Three years old and this tutorial was like the discovery of the Rosetta Stone. Thanks, much appreciated.

Thank you so much! I pulled out my old pi zero v1.3 and really want to mess around with it but didn't know how to set up the shared wifi!

Got lots of precious information right here. I had been trying to browse around on how to hook up pi zero with pc and this is the most thorough steps on how to do it. This the utmost tutorial after five years later. Thank you Circuit basics and Thank you UKposts.👍👍👍

Well done video. I have watched a few on this. audio is clear but even with my volume on my phone cranked up bit hard to hear.

This video saved me from buying HDMI converters and connectors. Thanks for this video. I wish it will work for me without a fight.

Best so far. I seen many video on how to and is a full and complete explanation and steps to follow. thanks great help

Hello, do you know if this works for the Rpi compute module?

very instructive tutorial... Thanks!!!

Can this procedure be used for a desktop system where lan is connected is the steps involved same .Pls let me knowif any changes have to me while config

Great tutorial !

Great tutorial, thanx.

Fantastic tutorial. lowest number of components to up and run raspberry pi zero.

7:51 there is *Boot Options* Can you make video explaining this in detail? I want to boot Pi W with Raspbian from USB Drive.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I got an error that popped up saying "Network Error: Connection Refused" do I have to install a different type of driver? I'm working on Windows 10 Home

I liked that, does it matter whether your computer has gigabit or not ? Just works either way ?

Thank you so much. you just saved the day. :)

also under ssh in putty enable x11 it worked for me so I recommend it

Does it work on the standard (no wifi or bluetooth) pi zero ?

Windows 7 - cannot get this to work. I'm not clear... do I or do I NOT need to have the 'Bonjour' service installed to make this work? I know my image is good - I can use the miniHDMI output and view it boot up to the Raspian desktop. I have tried powering it directly from the laptop (as shown in the video) as well as the suggestion of Francisco (below) to power it remotely first and then plug it in. Either way - I get an entry in my Device Manager|Network Adapters|USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget. Any suggestions??

Could I connect to it with a micro-usb to ethernet adapter. I want to connect the pi-zero to a wired router for mobile internet.How would that work?

Can i use this as a usb storage to ethernet nas adapter?

is there any way to also tell the pi to simultaneously manifest itself as a USB AUDIO SOUND CARD to the Laptop (on top of all your stuff).....so that the pi somehow sends it's own Rasbian sound into the Laptop....and then we hear it?

On Windows 7, the driver is under Microsoft Corporation instead of Microsoft

Can this be done so I can boot my raspberry pi zero with retro Arch and through the shared wifi connection from my laptop be able to update it's software and emulators as if I'm using a raspberry pi zero W

Beautiful tutorial, you are a great teacher, I am using Pi Zero W to control LEDs through internet How can I connect to the internet and make it independent of my Lap Top

how do I use the pi. I want to connect it to my ps2 slim though ethernet and connect the usb hdd to the pi. this is so I can load games faster since the ps2 has slow usb.

On windows 10 so no driver issues. Using latest raspios lite, got "Network error. Connection refused" so put a blank file with no extension in the root of the sd card called "ssh" and it enabled ssh on next boot.

it is a great method......effective and practical

Can this be done on the normal Raspberry pi B+, A, 2, 3?

After getting the ssh section to work on windows 10, i could only share the internet by bridging the connection as opposed to sharing my Ethernet/wireless connection, which did not work.

Worked for me but took some finagling. For some reason even after sharing my computer's wi-fi connection, my pi zero couldn't ping google. Took a few reboots and it did. I think it might have just been taking a bit longer for the connection to get shared. Not a biggie. What did take some sleuthing though was when I was trying to connect to my pi with Remote Desktop Connection. I kept getting "error - problem connecting". I found a solution on stack exchange. I connected to pi via SSH and then typed the following: sudo apt-get remove xrdp sudo apt-get install vnc4server sudo apt-get install xrdp sudo service xrdp restart sudo reboot After that I was able to pull up the desktop for my pi zero! Thanks for the guide and video, huge help! Now I need to see if I can just plug my zero into the USB port on my router and if it will still power up and get an internet connection...

How to headless usb ssh into the pi on kali linux ?? (EVERYTHING is working on windows but I can't get it done on linux)

Nice tutorial. I am win 10 user. Initially zero was detected as COM Port device. Just right click on that COM port device, select Update driver", there select RNDIS and there you go. Thank You!

Very well done. You explained how to do it very clearly. Thanks

I cant seem to get my mac sharing internet to the RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget. It connects with the Pi no problem. But the network is also yellow and says "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet." If I give it an IP and get the RNDIS connected, the Pi no longer connects via ssh.

do you have to use Raspbian jessie

Can you share both WiFi and Ethernet so it will work whichever way you are connected?

Perfect video

Will this work with the rpi3b

oh thanks so much !!

you are the best

Awesome 👍✌

I try to follow the process until the sharing the network and it goes into a blue screen and restart my computer so will this happen when the internet is too slow or wt

Is this method applicable for NOOBS download too?? Instead of using Raspbian Jessie (Raspbian Stretch)??

I did get this working. But do you know a way to pipe the audio from the R-Pi ZW through the USB so it comes out the PC speakers?

This is very cool. Would it work if you connected more than one pi zero to a PC?

So with Internet Sharing, does the Pi Zero end up being NATed behind your PC or bridged? For example would the Pi Zero end up getting an IP Address from your LAN (bridged) or from your PC (NAT)?

great video, but how do you do that from Linux? it always seems that you need to use windows to remote use a linux box!

please give me the link to download desktop app

Hey awesome tutorial, how can i set up my pi zero on mac?

