Hello, I wanted to try some projects on pynq-z2. So, tried cloning some one of the github repos : **[GitHub - PaiPai121/Defocus-Image-Deblurring-Based-on-PYNQ](https://github.com/PaiPai121/Defocus-Image-Deblurring-Based-on-PYNQ)** But, it throws the following error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/pynq1/original/2X/0/0e67c9710d6e8b268d1e64ebf59e073caa1cd6ba.png) Can anyone help? ---

This is not a pip error as shown in the initial line. The error is either one of the two things: 1. The package is too big for the current memory on pynq-z2. (512MB DRAM on the current board) 2. The internet is not connected on your board (try the command ping [www.google.com](http://www.google.com) for clarity on whether the internet is working or not.) ---

Hi, The error `Could not resolve host : github.com` would indicate that your board is not connected to the Internet as @abdyoyo suggests. Mario ---

Thanks @abdyoyo and @marioruiz for replying. As you said, board is not connected to internet. So, can you help me with that. I have tried different things but nothing worked. My computer is connected to internet through wifi and to board through ethernet cable. Please suggest. ---

Have you tried the pynq board with another system/PC? The issue might be from the PC end, initializing the ethernet config/initial conditions. Can you just share the ipconfig cli output from PC and from the pynq OS? ---

> My computer is connected to internet through wifi and to board through ethernet cable. Please suggest. Your board is not connected to the internet. You only have a direct connection to your PC. Can you connect your board to a port on your router using the Ethernet cable? You then need to find the new (DHCP assigned) IP address of your board and browse to it instead of [http://192.168.2.99](http://192.168.2.99). You can find the IP address in a few ways. You may be able to use the _hostname_ of your board [http://pynq](http://pynq) You may be able to `ping pynq` from your PC. You can connect a USB terminal to your board and run `ip a` You can log in to your router and find the IP address of the board. Cathal Cathal ---

thanks for replying @cathalmccabe > [@cathalmccabe](#): > > Can you connect your board to a port on your router using the Ethernet cable? I am using my college’s LAN which needs authentication after connection. So, it won’t be possible for me to connect board through ethernet cable. Is there any other method? ---

What type of authentication? For connecting to the network, you can think of the PYNQ-Z2 board as a Linux (Ubuntu based) computer. If you can authenticate a Linux machine on the LAN then you should be able to do the same with the PYNQ-Z1 board. You could try google on Ubuntu forums for how to do this. If you find a solution, it would be great if you can post the solution back here. Cathal ---

We can authenticate through GUI on linux but not through terminal. Is there any other way or running internet on pynq-z2 directly through the computer or using wifi dongle? note: I am also struggling to use usb wifi ([Pynq-z2 cannot connect to internet through USB wifi](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/pynq-z2-cannot-connect-to-internet-through-usb-wifi/3338)) Any suggestions? ---

What type of authentication? You can usually work around these issue, but you are not providing enough information for me to help further. Another option: With the Ethernet cable you connected directly to your PC, and your PC connected to the internet, you can “bridge” the connection to the board with your internet connection. This is a little complicated, so not something I usually recommend doing. If you have a good understanding of networking, you can search how to do this for your PC’s OS. Cathal ---
