Thanks very much for the suggestions. Let me clarify just a couple things.

On my Win 7 machine, my version of Mathematica is 10.0.2.0. I'm not aware of a newer version. I know the IP address I am using is correct as I separately login to the RPi with it via ssh. I am NEVER prompted to enter a password. Instead I get the error I posted earlier in a popup dialog after a pause of about 10 seconds. Again that is:

SSH's connection for kernel 'Raspberry Pi' was unexpectedly terminated. Error code = 103.

My kernel configuration options looks like the following.

The main difference I see is that mine has an additional advanced option for shell command.

I should also point out that I assume my actions on the Win 7 machine will launch mathematica on the RPi. If this is not the case, please let me know the options the "wolfram" command needs on the RPi.

Thanks again Cliff

Bob, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, swapping out the Wolfram ssh with the Cygwin version appears to be getting a little deeper than my knowledge of Mathematic enables me to go. I'll just get by with the RPi notebook interface remoted to my Win 7 machine via X for awhile and revisit this when the next upgrade to Mathematica comes along.
