RatOS - No network connection available

Verified working RPi 4 B 4gb. Verified working SD cards, SD readers. Have tried downloading the image multiple times, even using different browsers. Using Balena as requested by RatOS docs, produces an error during the verification process every time, regardless of download, SD card, SD reader, etc. Using Pi Imager does not produce errors. Again, regardless of SD card, SD reader, or download, once I boot up the PI, the OS will not allow it to connect via the wired connection. I can connect to the hotspot via my phone and computer AND laptop, how ever, i can NOT connect to http://ratos.local/configure or http://192.168.50.1/configure on all three devices I attempted. Using the same SD cards, I can load the current version of Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit, and it connects to my network via the LAN card just fine.

Solution:
yeah, you will NEVER be able to connect on your LAN to http://192.168.50.1/configure , that is the hotspot sub-network

are you sure you downloaded the raspberry pi image and not the CB1 image?

positive i was told by somone that the 1.18 version (i endup getting 1.18.4) was the only version(s) compatable. Once i downgraded i stopped getting failures and was able to login via the hotspot and hit "skip" to get the LAN active. Its a VERY odd choice for them to disable the LAN in the OS as default.

it isn't disabled

It was on mine. Until I was able to log into the hotspot and hit skip it would not connect to my network via the LAN card. Read my original post.
