Hi ALL,

I am having DM6446 board. I am trying to connect internet via this board. In this i am having some issues regarding this .

Issue

Normally in terminal  when i ping to particular site , i will use the following command

>> ping www.google.com

I will get proper response with the packets details.

When i am trying the same thing in minicom terminal i am not getting anything even the proper error messages.  If i use the same ping command in different way 

>> ping 209.85.231.10(ip of google.com)

i am getting proper respone. i dont know why the DNS name is not resolving in the board.

Friends, Is there any documentation is avaliable to do the internet connectivity with this board?

I am braking my head for past three months. Please help me friends.

    I have find out the root cause of the problem.

    The problem raise because of the DNS nameserver is not initialized in minicom.

    Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

    This sounds like i havn't specified the ISP dns. You need to do that  as a numeric, that is, in my case, 204.123.37.23 - try adding the line:

    nameserver    111.111.111.11

    to your /etc/resolv.conf file where 111.111.111.11 is the proper string for your dns.

    Now its working perfectly.

    Thanks and Regards,
