 You'll see at new network has appear, '''eth4''' in my case. The IP address is '''192.168.7.1'''.  There's a good chance the Bone is at '''192.168.7.''2'''''.  Try connecting to it.

 You are now logged into the Bone through the network.  This is much faster than the serial port (.115M vs. 100M) and supports many interesting network things.  The only problem is, the Beagle doesn't know how to access the Internet through the host. Get back to the host computer by entering RETURN ~ ^Z.  That is, hit RETURN, then ~ (it's up there near the ESC key) and then Ctrl-Z.  This gets you back to your host, but leaves the ssh connection running.

Users with an Ubuntu 12.04 host may see this issue because the resolv.conf that Ubuntu uses (and is copied to the Bone in the host.ipForward.sh script) is not compatible with the Bone. The solution is to run the host.ipForward script as normal, then add the line "nameserver 8.8.8.8" above the existing entry in resolv.conf. This configures the Bone to use [https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/ Google's Public DNS Server].''

 Install the SD card (not the one that says Linux SDK on it) and attach the Bone to a host computer via the USB cable. The little USB connector goes to the Beagle in the connector on the bottom of the board near the Ethernet connector. Connect the large end of the USB cable to a host computer. The host can be either Linux, Mac, or Windows (though if you are doing development, consider running Linux on the host.)  I give instructions for each.
