I have booted Debian Wheezy from SD card on a Beaglebone Black board.
Version: debian-wheezy-7.0.0-armhf-3.8.13-bone20.img.xz, from http://www.armhf.com/index.php/download/
I have set up my /etc/networks/interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.1.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.2
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.8.9
# wireless network interface
#auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
When I ping 8.8.8.8:
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=1 ttl=44 time=32.3 ms

But when I ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
I can also ping other devices on network, but can't access internet.
Any idea what is wrong?
