Ethernet

[JaysonJacobThom]

Hi

Does anyone know how to connect to the internet via Ethernet?

Hardware: iMX53 QSB

Software: Kernel ver: 2.6.35.3

               Android ver: 2.3.3

I've tried typing netcfg into the serial console & get the following ouput (only relevant part shown):

lo         UP    127.0.0.1       255.0.0.0       0x00000049
eth0     UP    10.150.224.243  255.255.0.0     0x00001043

When I open a browser & try to access a website, I get the error: Web page not available.

I've enabled Settings->Wireless & networks ->Ethernet - & it shows that its connected.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem...

Many thanks

Jayson

Hey Eric,

Thanks, i got it working.

I looked for the right DNS server IP address using 'getprop' :)

Hi Jayson,

Do you know what your DNS server address(es) should be? My example was just a guess.

I also thought 'getprop net.eth0' would show you all of the net.eth0.x variables,

but apparently not. If you run 'getprop' by itself, you can scan the list, or you can

use an ADB connection to allow you to grep on your development machine:

     adb shell getprop | grep net.eth0

Regards,

Eric

Hey Eric,

Thanks for your reply.

I still couldn't get it to work - here's the output:

Have I made any mistakes?

Thanks,

Hi Jason,

Try 'setprop net.dns1 10.150.224.1' to configure your Domain Name Server.

Take a look at the output of 'getprop net.eth0' for the appropriate value.

At least in R10.1, the scripts in /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks were setting the

property net.eth0.dns1-4 instead of net.dns1-4.
