And *every* step must be followed and to make the setup *persistent*, some steps need to be added to startup files *and* be done manually. Missing any one step will cause things to stop working or not work at all. > > Might be better to run a network cable connection from the BBB to the > (laptop?

Actually, setting up a Linux machine to act as a router via its Ethernet is a little MORE involved. For starters, you will have to install the DHCPD server and then configure the DHCPD server, plus *ALL* of the "INTERNET CONNECTION SHARING (ICS)" stuff. Oh, unless he also gets an Ethernet Switch, he would want to get a Ethernet cross-over cable. Given that the OP has no access to his router (and yes there is a router somewhere in his living center) and is not really an expert Linux admin, his best option is to just get a USB WiFi dongle and plug that into the USB A host port on the BBB. Also, the BBB will actually run better when powered from the 5V DC coax power jack. > > > -- Robert Heller -- Cell: 413-658-7953 GV: 978-633-5364 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
