New Build Refusing ssh request

Not my week for issues!

Just loaded buster lite onto new SD Card and added boot file as normal. Installed on a new rpi4 and booted up. rpi boots, resizes and loads waiting for login. So far so good. IP allocated ok, but it will not accept ssh access. All my other pi’s in Ryde’s PD’s ssh fine.

I’ve just prepared another card on a different rpi4, same result.

Done this countless times without issue, so baffled!

Please tell me what I’m missing.

Used instructions and links on GitHub, so correct files installed. Had to use Raspberry Pi imager, as the other imager won’t work on Windows 11. Had no problem with Raspbery Pi imager before either!

Using Putty on Windows.


Thanks in advance.

Just discovered that the latest version of raspberry pi imager doesn’t enable ssh. You have to enable ssh in the settings first. Live and learn.
