Problem Description
I am unable to connect my PYNQ-Z2 board to the internet. My laptop is connected to Wi-Fi, and I am connecting the board via an Ethernet cable. Despite trying several methods to connect, I am still unable to get internet access on the board. This issue is preventing me from making further progress on my project.

  2. Ensure the laptop is connected to Wi-Fi.
  3. Attempt to access the internet on the PYNQ-Z2 board.

Hi @OsamaRahmani,

This is expected, the board is not connected directly to the Internet. The easiest solution, would be for you to connect the board directly to a router.

Alternatively, you can search how to do network bridge on your operating system.

I assign the static IP address 192.168.2.1, 255.255.255.0 then I bridge the connection between the wifi and ethernet but then the bridged connection does not work, “unidentified network” so then i diagnose the connection and the result is “Network bridge does not have a valid IP address”
Sometimes the network bridge does work and I am connected to the internet but then I cannot load the page http://192.168.2.99:9090
another result is that while trying to bridge "An unexpected error occurred while configuring the network bridge.

So the problem is I cannot get to the jupyter notebook login.

I have attempted to connect the Realtek RTL8188FTV WiFi Adapter to the PYNQ-Z2 board, but the connection consistently fails

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Osama Rahmani

Hi,
Can you access the router of your Internet connection? If so, can you try physically connecting the board and this router via an eternet cable?
Is it a personnal or professionnal wifi?

Did you check this website?

Hi,

I tried to do the network bridge with my ubuntu system but it didn¡t work. It looks like the http://192.168.2.99:9090/ cannot be reached.

How could I fix it?

I have set the static IP in my ubuntu, in the netplan file. Then reboot the laptop and try to access the server. But I cannot access the server yet
