I am having a problem getting a wireless network connection on my DELL laptop running CentOS 5. I have no problem getting a wireless connection when the laptop is booted in Windows XP. I also don't have a problem when booted under CentOS 5 and there is no authentication setup on the wireless router. I only have a problem when I setup authentication. The router wireless log shows the PC connectinng, authenticating, and succeeding authentication.I am using the Broadcom Hybrid-wl wireless driver.
I am attempting to get this network card running under CentOS 5.2 but have had no luck. Some sites say to use the sk98lin driver, others the skge, which I can't find at all. I have tried multiple versions of the driver in rpm but none seem to work. The card shows under the network manager but will not get an IP address from the DHCP server.
Here are the outputs for this card. uname -rmi 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 x86_64 x86_64 lspci -m 04:01.0 "Ethernet controller" "D-Link System Inc" "DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11)" -r11 "D-Link System Inc" "DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11)" lspci -n | grep "$(/sbin/lspci | awk '/net/ { print $1 }')" 04:01.0 0200: 1186:4b01 (rev 11) lspci -vv 04:01.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11) (rev 11) Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 64 (5750ns min, 7750ns max), Cache Line Size: 32 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 121 Region 0: Memory at febfc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Region 1: I/O ports at e800 [size=256] Expansion ROM at e0000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=1 PME- Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data
How to get this working as we have 3 of these cards for computers without a Gb NIC and I don't want to fight with it 3 separate times.
I am a developer, not a network admin - sorry if this ia dumb question. I need to test an application on CentOS 55 64 bit. The instalation went fine and initially I let DHCP work its magic. The router IP address ia 192.168.0.1 and all other VM's I have are granted dynamic ip address on this range (i.e. 192.168.0.x). However, the CentOS vm got an IP address that looks like it belongs on a different subnet :192.168.1.1
The VM (vmware desktop) network setting for this VM uses "Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network". I can ping the host (Windows 7 64 bit) and the host can ping it (it been the VM) - but no other computer on the network can see it. To make things easier, I changed the network configuration to use a static IP address. Here are my configuration files:
I installed the Centos 5.5 and after the Xen. After I put a virtual machine named VM01.Initially it worked properly, I tried everything and it worked.When rebooted, I had problems with the network.I have two network cards eth0 and eth1, but eth1 does not have any ip and I use only eth0.The error that appears is:
vif0.0: received packet with own address the source address
I have a home WiFi network that has been working fine for ages, which currently supports two Windows-based laptops and a WM5 smartphone. They all connect to the WiFi router (Linksys WRT54G) which in turn connects to the ADSL modem (Huawei MT882). The router is configured with a WEP key, the SSID is not being broadcast, and all MAC addresses must be whitelisted. I try to follow good wireless network security practice. I also have NAT running between the router and the modem.
Everything is working fine for the Windows clients, and now I am trying to add my Linux box to the mix. I am setting up an older HP Pavilion 510a desktop with Ubuntu v8.04LTS, using a Realtek RTL8185 WLAN card. The machine has an onboard RTL8139 LAN adaptor also, which works fine when I plug it in directly to an ethernet port on the wireless router. The WLAN, however, does not seem to be getting a DHCP packet, and keeps on autoconfiguring with a 169.254.x.x address. When I try giving it a static IP address it doesn't connect either.
As you can see from the screenshots below, the WLAN is working fine. I have it installed using the ndiswrapper and Windows drivers. I've been through the Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide but that did not resolve my problem.
I configured the network myself, and it works perfectly for my Windows machines. It is just my lack of experience with Linux which is preventing me from getting the wireless to work under Linux. I can get a HDCP packet in Linux when I am connected to the LAN using the RTL8139 adaptor, but not on the WLAN using the RTL8185 adaptor.
I installed PCLOS 2010.07 into my laptop and dual booting with windows vista. Now I got a weird problem that is when I connected linux to my wifi router, it cannot obtain IP! (it still work correctly in windows, problem just with linux) I had to manually set ip and that worked. Now i wonder what is happening, because I didn't see this problem with PCLOS 2009 borrowed from my friend few months ago.
I have router and wireless card Linksys. Driver are installed correctly for wireless card.
Using WifiRadar I can see the access point is detected.
DHCP woks perfectly for wired lan.
However when I try to connect to the detected access point the ip addres is never retrieved and the connection never established.
I tried most of he basic instructions posted on ubuntu forums, but the problem doesn't seem to be with basic configuration: driver, essid, wep key, etc..
The problem seems to be with DHCP not able to retrieve an IP address from the DHCP server of the router. Of course the router works file with other laptops (windows based) that have wireless card.
I also tried the Network Connections setup part of ubuntu. That one shows the access point by its essid name in the list of wireless network, but when I try to connect it takes sometime and eventually asks for the wep key, which I provide and then it times out and keep asking it. The same wep key works for other pcs. Can't figure it out. I am using ubuntu 9.10.
Some more details are the following:
1) Here the output from the log file: /var/log/wifi-radar.log
Of course it is set ... and dhcp client works for wired lan anyway.
