        @darkside1305 could be a lot of things going on like your network but have you enabled SSH?

          @darkside1305 from https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/SSH

          "Starting with RetroPie 4.2, in order to keep the default image secure, SSH is disabled by default. It can be enabled in either of the two ways listed below.

          1. Pre-boot. From a system with an SD-card reader, access the /boot/ directory and create an empty file called ssh

          2. In raspi-config: after booting."
