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