2) diego@mysuperlaptop:/var/run$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [sudo] password for diego:
I tried everything I could think about in the UI windows setting (WifiRadar and Wireless Network Connections) a well in the config files from the shell. I just don't get what the deal is. I am pretty sure it is a DHCP issue but can't figure out what.
Linksys router and an acer aspire one. I have updated to the 9.10 netbook remix and the laptop associates with the router but will not pickup dhcp. If I specify an address then the machine looks like its connected but will not go to a website. I manually inserted dns but still nothing. So I updated to linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic Still will not use DHCP , I to am using ethernet at the moment. It was working before the update.
I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1525. Wireless internet is not working. I installed wicd network manager and I am able to see the available wireless networks. My wireless connection is encrypted. I have tried all encrypted options with the key but no avail. It says "Cannot obtain an IP address" after validating authentication.
I am puzzled with trying to configure a linux (openSUSE) client to dhcp to eBox DHCP server. I am using dhclient to lease an IP address with dhclient eth0 -s 10.45.48.108 and get a response
openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 10.45.48.108 port 67 interval 4 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 10.45.48.108 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 10.45.48.108 port 67 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: send_packet: Network is unreachable openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: send_packet: please consult README file regarding broadcast address.
The server reports eBox141 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0c:29:3e:57:a3 (openSUSE11232CL1.domain.net) via eth0 eBox141 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.45.200.2 to 00:0c:29:3e:57:a3 (openSUSE11232CL1.domain.net) via eth0
I interpret this as the server receives the request and the client accepting it but the lease does not last long and the connection breaks. what this could be and why the connection breaks? Or my undestanding is totally wrong on how it works and should work? And BTW, where is that README file that's referenced in the message I receive on the client?
But i can under an alternate profile. Running ubuntu 10.04 and cannot seem to pin point the problem. When I was doing some looking into it, it appeared that the wpa-supplicant.conf wasn't where the man page indicated it should be. ie /etc/, but then it wouldn't or shouldn't work for the other profile either, right? i tried to post this before but i couldn't find it anywhere.
I am having a persistent problem with getting a wired network connection under a recent install of Ubuntu 9.10. The network manager will show the wired network as 'disconnected' after a restart. This is true whether I am connected directly to my ISP's modem, or through the Linksys router that I usually use.The output of ifconfig suggests that eth0 is not being assigned an IP address:Code:I have reached the limits of my own ingenuity.
I believe I have the wireless card installed properly and wicd sees the router. When I try to connect I get an error "can not obtain IP address" Output from iwcongif and lspci is.
dillan@dillan-desktop:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and I recently changed certain settings of my router. After that ubuntu isnt able to obtain IP address from this wifi network. I've tried to connect with win 7 and OS X and both of the OSes are able to connect to the same wifi network. I tried to connect ubuntu to another wifi network at school and it connected successfully.
I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (64 Bit) and I'm trying my best to get this Linksys WMP300N wireless adapter to work.I have searched and gone through a number of threads here with some level of progress but I still can not get this to work.Adapter info is BCM43XG [14e4:4329] rev 01I have installed driver bcmwl5.inf using ndiswrapper and ndisgtk.I had absolutely no success trying to use network manager applet so uninstalled it and went with Wicd instead which at least sees my SSID network with a strong signal.My network is encrypted using WPA and I entered the passphrase which seems to pass authentication but it keeps trying to get an IP address until finally it just tosses a failed message.I feel as though I'm really close but it just won't connect.
iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
I have an existing home network with fixed ip's. I'd like to connect a "dish network" HDTV box into the network but it can't use fixed ip's. So is it possible to use one of my computers and setup a DHCP subnetwork?
Version 10.04 LTS. Installed desktop version and network worked but I needed a static IP address and the install configures for a DHCP configured address. I tried changing to static address using the System->Preferences->Network Connections application but was unable to get the system to come up with the network up.
So I manually modified the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. I restart the system but when I do an ifconfig, I don't see a configured IP address on eth0 (only the loopback address). If I run /sbin/ifup eth0 everything then works fine and ifconfig shows the correct address bound to eth0.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm having problems trying to assign it a static IP address. No matter what I put in the Preferences->Networking area (identifying the interface as Manual)... it still will query DHCP for an address if I run the dhclient command. I'm using to using ubuntu server where I just set the IP in the interfaces config file.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and for a while I had no problems connecting to the internet through the wireless network. But recently, my wireless connection started disconnecting regularly. Following an advice I found online, I installed linux-backports-modules-karmic, but after a reboot the wireless device stopped working altogether - it had lost its driver. Since then I managed to associate the device with Broadcom's STA driver, which I had been using before. But now, the wireless device cannot connect to the internet anymore. The network manager's output to /var/log/syslog indicates that the device cannot obtain an IP address. When I run code...
Assume I installed originally CentOS Desktop with IP receiving from DHCP server.Later I decided to assign a fixed IP to the local CentOS installation.How do I switch (permanently) the dynamic DHCP IP assignment to a fixed IP?
