OK, so I dug an older PI4 out and downloaded HA on the the card. Go past those problems and had HA working. It recognized most of the devices in my home. Kept watching videos on you tube. So I dug out an old SSD and took a few days to get that up and running. So now from my Brave browser I keep getting " This site can’t be reached

homeassistant.local’s DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem.

DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE

I know HA is running because:

I have Verizon 5G modem and Nord VPN. I know there are some issues with the VPN but when I had the PI on the SD I could get it to work by pausing the VPN.

Any thoughts or Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Larry

same response as before
also both PI and PC are hard wired to a LAN

BTW thanks for trying

as a footnote I got fing on my phone. It shows the 192.168.1.251 on the network. I disconnected the PI from the network and it went away. So we do have a good connection to the PI.

Does http://192.168.1.251:4357 give a response ?

This site can’t be reached

homeassistant.local refused to connect.

Try:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Since the supervisor repaired, try

ha core rebuild

Again
