I'm sorry to hear about your USB-Ethernet adapter dying. I have used a couple of different USB-Ethernet adapters on my Beaglebone-derived device - some are very stable and some drop out after a few hours or days, but a reset always brings them back online. Perhaps you should get a different one. BTW, I'm a little confused - if you have a BeagleBone Black (as the topic states), why can't you use the built-in Ethernet port? Anyway, Internet connection sharing is a fragile operation as there are many things which need to go right for it to work. If your ping and ssh go through but DNS doesn't, it might be that TCP and ICMP work, but UDP doesn't. You can do some experiments using simple tools like telnet and netcat, but this doesn't really concern the BeagleBone any more. -- Kind regards, Tarmo -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
