Debian :: Direct PC-PC Ethernet Connection?
Aug 19, 2011
So I have been struggling to make this happen for a bit and cannot figure it out. I want to communicate directly from my non-GUI Debian to my Puppy Linux PC. I have set up my Puppy PC for direct connection as per the instructions in the network wizard. I need to set up my Debian to do the same.
I have done the
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
in /etc/network/interfaces.
I still cannot ping the Debian machine from the Puppy one. Are there any other steps to the direct connection? (I already have the crossover cable in place)
I have also tried this with both PCs connected to a Netgear router. I CAN connect to the debian machine if it is on the router at the IP I assigned it and the Puppy PC is configured to use the router.
Is there a file I can edit or a process I can turn off? I think it's close I am just not sure what I am missing.

So I have a GoFlex NAS driver, which according the specs has a theoretical maximum performance of 100 MB [URL] .....
I connected by ehternet to my PC (GNU/Linux, Debian 8 ) to do a backup.
I mounted it with cifs:
Code: Select allmount -t cifs "//goflexhome.local/GoFlex Home Personal" /mnt/gf/per/ -o credentials=/root/gfpass,uid=1000,gid=1000
And then tried rsyncing my home folder.
Code:
Select allDIR=/home
BACKUP_FILE=/mnt/gf/per/bck2016/
FLAGS=" --archive --one-file-system --acls --xattrs --numeric-ids --fake-super --progress --human-readable --ignore-existing --log-file="backup.log" "
FLAGS+=" ${DIRS} ${BACKUP_FILE}"
rsync ${FLAGS}
I then used iptraf to check the performance and I get miserable results (from the PC), even below 1 MB:
total 74.7 kbits
in 30.4 kbits
out 48.5 kbist

I have got a laptop running Debian squeeze. I wish to share the wireless connection of the laptop (wlan0) to the ethernet port of the laptop, so that I can share the wireless connection to my desktop PC which is connected to the ethernet port.
[My desktop PC]---Ethernet---[My laptop]---))) WiFi )))---[Public network/ ISP]
I have read the article on Ubuntu community: [url]
I followed the steps, and the /etc/network/interfaces file on my laptop is:
Now the situation is: My laptop can connect to Internet (i.e. ping debian.org from laptop is fine), my desktop PC can connect to my laptop (i.e. ping 192.168.1.1 from desktop PC is fine). However, the desktop PC cannot reach the Internet.
I also read the information on Debian Wiki: [url]
It seems I must install and configure ebtables before sharing my wireless connection to ethernet port. Is it true? (But why the article on Ubuntu community doesn't mention it?) Or I just made some mistakes?

I've got a Laptop with wireless broadband connection which needs to be connected to a desktop machine so that the internet connection could be shared. Both has got Ubuntu 9.1. I don't have a router or a switch. I just need direct connection with a cross over cable.

I have been experiencing extensive networking problems with 10.04 and I was wondering what options there are for downgrading to a different (hopefully more stable) release. I cannot seem to get a wired connection direct from the modem. I don't know if its just me but I feel an operating system that can't do something simple like this (without extensive terminal codes and file edits etc) is not for me. Here are my system specs:
3.06 GHz E6600 Core 2 Duo
2x2GB GSKILL DDR2
MSI G41M4-F (Realtek Ethernet)
500 GB Seagate 7200
I also have a PCI NIC card Intel PWLA8391GTBLK GIGABIT 1PC I just want to connect to the internet in a hassle free manner. Is there a release of ubuntu that I can "downgrade" to that will make networking hassle free? I have previously used 8.04 on a different machine with no problems. Is downgrading from 10.04 trivial? I currently do not have any important files as this is a new build and file backup is not an issue. Is there anything I should keep in mind or be aware of before downgrading?

How can we force an application which is using a direct Internet connection inherently to connect through a proxy server connection. Like redirecting the direct traffic generated to a proxy server.

I want to set up Ubuntu Server as a firewall in which I want to direct my internet connection through where Ubuntu Server will block, filter, and monitor anything that come into either three of my computers using the same internet connection. Is this easy to do? sum up the steps that I will have to go through to establish this, and any relevant information, and where I might be able to find necessary information etc. I plan to use ubuntu-10.04.2-server-i386.

I would like to have all traffic from the ethernet connection out through the wireless (basically using the box as a router) however I am having some trouble doing this.
I have done this before on Windows however I am having some trouble doing this on linux, I have tried using Squid Proxy however I am having some trouble using configuring/using it.
I am using Yellow Dog Linux however I am willing to change to any other distro as long as it is compatable with PS3 (as this is what im using linux on)

I have recently acquired a HP MSA 2040 san, which they say will work with Red Hat. But I'd much rather use Debian. It's attached to a Gen 9 DL360. I cannot get the OS to see the external drives. I hope it's just me mssing something.
I have told the DL360 to keep the external control in HBA mode, not RAID, not using the hosts RAID intelligence. I think I have set the MSA to offer a couple of disks as a virtual drive. I CAN see the drives in the BIOS boot menu for the DL360, though it doesn't show the virtual voilumes on the MSA, I cannot see the MSA virtual or physical drives once Debian is installed.
I have installed multipath-tools, and the SCSCi utilities.
But no luck seeing the drives.

how exactly would you open a port and point it to an html page, like port 80 does by default?
Example: Port 2985 -> ./var/www/login/index.php

How to change:
(1) My preferred File Management program, the one that kicks off when I use Places? and
(2) The amount of time before the display is put to sleep?
I DO NOT WANT TO USE A GUI FRONT END to do this. The reason is (1) my preferred File Manager, Xfe, is not listed as one of the options by Preferred Applications. And (2) Power Management Preferences allows 10 or 30 minutes before putting the display to sleep but I want 20 minutes. I need to know what files contain these configurations so I can edit them directly.

