- Pynq Z2
- So, I am trying to setup the board. The ethernet cable seems to not connect directly, and I dont see it as an active connection in my control Panel, I tried to directly connect using the Micro-USB, but whenever I try to open the Terminal Emulator, Putty is not opening the terminal, and giving a sound, teraterm opens a terminal but when I press enter, Nothing shows up.
- So should I change the Pynq Image ? If so where can I find the image(.img) file ? Because I am unable to find the Image on [pynq.io](http://pynq.io), and am going in circles from the pynqdocs and [pynq.io](http://pynq.io)

Hi,  
To get the PYNQ Z2 image folder, did you check the “boards” section of the pynq website ([https://www.pynq.io/](https://www.pynq.io/)) ?

Is your issue similar to this one ( [Computer can not see ethernet connection with board PYNQ-Z2](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/computer-can-not-see-ethernet-connection-with-board-pynq-z2/4173)) ?

Yes yes,  
It is now working, I had the baud rate incorrect.

Note - I am also not able to connect to the board using Ethernet (direct to laptop).

1. How do I trouble shoot this ? (The laptop Ethernet lights are not glowing … )

2. Using the terminal can I still open the Jupiter environment ?

Should I post this as a second query

Is this issue mentionned in your other request ( [Ifconfig giving an error message](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/ifconfig-giving-an-error-message/7589)) ?

Can you use the solution proposed in this previous request ( [Connecting RFSoC to a MacOS computer](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/connecting-rfsoc-to-a-macos-computer/7266)) ?
