Hello!

- What package and version are you using ?

(venv) amiga@refracting-reinitialise:~$ uname -a  
Linux refracting-reinitialise 4.9.253-tegra #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 8 23:41:46 PST 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

- Please, describe the issues you are seeing ?

@chris,  
We have been trying to install an example app without avail. When we try to run ./entry.sh, it throws an error message which says we are unable to connect to the internet. It looked similar to the previous post: [No Internet Access on Amiga connected to a Wifi Network - #7 by shrijits](https://discourse.farm-ng.com/t/no-internet-access-on-amiga-connected-to-a-wifi-network/65/7).

How should we proceed?

hostname: refracting-reinitialise  
IP address: 10.40.1.123

Thank you!

Hello Pamodya,

Unfortunately I do not see the machine online at this moment but should have a method to “self-service” the fix this weekend or be able to schedule a time to fix the issue.

@ppeiris if you could post the output of `host google.com` and `ping 8.8.8.8` that might be helpful. Also can you paste the output of `ifconfig`.

If it can ping 8.8.8.8 but not resolve [google.com](http://google.com) you can try the following work around until a proper fix is available.

ssh to the amiga and run the following command.

```auto
echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
host google.com # should print some ip addresses

```

@ppeiris  
While on wifi and once SSH’d into the amiga, try the following command.

```auto
curl -v 100.85.53.61:8192/dns

```

Once this returns an array with a status of “ok”, power cycle the amiga brain (or whole amiga) to allow the system to pick up the correct DNS hosts.

This is needed only once.

Are there other items you may need assistance with?
