I used the Imager and the Legacy 32 bits OS as instructed to configure the wifi on the SD card and installed it in the slot as instructed. When trying to ping the raspberrypi.local using Powershell, I get the message that the ping cannot locate the host. I checked several times the name and the network settings but to no avail. I must be missing something,

A problem explained is already half solved. This is what is happening here. I checked my connexions and bingo! It works. 🙂
