So, when I plug the NANO to the pc using the Y cable, it does not get an IP automatically assigned (that is, the 172.16.42...). I assign it manually using ifconfig up and it works, I can access the server using my browser. However, after restarting the NANO, it's all over again and I have to assign the IP in order to access.
The NANO is receiving enough voltage and I have already restored the firmware using the tool available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