I have installed Centos 5 on a virtual machine (esx4i). I set it to obtain an IP address from the DHCP sever, which is a broadband router, it has been given an IP address of 10.10.11.159 the router is 10.10.11.1 but I can't ping the router and I can't get any access to the network! I have a SCO Openserver server on the same physical box and it works fine so I know the network card & cable is ok.
The IP address acquisition problem I reported earlier has returned, and I am stymied. To recap: Ubuntu 9.10 would not obtain an IP address via a wired Ethernet connection. I resolved the problem at the time by configuring eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
and disabling Network Manager in Preferences > Startup Applications.After a powering down the PC today, the problem has returned. It appears that dhclient cannot obtain an IP address. This is true whether I am connected to the router (a Linksys WRT54G running Tomato), or directly to the DSL modem. When my usually wireless Ubuntu 9.10 laptop is wired to the router, it obtains an address almost instantly. I have made no changes to the network configuration since January. I have tried to keep current on Ubuntu updates.
Code:
jgb@alienware:~$ ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:1b:ac:5b:9e inet6 addr: fe80::230:1bff:feac:5b9e/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T61 using an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. My laptop's ability to connect to a wireless network stopped last night, and I'm not sure why. It's definitely something on my end, as my roommate can connect to the internet on a Windows box. I can wire in without a problem, but that's a pain and my Ethernet cable got lost in the shuffle when I moved back to school. I've been able to get into this network before and nothing about it has changed. I've been able to hibernate and restart and such and nothing has ever needed to be reset.
The router's a D-Link WBR-2310. Wicd and Network Manager see the network (I'm back to using wicd) , but wicd appears to get stuck at "Obtaining IP address..." and says "Unable to connect: Cannot obtain IP address". I know my password is correct (I set up the router and I'm the CS undergrad in the apartment so I manage it), lspci sees the wireless card, ifconfig and iwconfig return information about the interface, dmesg|grep wlan0 doesn't seem to have anything terribly out of the ordinary, but here's that output:
Code: allyanncah@taliesin:~% dmesg | grep wlan0 [ 23.514202] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 36.609016] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 38.756143] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:24:01:cb:4e:7e (try 1) [ 38.758791] wlan0: direct probe responded [ 38.758796] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:24:01:cb:4e:7e (try 1) [ 38.760587] wlan0: authenticated [ 38.760609] wlan0: associate with AP 00:24:01:cb:4e:7e (try 1) [ 38.763318] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:24:01:cb:4e:7e (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) [ 38.763322] wlan0: associated [ 38.765502] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready .....
I've tried: - reinstalling wicd - uninstalling wicd and installing network-manager - restarting - shutting down and booting back up - restarting the router - sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - taking the interface down and back up with ifconfig
I haven't changed anything recently in regards to my wireless card, and all the fixes I've tried are things I've done before without an issue. The only thing I'm wondering about is if doing a hard reset might have broken something (I know this is a cardinal sin, but there's a whole 'nother problem I haven't been able to fix with the OS hanging every once in a while over a VPN daemon when it tries to shut down or restart -- I've left it for hours to see if it actually gets anywhere and no luck, won't do a soft reset). I'm nervous about reinstalling the driver just because I've never had to do it and drivers are a finicky business. I imagine there's a config error somewhere?
using the LDAP as storage of hostnames/IPs/MACs for the DHCP server on CentOS.Also once the IP is allocated via DHCP to the hosts,it would be useful to insert such host into the DNS. (BIND? dnsmasq?)I've found this link [URL] which deals with a patch for the ISC DHCP package, but I don't think this is actually up-to-date.
I have Centos 5 installed on a PC in the local network. I have installed the RPM dhcpv6-client-1.0.10-16.el5.i386.rpm on this PC to configure it as DHCP V6 client. The RPM was installed successfully, and I have done modifications to the following files:
1. /etc/sysconfig/network, set the networking to yes. 2. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 set the BOOTPROTO=DHCP.
Now the problem is when I start the client on this pc as dhclient, it throws the following errors, and logs out after some time. All the network configurations were lost and the PC gets disconnected from the network.

I decided to take the plunge and change the existing static ip configuration for my home network to a dynamic (DHCP) configuration. The DHCP server in this new network config is my gt701-wg actiontec DSL modem.
I'm trying to make a DHCP server work on my CentOS 5.4 box, but I have placed it on another subnet than the one that it is going to serve. I use a helper address on my router to make the the DHCP requests being routed to the DHCP server on the other subnet.
I am having several boxex with centos on it. No pb. I have recently setup a new box with centos 5.4 and I am not able to get the network working on it when configuring a static ip.I've configured eth0 and dns using "setup": unsuccessfulI've used the network config GUI: unsuccessfulAnd it is working very well when I let the dhcp getting the setting.I need a static IP.Here is the getinfo output when static ip setup, and below it, the getinfo for dhcp setting
