Hi,

You shouldn't need to touch your home router config to be able to connect from 
your BBB to external hosts (but check you can ping the same hosts using your PC 
too). Nearly all ISP provided routers will be set up correctly. Opening up 
ports from the internet is not recommended.
Your wireless connection is good since you can ping your home router. Not sure 
why the router isn't forwarding packets. A traceroute may help, but beyond that 
I don't know what the issue is.
Regarding work network, that's a different kettle of fish. Your work network 
may have security at layer 2. In other words, you'd need to confirm with your 
IT team if they will allow an unsupported device on the network. Packets from 
unauthorized devices may be silently dropped depending on how secure your work 
network is.

Subject: [beagleboard] Re: How to connect to wifi network at home?

Hi, from now on, should I turn of or enable the two Inbound Rules "File and 
Printing Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)? Currently, they are off as it is 
stated that it is not good to open firewall of home network.


 I tried: ifconfig -a and the output is a long list of things. As my laptop is 
connected to home wifi router, I am listing the output for the wifi adapter.



wlan0: flags=-28605<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC>  mtu 1500

Pinging my own home wifi router's IP address is working. A list of 64 bytes 
from ... is shown.
