I recently bought the BBB to play around with. But when I try to access it via the PUTTY application, it says network unreachable. But the same setup works absolutely fine on my laptop as well as my friend’s desktop. It’s only my system that is having this issue. I tried all possible workarounds but it is not working. Can someone please suggest me any proper way to solve this? All drivers are installed according to the beaglebone official pages.
Using windows 7 this issue is persistent, whereas the BBB is getting connected when I try via Ubuntu.

Are you doing this via Ethernet or via USB? That is, is the BBB connected to
the LAN with a CAT5 or 6 cable or is the BBB connected to the MS-Windows 7
system via a USB cable?
Note: if the latter, it will use a *different* network for MS-Windows than for
Linux. One is 192.168.7.<mumble> and the other is 192.168.6.<mumble> (I don't
recall off the top of my head which is which).
Also, if connected by the LAN it is probably not going to be
192.168.7.<mumble> or 192.168.6.<mumble>, but something else (eg whatever the
LAN's DHCP server gave out).

OK, I just tested this with my BBB. Under Linux, the BBB shows up as both
192.168.7.2 and 192.168.6.2 and both work under Linux. I believe only one will
work under MS-Windows, but I don't know which and I don't have a MS-Windows
machine to check it on (all of my machines run Linux).
