Hi, I see; so you’ve got a BeagleBone Wireless or similar, and the actual aim is to get the wireless working. In that case, you can do all this from the command line, and no need to add routes. I wrote up some beginner steps here: https://www.element14.com/community/community/designcenter/single-board-computers/blog/2019/08/11/getting-started-with-beaglebone-black
There’s a section ‘Connecting to a Wireless Network’, it won’t entail you needing to use HDMI. However I didn’t understand this bit: “. I need to use the screen of my laptop as the screen for the BBB wifi when I am away from home”. Ordinarily, applications that require remote operation or access, can be used with a web browser, or some other method, (say) configuration via command line, using SSH. If you’re referring to a ‘remote desktop’, while that’s possible, it is antiquated. Also, it’s not good to open up ports on your home firewall. Better to find alternative ways so that there’s no need for unusual solution topologies.

I considered this before but there is no icon to configure the network setting under Debian. Somebody mentioned that I need to go through this to set up an internet connection for the BBB via usb connection to a PC. After setting up the wifi connection successfully for BBB wireless, I can then use it as a standalone controller that can connect to the internet via a PC. Eventually, I will need the BBB wireless to be able to connect to public wifi network. Besides, I don't have access to an external HDMI monitor outside home. I need to use the screen of my laptop as the screen for the BBB wifi when I am away from home. . 2019年9月5日木曜日 23時27分23秒 UTC-4 shabaz: Hi! Personally I’d suggest there’s no need to waste time on this activity to add routes in windows. Just disconnect your BBB and connect it directly via Ethernet to your switch/router (and of course power via a 5V DC supply with barrel plug). Although it’s technically possible to run your BBB like a dongle hanging off the end of the PC’s USB socket, it’s a waste of time investigating your PC operating system and any firewall settings, when you could instead be using your BBB.

I am able to ping 192.168.7.2. I am also able to set up a new password for root and then sudo root. Now, problem with connection to google.com<http://google.com>. root@beaglebone:/home/Debian# ping www.google.com<http://www.google.com> ping: www.google.com<http://www.google.com>: Temporary failure in name resolution [In the video, it shows a different system respond: "ping: unknown host www.google.com<http://www.google.com>". Do I have to worry?] I typed "/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1" and then "ping 8.8.8.8", I got only: PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. and the system hung rather than printing a list of 64 bytes from 8.8.8: .... time=41.4 ms" until I type control C. Could you please let me know how 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.
