Which OS? How are you connected? Have you gone into Yast and set up the net/DNS?

I am using Minicom and open sue to connect the board. I didnt setup any DNS server in Open suse machine instead i added only the GatewayIP to my machine in terminal. its working fine.

K . i will setup the DNS server in Open suse(server machine). Let we know.

please help me regarding this issue.

Thanks and Regards,

I have find out the root cause of the problem.

The problem raise because of the DNS nameserver is not initialized in minicom.

This sounds like i havn't specified the ISP dns. You need to do that as a numeric, that is, in my case, 204.123.37.23 - try adding the line:

nameserver 111.111.111.11

to your /etc/resolv.conf file where 111.111.111.11 is the proper string for your dns.

Now its working perfectly.

Thanks and Regards,
