Hi Chris, your GPS Output means: "Got no fix", try it outdoors und clear sky (the more sky visible, the better). If you're located in a city try it on top of a flat building (don't ask me how to get there ;-) Well, if you want to ping an IP your Moko needs an IP itself. Run a dhcp-Client (udhcpc is installed): > udhcpc eth0 If you're connected to the Internet and have DHCP enabled > ping www.google.com should work now. I recommend using wpa_supplicant to manage you WiFi while there is no good GUI available, look at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wireless_Networking Sebastian-- Sebastian M.
