 * Reboot.  When you power up, wait about a minute for the pi's network connection to establish.
 * Provision PI address on router in DCHP reservation.  You should see the pi in the pulldown as a selectable server.

It is also helpful to have access to the WIFI router admin page to verify when the Pi Zero connects and what IP Address is assigned by DHCP. Static IP configuration should be possible, but I was not successful in my attempts to get it working.
