Did not help me though, lost in a sea of words now. One puzzle is that the date shown in the log was 15th May. This is a backup SD card I have just put in the Pi and I am now wondering the date must be wrong. I had expected it would have corrected date and time. However the WiFi works OK with WiFi config displaying normally. Another puzzle is that it gave the Pi as 192.168.1.95 Changing this to a static address of 192.168.1.90 has not worked, it still comes up as 192.168.1.95 Here is interfaces file auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.90 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.254 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf iface default inet dhcp I did not think the last 4 lines should be there but cut them stops things working.
