[beagleboard] Not Impressed - Network Issues

2014-02-06 Thread hacktorious 
So far after spending 4 days trying to get my BBB connected to the internet 
I still have not had any success.  Shouldn't I just be able to plug in my 
network cable, turn the BBB on and have internet access as I would on any 
other device?  I plugged in my RPi and it immediately obtained an ip 
address and had internet access.  

Why on earth is my BBB obtaining an ip from an external source when 
connected via eth0???

Internally dhcp is distributing 192.168 something, but the BBB is getting 
169. something.  I'm not able to get internet access from the BBB, but if I 
visit the ip address I can see my BBB's website WTF?  This is 
total insanity!!! 

Any suggestions

It's not. It's providing it's own address. You likely want it to get an
address from an external source - the DHCP server on your router..

169.254.x.x are IPv4 link-local autoconfigured addresses. i.e. the BBB 
didn't get a DHCP response and picked a random 169.254.x.x address itself 
instead.
It should still broadcast for DHCP, so if your DHCP server ever starts 
handing out addresses it should pick one up and start working.

See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3927 for an explanation of IPv4 link local 
addresses.

To me that seems like something that is being done by the usb connection.
Is it possible the usb is disrupting the cat5 connection?

I do hope that's not the same issue, everything I find with that subject is two 
years old and on a different board.

It shouldn't. The USB RNDIS gadget interface and the actual RJ45 ethernet 
interface are totally seperate. There's no reason for them to conflict.

As with anything else, there could be a bug or misconfiguration causing it.

My suggestion would be to get a proper serial console connected to J1, don't
connect anything to USB/P4. Connect to your network via the RJ45 connector 
only. That should eliminate any possible conflict.

If you still have problems then you need to do all the normal things like 
verifying the network cable works, that your router is handing out IP 
addresses via DHCP etc.

If all else fails, it might be worth trying one of Robert Nelsons Debian images.

Re: [beagleboard] Not Impressed - Network Issues

2014-02-12 Thread Scott Force 
I tried searching for that error message quickly and only found it in 
regards to WIFI which usually meant the person was using the wrong WIFI 
driver or some setup issue.

1. When this happens is anything plugged into the USB port on your BBB?

2. Is your BBB connected to a computer ... I seem to remember seeing a post 
about having either the eth0 plugged in or hooking up to a computer but not 
both.

3. The only other thought is to check the bootup messages and see what eth0 
related messages pop up.

Re: [beagleboard] Not Impressed - Network Issues

Yeah, I've noticed that recent Angstrom builds have been missing an 
interfaces file, but if you create a proper one, networking comes up with 
no problems. A simple version of that file is this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