I'm using windows 10. I followed all steps. The device manager does not list RNDIS Ethernet Gadget. Under Ports (com& Lpt) I still have a new USP device connected to COM3. Please advise.

One problem, I Can't find "Remote NDIS Compatible Device" in Windows 10 Pro. Can You help me please?

Great tutorial, you helped me a lot. Thank you for that. However I have one problem. I am trying to connect a pi 1 b+ (through lan) and pi 0 (USB) via ssh, which works great but I only can get the internet sharing for the b+ (ehternet). I dont even have the dropdown to choose the pi zero (ethernet 3). Is it because of windows 10? Anyone has this problem or can share valuable insight? Thank you

pistar linux version no cmdline.txt??? $

after i play with the pi zero is it safe to connect it to a monitor with keyboard/mouse with out any modifications?

Does this work for Raspberry pi 3B ?

PLEASE! Make sure to make a text file called SSH in the boot folder (no extension).

Any idea what to do if the RNDIS Gadget thing doesn't show up in my list of Other Devices in Device Manager? I've installed Bonjour, and still not having any luck.

I successfully followed the instructions until the end. When I log in through remote desktop, though, instead of the raspbian desktop, I get the linux terminal. Why is this? Help?

I am missing the remote NDIS compatible device driver

Hello, Debian Jessi is no longer available, Raspberry Foundation is recommending Debian Buster I have tried with balenaEtcher with no luck. Would anyone help please, Thanks

An issue I found with this is that I couldn't SSH into it, I had to boot it up with a display & Mouse and go into the config settings and enable SSH & VNC. FYI

i get to the stage where i can ping raspberrypi.local, but when I try and ssh with putty i get a connection refused error.

I was unable to get an SSH connection to the Pi-Zero until I created a totally empty "ssh" file in the root directory of the Pi's SD card. Currently having a lot of problems getting the Internet connection sharing configured, so that the Pi can use my normal Ethernet connection to the Internet. From the Pi, my ping attempts always come back with "Temporairly unable to resolve name" no matter what i try. Still working on it...

Whenever I share my network to the Pi, it automaticly disconnects all internet on the PC. Any advice?

Hello i followed all your setup as you did it i get no yellow triangle in device manger and i do see the USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget in the network adapters But i can not ssh into it can you please help me?

Can't get this working on Windows 10 at all. It's coming up in device manager as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I've tried all usb ports, hubs, uninstalled all usb drivers, reinstalled all drivers, rebooted, you name it. Any ideas?

Not working on Linux computer, please find a way to resolve .local adress (Avahi not working).

Liked 👌👍👍

any idea how to do it on mac?

whenever i share my internet connection from my ethernet it wont let me ssh into my pi anymore

when i share the internet connection it doesnt work on the pi when i try to pig it any ideas?

The pi is recognised as a unknown usb device. Also the right driver just isnt there.. Someone got a solution for that problem?

I can SSH in but Windows 10 will no longer share it's internet connection this way, rendering the whole project useless. If someone has a solution, let me know.

For some reason, my Pi Zero is only recognized by Windows if the SD card is unplugged. Does anyone know why this happens?

very good tutorial, but mine was not working, then i installed "bonjure", now i can ssh but xrdp isn't working, working on it.

Where can I get the micro USB to ISB adapter like that. EBay no gopd?!

windows10 does not support remote ndis driver.I am spend a lots of time but not changed. Bonjour is not working.

THe very last part doesn't work for me, when I try to "login to xrdp". It says error - problem connecting. PLEASE HELP

I've hit a wall. I've set my internet adaptor to share but raspberry pi can't access it, even though I'm able to ping the device from CMD.

solutions for mac m1?

cool

XRDP not getting installed bro

How to do this from linux?

I followed all the instructions and when I ssh I cannot connect Network error: Connection refused. I can ping the device. Any ideas would be appreciated

also make a file called shh in the rootfolder one the sd card but don't put a extention!

Network error, connection refused, what to do?

once your in raspi cofig instead of doing that crap he did go into interfacing options and enable vnc server

i need a file sharing server on cheap please help?

when i try to connect with putty it says "Network Error:connection refused" but the device is seen as in the video.

I can't get it working in Debian Linux Buster. I have done everything. This must be a microsoft only feature.

On mac Im getting "ssh: connect to host 192.168.7.1 port 22: Connection refused" Does anyone has any idea whats happening?

I have the same problem... On Windows 10 there is no "Remote NDIS Compatible Device" :/

Does this work with RASPBIAN JESSIE WITH PIXEL?

Worked a half day on this without success. I have a Pi Zero 1.3. I have Bonjour loaded and did an install with NOOBS 2.0.0, Raspian Jessie 9/23/2016, and Raspian Jessie Lite 9/23/2016. I also edited the files mentioned with the text supplied, however, I continue to get an error message at boot of: dwc2 20980000.usb: dwc2_hstog_enqueue_set: failed queue (-11) Have been unable to find any solution. Thoughts anyone?

Wonderful :D

pi zero is real handy........i know that if you run the tinycore os on it.......it's very fast. you can do professional digital audio work on a pi zero..........tinycore os has the tools in it's free apps list tools such as "non mixer" "non timeline" are full DAW tools for professional audio. The free tools support linux vst plugins and windows vst's for audio work. the pi zero is no toy........it can be used for professional purposes when running OS's such as "tinycore linux R Pi" free os.

the device is recognised as a unknown usbdevice and "request for device description failed". And the driver cannot be found, any idea why?

my windows 10 does not recognise the raspberry pi 0 in other devices in stead its recognizing it in usb controllers
