You mean the USB port? With address 192.168.7.1? No that does not work either. As I said, my laptop picks up the device and I can see the "BeagleBone Getting Started" drive, and I can ping 192.168.7.1. But I can’t sign on with Putty – I get “Network error: Connection refused” before I even get to the sign-on prompt.
Unless there is some other serial port I am not aware of?

That should work as long as you still know the password. No network links involved. ---Graham == On Saturday, September 19, 2020 at 6:30:17 AM UTC-5 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> wrote: Hi I'm a Linux blockhead. I just got a BeagleBone Black. I'm working with it from a Windows10 computer using Putty and WinSCP. In trying to set a static eth0 IP, (successful) and getting it to use 8.8.8.8 as DNS, I managed to lock myself out of it completely. (Long story, involving adding and deleting things in files, adjusting write permissions in folders, removing connman and so forth). So now I cannot log in to the BBB with any profile. Not it's default 192.168.7.1 through USB, or anything else which worked previously. (I had deleted the ethernet static IP previously anyway).. I get: Network error: Connection refused I did not make a backup of whatever it had on it's eMMC beforehand. So: Putty does not work with any IP address WinSCP does not work with any IP address The Browser interface does not work with any IP address I can ping 192.168.7.1 With the BBB plugged into a USB port, I have access to the "BeagleBone Getting Started" drive in Windows File Explorer. So naturally I'm trying to get the thing working again. So would this work? I buy some sort of "USB to microSD" device. Something like this: <https://media.takealot.com/covers_images/71f4c8bba6e04ef8869d73e26b8427bb/s-pdpxl.file> I download some Ubuntu image from somewhere onto my Windows laptop. (I decided that I might as well go to UBUNTU rather than the Debian it has, while I'm at it). I write this image out to the microSD through USB. I stick the microSD into the BBB and push some button to get it booting from the microSD. So once I get it working again, I can transfer the UBUNTU image from the microSD to the eMMC.
