You'll also need to configure your host to bridge the USB Ethernet interface created by the BeagleBoard with your host's Ethernet interface. Otherwise you've got two completely separate Ethernet segments and traffic will not pass from one to the other. /etc/network/interfaces is where the IP addresses are configured. There's two there, one on 192.168.6.2 the other on 192.168.7.2, I think some platforms only support one of the interfaces, but Linux may see either (or both). Alternatively, you might consider routing: - edit /etc/network/interfaces on the BeagleBoard to make your host (at 192.168.6.1) the default gateway - enable IP forwarding on your host - configure your packet filter to permit traffic to/from the BeagleBoard - configure your network's default gateway to send traffic destined for 192.168.6.2 to your host (so it can forward it over USB to the BeagleBoard). -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
