do you have a DHCP server on your network ? where is the BBB getting its address from
if you set up a static address for the BBB you also need to setup the place where the BBB looks for name resolution in the file /etc/interface/interfaces it should look like this if you have a static ip setup # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.254.205 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.254.254 in the file /etc/resolv.conf your name server needs to be there normally its your gateway nameserver 192.168.254.254 but it can be googles name servers or a name server of your choice On 5/2/2015 8:01 AM, Mehreen Qayas wrote: > > It is connected through Ethernet cable only.
