    * [https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md Installation instructions]
    * [http://blog.gbaman.info/?p=791 Setup for USB connectivity]
+   * Configure your Pi with a fixed MAC address so you don't have to reconfigure windows networking every time you set it up. From [https://gist.github.com/Gadgetoid/319ecf8e3c5d3660e298], add the following to the end of your /boot/cmdline.txt file in your Jessie install:
+
+{{{
+g_ether.dev_addr=5a:77:1e:af:8e:9e g_ether.host_addr=72:8d:1f:c4:e8:ca
+}}}
+
+  Use a unique pair of MAC address for each Pi.  Note there is exactly one space between each term, and the whole cmdline.txt file is one line.  
 * Install bonjour.   This allows your windows machine to 'just know' the hostname raspberrypi.local.  See [https://support.apple.com/downloads/bonjour%2520for%2520windows Bonjour for Windows]
+* Connect your pi to the computer via a USB 2.0 port.   On the Pi use the usb port for data and power, not the one on the end (which is power, no data).
+* Wait a while while the PI boots and your USB drivers for the Pi are installed.  Once the light on the Pi should be solid green after a while and the driver is installed, continue.
 * Set up connection sharing between Windows and the Pi.  
     * Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Adapter Settings.
