Hi,

  Thankyou for your reply.I checked the instructions but it couldnt solve my issue.I want to make the vmplayer ip to static ip.So I can get a constant ip every time vmplayer restarted.How can I make the vmplayer ip static?

This is really a UBUNTU networking question, if you run into problems
past these instructions you should try the Ubuntu forums.

Your VM is getting its IP from your network's DHCP server right now.
You need to know the ranges it assigns to devices, and pick one that
won't conflict for your static BBB address.

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

For the primary interface, which is usually eth0, you will see these
lines right now:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

As you can see, it’s using DHCP. We are going to change dhcp to
static, and then there are a number of options that should be added
below it. Obviously you’d customize this to your network.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

Now we’ll need to add in the DNS settings by editing the resolv.conf
file:

sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf

On the line ‘name server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ replace the x with the IP of
your name server. (You can do ifconfig /all to find out what they
are)

You need to also remove the dhcp client for this to stick (thanks to
Peter for noticing). You might need to remove dhcp-client3 instead.

sudo apt-get remove dhcp-client

Now we’ll just need to restart the networking components:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


Now config and reboot BBB

sudo bbb-conf --setip xx.xx.xx.xx to set bbb up for static ip, and
restart.
