Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab, ...)
Octoprint 0.16
Leapfrog creatr dual
Wired connection
I want the server to automatically give an address to the printer
Hi @Rafael_Brunet,
if you have a HDMI monitor/TV, connect it to the Pi and restart again. At the end of the start sequence, you should given your actual IP address. Like this:
I have connected on nothing appears in that area except http://octopi.local, which doesn't work.
Note: I'm on my school network which is why i can't have a static address
I'll be sending the ifconfig Saturday.
I'm now running an untouched 0.16 version.
Keep in mind that depending on how restrictive your school's network is setup, it might not allow unknown devices to connect to it and you'll first need to register your Pi's MAC with your network administrator (if they even allow it on their network).

Yes it is wired. One LED is red and steady. One is green and flahing at first and then stops.
How can i make the dhcp issue an IP address.
Well, yes... there are two LEDs on that end of the Pi. The red one means "power", the one next to it means "activity". Turn it around and look under the RJ45 jack. The link light is on the left side and the Ethernet activity light is on the right. You're looking for a link light here which means that you're physically connected to an Ethernet hub and the hub has allowed you to link in.
It doesn't mean that the DHCP server likes you. The link light just means that you've taken the first step to get there. As foosel mentioned, in some cases you need I.T. to bless your computer by adding its Ethernet MAC address (B8:27:EB:40:39:8C) into their server.
When the DHCP server has issued you an IP address, the word RUNNING will show up in that first line of flags.
