So I just got a Yun. Downloaded and installed the software from the Arduino site (Yes the proper version using Microsoft). Connected my Yun with a micro-USB and clicked on networks. There it was so I clicked on it. I couldn't connect using "arduino.local" but could connect using " 192.168.240.1". Got into the "configuration" screen and changed the name and added a password as well as changed the timezone. Changed the wireless parameters to my home wireless network and added the password.
Clicked on "Configure & Restart" and it just sat there thinking about it. Never restarted. Had to shut it down. So now the blue LED for the WLAN will flash for 20 seconds and then remain off for like 1 minute. Then repeats the flashing.
Now, I connect the Yun with the mini-USB and it isn't seen in networks. I have used the reset buttons (Yes all 3) Pushed the one by the LEDs and analog connection point. That one I just push once. Not hold or anything. Just push. I get the white LED to light up as long as I am pushing the button. I understand this has nothing to do with network configuration.
I push the reset button for the WiFi that is by the USB-A connection. I have also pushed it for approximately 15 seconds. I have also pushed it for longer than 30 seconds which I read that it resets the network settings like I just took it out of the box. I do this and after 30 seconds.
The WLAN blue LED will continue to flash approximately every minute for approximately 20 seconds. Not sure why its doing this.
I can't get connected through the network anymore. Any help on how to get connected??? Thanks in advance!
First to get connected do this:
Load the YunSerialTerminal sketch under File->Examples->Bridge in the Arduino IDE to the Yun over the USB connection.
Open the Serial Monitor, press enter you should get a nice banner and a command prompt that looks like:
Enter the inet addr (192.168.2.204 in the example above) in the wlan0 section in your web browser, you should get the Arduino Yun Configuration page.
If that went well then if you are in Windows you probably need the Bonjour software from Apple to use the arduino.local address see this: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=189081.msg1416764#msg1416764
Once this is installed you should be able to use arudino.local instead of the 192.168.x.xxx for the url.
First off, thank you both for your response. BUT... so far no success as of yet. I will detail exactly what I am doing following the instruction that you guys posted.
My Yun is powered up with a mini-USB as well as I have connected the USB port to a USB port on my computer.
So I open up the Arduino IDE. I click on File-> Examples-> Bridge-> YunSerialTerminal. This opens up what looks like another Arduino IDE that has a tab that reads "YunSerialTerminal".
The following procedures I am not sure that I am performing correctly.
I click on the circle with an arrow in it (below "Edit"). When hovered over it says "upload". When the upload is finished I then close the "YunSerialTerminal" window and open up the "Serial Monitor" by pressing control, shift, and the M at the same time.
I get a banner page but its completely un-populated. No command prompt at all. If I leave the banner page open, after a few minutes it will begin to populate with messages but nothing like the example that you have left for me.

Am I doing this correctly?...
I think no, but you are not very clear here in your description.
The micro-USB (there is no "mini"-USB on a Yun), is used to both power the Yun as well as connecting it to your PC. That way it will be seen in your Arduino IDE with the associated COM port.
The "other" USB port of the Yun (the standard Type A connector) is only a host port, in order to connect devices to (and power from) the Yun.
Well yes. I always understood the "mini-USB" powers and connects to the PC. That is why connecting the "USB" (as it wasn't clear in the suggestive help that it was not the type-A) was confusing to me. I thought what does that have to do with the wifi? But tried it connected just the same. Can't hurt...
So since that is clear with the connections, it is still not successful...
I know this was previously asked... but do have bonjour installed? I made the mistake of not having it installed when I first got my yun and ran into all sorts of issues.
Well, as we watched the Serial Monitor we discovered that the Yun was resetting continuously . Sent the board back, got the new one and everything is operating as it should now...
