Hi
I have a BeagleBone Black with a huge Problem
I i flashed the image Debian 9.5 2018-10-07 4GB SD IoT
I have one PC in Network 192.168.144.xxx Gateway 192.168.144.254
The Beaglebone is in network 192.168.143.xxx Gateway 192.168.143.254

<https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-9.5-iot-armhf-2018-10-07-4gb.img.xz>I have one PC in Network 192.168.144.xxx Gateway 192.168.144.254

Just a question: In the old days, 192.168.144.* and 192.168.143.* were
considered to be totally independent Class C networks. You'd need a router
(acting as a gateway) somewhere to cross from one to the other (but...
since the 192.168.*.* range is considered local/private networks, routers
normally do /not/ route them to other local/private nets).
The rest of my comments are musings, since I'm not fully acquainted
with the idiosyncrasies of setting up networks. All my devices use DHCP --
and if an IP needs to be "fixed" that is done in the DHCP router, which is
configured to always provide the same IP # to a host via MAC address (or
hostname -- not sure what that uVerse/Arris router uses).
# The primary network interface
# auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.143.207
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.143.254
And here your netmask emphasizes that 192.168.144.* and 192.168.143.*
are separate networks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't ping the BeagleBone from the PC. It is possible to ping the Gateway
in 192.168.143.xxx from PC and Beaglebone.
What IS this gateway machine? Is it configured to route between the two
networks? What does ITS routing table look like?
(see section II, subsection #5)
After booting the BeagleBone, the "route" command shows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
default 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

192.168.143.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two default routes!?!?!?!?! WHY?If i restart the network service, the first default route disappears and i
can successfully ping the Beaglebone from the PC in the 192.168.144 network.
What did i wrong?
Out of curiosity, what does ifconfig show for the eth0 (before and
after your restart of the network)
The use of a static IP could possibly be conflicting with a router
trying to assign a DHCP IP? Or there is some config file defining routes
that you need to modify which is being processed during a cold boot, but
not during a network restart.
Is this a typo? should be ‘wifi on’
#connmanctl> tether wifi off
The ‘auto eth0’ should not be commented out, unless you are not using a connected ethernet cable
iface eth0 inet static
Also, I don’t see a ‘wlan0’ in your ‘route’ output, are your trying to connect via wifi or usb0?
more info might help
I’m using an Edimax wifi dongle and connected Ethernet cable, the image is the same that you posted
For ‘route’ this is what I get
debian@beaglebone:~$ route
Kernel IP routing table

The OP stated "BeagleBone Black" -- the base BBB does not have WiFi
The 'auto eth0' should not be commented out, unless you are not using a
connected ethernet cable
# auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
And my BBB shows:
debian@beaglebone:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# Example to keep MAC address between reboots
#hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE
IE: both lines for eth0 are commented out -- works fine with a DHCP router
(which is why I'm suspicious of setting a static mode in the file; like
something is set up before the file is processed)
debian@beaglebone:~$ ifconfig

Under stood, but why is he using connmanctl for eth0?

So far as I can tell, he isn't... All the connmanctl lines in his file
are COMMENTS. And exist as such in my stock install too.
