Arduino Yun Connection and WiFi setup

Hello,
I have searched the forum but so far been unable to find a solution to my setup problems with my YUN. I have had it working previously (a year ago) on a different WiFi network but cant access the YUN to setup the current WiFi network I now have. The YUN is connected via USB and is on Com3. I haven't so far, however been able to upload a sketch getting the following error when I attempt to do so.
'SERIAL_PORT_USBVIRTUAL' was not declared in this scope
This error occurs when I use the built in IDE sketch available under Examples->Bridge. While I can understand what the error is saying I am at a loss how to declare the PORT and as I am using a Built In IDE sketch am pretty sure its not the sketch that is the problem but rather some setting I haven't got right in my setup.
The board info returned is:
BN: Arduino Yún
VID: 2341
PID: 8041
SN: Upload any sketch to obtain it
Sure hope someone can help and no doubt I will feel a bit foolish when the obvious is pointed out me:-)

Of course immediately after posting the above I found a post on the forum that solved my problem. I was using the Arduino Yun WiFi board option. The moment I used the Arduino Yun board it worked perfectly.
Little embarrassment here but again the forum came through with the solution.
Thank you.

Thought I had resolved the issue but now have a new one with the same wifi connection. I uploaded the Sketch YunFirstConfig and followed the prompts giving the ssid and password for my network then completing the name and password fields for the Yun. Got an "all connected to network" message in the monitor and an ip address that appears to me to be outside the range of the IP addresses I have for my WiFi mesh. Tried connecting to the address but couldnt and also can see the green wifi led on the board is not lit so assume there is no wlan connection. I know my ssid and password are correct and that I get the "Connected" message would seem to indicate something has happened. I also get a bunch of text followed by /bin/ash some text and "Not found" then root@"yun Name":/#

Obviously I am still doing something wrong or else the Board has a problem. Hope someone can advise and thanks in advance.
