I was recently attempting to connect my beaglebone to the network/internet by sharing my mac's internet connection over usb. I following the steps (seen in another beagleboard groups.google post):
> 1. Install Mac drivers from - http://beagleboard.org/Getting%20Started > 2. Connect BBB to Mac through USB > 3. On Mac, System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing > Beaglebone > Black > 4. System Preferences > Network, make sure BBB is in the left hand side > and shows “Connected” > 5. After SSH’ing into the BBB, run “dhclient”,and then try “ping > google.com”. And I was actually successful at first. I restarted the beaglebone to see if the condition would persist without running dhclient. It didn't. Then I saw that some other tutorials alternatively suggest that I enter the following command on the beaglebone: /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1 Thinking that I might learn something, or be able to undo this if something goes wrong I went ahead and tried it. Nothing really happened, and a ping to google.com didn't work. so I went and tried running "dhclient" again, but now my beaglebone freezes up, and becomes totally unresponsive till I reset it of disconnect/reconnect it! Nothing I have tried seems to fix this, and I can't find any info to understand what might be causing this problem. Any ideas what I might have to do to fix this? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
