Android Ethernet Problem
#1
Hello everyone, I have some difficulty using Android.
Every time I open my browser(Chorme), it says that I don't connect the Internet.
Then I installed "Android Terminal Emulator" to check whether the ethernet is working well.
But every time on boot, "ifconfig eth0" tells me that it couldn't assign ...
When I use su command to assign a specific IP address to it, it works.
But, what I can do then is only being able to ping through my router, I still can't connect the Internet.
I've also tried on ather OSs like Remix and Ubuntu, but both of them CAN connect the Internet.
Maybe is there anything wrong with the Android system or are there any settings I forget to set?

This is strange, the Remix and Android using same boot image and should have same result. From your description, seems like not getting IP assigned. But why your router to assign IP to Android build, I have no idea. Try to unplug and plug again the ethernet cable after Android build already boot up and check again whether IP can be assigned. The easier way to know is checking the clock status. If this method work, this means your router somehow not able to assigned IP to Android build during boot up.

Excuse me, I don't know what "clock status" means...
I've tried to unplug and plug it again, but it didn't seems to work, and restarting the router is useless as well.
I noticed that the green LED on the ethernet socket is always on, but the yellow one seldom twinkles.
Maybe I forget to say that Remix OS also have some problem at the beginning. I assigned a specific IP to it and it didn't work either. But after I set the DNS server, it was able to connect the Internet. Maybe I also have to set DNS server in Android, but where can I set it?

If Android and Remix have same issue, then my assumption may not be correct.

But the problem of Remix was finally solved, so I think there should also be a method for Android?

This is the part that puzzle us. Frankly speaking, the Ethernet driver on Android and Remix builds are identical.

Yeah, so I think there should also be an effective way setting DNS for Android. Do you have some idea or can you recommend some useful tools about it?

That's a pity. But I just don't wanna give it up, so if there's any progress made, please tell me as soon as possible Smile

I have the 2GB+ board and Ethernet doesn't work on Android or RemixOS. I was told that the GigE card has issues. It does work with Debian, if you give that a shot.
