I’ve been following the instructions in the Getting Started guide, and have managed to switch on the device and read its CON port just fine. However, I’m unable to connect to the device on 192.168.2.2.

`ping 192.168.2.2` just drops packets and `ssh root@192.168.2.2` times out.

Please advise.

What is your host system? Windows systems need the ECM driver installed. If it’s Linux, no driver needed.

What does “ifconfig” on the mangOH console say?

Host system is Debian based. the network LED is showing yellow. `ifconfig` output is below:

How is this supposed to behave when it’s working? I guess I’m connecting to a network, so should I be seeing an ethernet connection in my system tray? Any advice on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
