Hi everyone, My friendly ARM mini2440 is connected to LAN Network which is working fine. But I am not able to browse a website through ARM board.So tell me the steps to Turn On the internet on ARM board mini2440. I am using linux OS.
You need a web browser. I am not aware of a reasonably capable web browser you can run in Linux on the mini2440. I have cross-compile Arora and use a Qt demos/fancybrowser example as a local web browser. But they don't hack it for general web browsing. Good luck!
Hi davef,thanx for immediate responce. I am not even getting reply for command ping "www.google.com".Is there any setting which i need to do to use internet on mini2440. I am new to this stuff so maybe I am asking stupid things,please co-operate.
Try pinging 8.8.8.8 You will need an entry in /etc/resolv.conf for a nameserver
Hi davef, Getting reply for command ping 8.8.8.8
In /etc/resolv.conf there is entry for nameserver.Still facing the same problem.
Is the nameserver in your resolv.conf your local device that is going to do the name translation? You could also search for using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. (I think) as external nameservers
You need a "/etc/nsswitch.conf" to tell the basic C library how to resolve names to IPs. And if you list 'dns' in its 'host' line you also need the "/etc/resolv.conf". And you need the shared libraries from the basic C library installed on your target to do the work (libresolv.so, libnss_compat.so, libnss_dns.so and so on). If you have the "strace" tool available on your target you can monitor your ping command how it tries to convert your "www.google.com" to an IP (and why it fails).
Hi Rohit U once check the DNS of ur /etc/eth0-setting file, the DNS IP should match your router configuration i.e normally routers contain IP addres like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (will be written on ur router box). According to it change the eth0 setting file. Then u can able to access the internet. For any further u can ping me, k.sundeep2007 at gmail
