This happens because your Beagle is running a DHCP server that will provide your computer with an IP address of either 192.168.7.1 or 192.168.6.1, depending on the type of USB network adapter supported by your computer's operating system. Your Beagle will reserve 192.168.7.2 (in Windows) or 192.168.6.2 (in MacOS/Linux) for itself.

If you receive a different output like this:
```bash
192.168.6.2 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.968/4.260/13.891/5.560 ms
```
thus, your BBB most probably is not recognized by your host computer.
**If you have problems by testing the `ping` command, then, try to install a most recent image**
