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. Mario ---

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](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? [https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/v3.0.0/getting\_started/pynq\_z2\_setup.html](https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/v3.0.0/getting_started/pynq_z2_setup.html) ---

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/](http://192.168.2.99:9090/) cannot be reached. How could I fix it? ---
