Hello, I’m not sure that your device is properly connected to the internet. Running `ping 127.0.0.1` wont show this as that is pinging the local hosts. Can you share the output of the command `ip a`? All the best, Shane ---

Hi @frankwu1218, If you ping 127.0.0.1 you are pinging [localhost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost). So, you are pinging the board itself. This should always work. Your board is connected to the laptop, this not gives internet access to the board automatically. You should create a **network bridge** on your computer. There are some tutorials on the Internet about this for different OSes. The easiest solution is to connect the board to your router directly, if you have access to one, or using a WiFi dongle. Hope this helps. Mario ---

Have you resolved this?
