How can I solve a Jetson Nano network setting issue?

Hello everyone!!
I’m an undergraduate student majoring in Semiconductor Engineering in South Korea.

Recently, I’ve developed a strong interest in AI, and I was fortunate to enroll in an AI platform lab course offered at my university.
Over the past two months, I’ve explored many Jetson-based projects and realized how incredible and meaningful your work in this community is. I truly respect and admire your efforts.

Now, onto the issue:
I tried to connect my Jetson Nano to a desktop monitor installed in my university library (used primarily for web browsing) via HDMI.
While everything boots up and the GUI appears normally, I’m having persistent network issues — which is odd because the same Jetson setup worked perfectly fine in the engineering department’s lab.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  1. Automatic (DHCP) mode:
    → I get a message saying “No Internet Connection.”

  2. Manual network setup (with correctly entered IP, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS):
    → It first shows “Unable to resolve DNS,”
    → Then changes to “Unable to resolve IP address” after around 5 seconds.

I’ve checked ip a, ip route, and /etc/resolv.conf, and also attempted manual DNS entries and flushing the DNS cache.
Unfortunately, ChatGPT didn’t quite get me all the way this time 😢

If anyone has experienced a similar issue — especially when using Jetson Nano in school environments without a typical home router — I would deeply appreciate any tips or insights you could share.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi,
The default developer kit with standard Jetpack should be connected to LAN(local area network) automatically after booting. Probably the hardware part is physically. For Jetson Nano, the latest release is Jetpack 4.6.6:

Jetson Linux R32.7.6 | NVIDIA Developer

You may re-flash the latest version for a try. If the issue persists, it is very likely a hardware issue.
