I have my BBB connected to a ADSL modem/router in bridged mode, so BBB gets directly an external IP. But sometimes, actually many times an hour, it doens't respond to any protocol: I have tried pinging, ssh and http-request but nothing reaches BBB (connection timeout). However, I have set a crontab for dynamic dns service to update external IP of BBB with 15 min interval, when BBB tells its IP to the dyndns-service (I am 100 % sure that the IP address hasn't been changed during the 15 minutes period, so connection should work). After this I am able to connect again to the BBB.
The connection seems to "freeze" many times between dyndns-updates. In an hour there are four updates, and the conncetion loss occurs 0-4 times during that time. What makes this a mystery is that there are no error logs in the BBB about connections. Its ethernet connector LED's are on, but not blinking when I try to connect during the loss. I have tried 2 Linux distributions, Arch and Debian Wheezy, and the problem exists with both. I don't know if this is a software or hardware issue. Sadly, I am not able to connect a screen, mouse or keyboard to the BBB so I can't "look under the hood" during the problem. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
