hi,

i have installed ubuntu 11.04 omap3* on beagleboard c4. I selected the
ubuntu core server. Every thing went fine but i could not able to
configure ethernet. I am on dynamic address network. Can any please

If I dont misunderstand you, you want to connect the board internet via ethernet port. If yes you can use this configuration

Ethernet: "sudo ifconfig -a" and "sudo dhclient usb1" or "sudo dhclient eth0"


you will see the internet interfaces with ifconfig -a

and one of other comands you will get ip from modem and connect to internet

The problem is the board could not able to find usb* or eth*.

You may need to look at dmesg, udev might rename the interface if you
are using udev

THanks, the board detects the ethernet port. Previously i have
connected the cable without usb powered hub (beagle board rev c4).

But i am behind a proxy network. I have tried giving proper inputs
(proxy login/password details) in apt.conf file, but still the "sudo
apt-get update" could not able to connect because of this proxy.

Can any one tell how to give proxy inputs through command line.

Thanks once again for your reply.