I installed 10.04 today, and I can't get any connection through the LAN. I've tried some stuff on my own, but I've been unsuccessful so far. It's not a hardware or connection issue, as it works perfectly fine in Windows 7. I haven't had this issue in any previous version of Ubuntu (or any Linux distro for that matter).The weirdest part is I booted from the installation CD as as LiveCD, and everything worked perfectly fine. It only stops working after I actually install it. Here's the results of ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:31:d8:d5:76
inet6 addr: fe80::217:31ff:fed8:d576/64 Scope:Link

I've been trying to get hardware acceleration (Direct Rendering) working on my system without success. I'm not even sure if my card supports DR or not, my searchs haven't turned up a result for this question. I don't know if its the video card, nvidia packages or bad configurations. Any help with the diagnosis?

I just upgraded to 10.04. I had wireless connection for 1 day and now nothing. No ethernet connection either. I CAN use both wireless and ethernet using my machine on Windows.....so the connection stuff does work. Here's the output of of the commands I got from the "sticky". I can't display the output as this forum puts it all together as one continuous sentence with no line break!

I'm trying to set up a shared Internet connection that had been broken by a previous update, I believe. Eth0 is connected to the Internet, whereas eth2 should be the connection going to my Roku set-top box. Under the nm-applet icon, an entry exists for "Auto eth0" for the first card, but there is nothing under the second card except "disconnected". How do I make a connection entry under my eth2 card so that I can share my Internet connection with my Roku box?

I have a 64bits laptop with dual boot (Vista + Ubuntu 9.10) and nVidia chipset. Earlier, I could connect to internet using both the OSs. But now, when I insert the network cable (RJ-45) in the network port, neither of the OSs recognises the network cable. When I click (left click) the network icon in ubuntu (in the right top corner of the desktop), it does not show any available ethernet connection.
I checked in BIOS also there is no mention of network card. Following are the details of the laptop:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:20:06:ac:19
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

I just built my first pc, installed ubuntu 9.10 and tried connecting to the net through my ethernet cable and all that happens is it says cannot find server. Do I need to install network settings & if so what & where,or should it automatically detect them? As this is my first build I am a novice but am willing to listen & learn.

My program is working. However, I would like to add in some features. Let see my code first
Code:
if (returnresult<=0)
{
printf("Connecting....
");
[code]....
When the ethernet network connected, it will go into the else loop at line no. 13. The system will send status and display the status at control panel screen. If at this point, the ethernet disconnected, it will go back to the if loop at line 1. The system will keep trying to connect to the network and keep loop the if loop until it is connected.
Question now is I need the system to test the connection too after going into the operation loop that is start from the line no. 47. If the system went into the for (int c=0;c<cCOL;c++), it will need to do all the operations as indicated by cCOL times before it exit that loop and go into the previous loop.
I need the system to detect connection everytime an operation is going to happen or ended and if there is no connection, it will trying to connect. Before it is connected, it will not continue the operations. I tried to put the function "Connect (szPort, szAddress)" into each loop. Yes, the operation stop everytime the network disconnected. However, it shows on control panel screen "New Connection...." everytime it execute the statement. In fact, the network never disconnected.
I tried to look at the Connect function code, it is as below, I cannot figure out any statement that can stop the appearance of that "New Connection...". It may be hidden at the library source code, it is too hard for a beginner to modify the library code.
Code:
int Connect (char *szPort, char *szAddress)
{
/* Set the remote port */
int port; /* port number */
[code]....

i've just got a new broadband/wireless connection from Virgin Media and am trying to get this very old laptop online. in the past, cable connections have been easy, and wireless has given issues, but this time its the opposite. so, i have a new cable connection that is all plugged in. called customer support, they have no support for linux as usual, but they 'manually activated' the modem and thats all they can do. i am not trying to setup the wireless network yet, i'll do that with a pc later, for now i just want to plug in and go. on Network Settings, i have set the wired connection to dhcp. thats what i've done before ... not sure if i need to get static addresses from the ISP? i can go online now using the erratic but generous neighborhood free wireless.
ifconfig -a gives:
Code:
ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:A4:1E:3E:65
inet addr:192.168.1.66 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I have a Sun server that could be only configured via serial interface. It has one serial port with a RJ 45 connector. Although my laptop has not serial interface. Is there a way to use C-Kermit or any software to establish a serial connection via the ethernet port. It should be some kind of virtual serial port that should transmit the information over the ethernet port, without encapsulating it in ethernet frames.

it is possible to tap off your phone lines with ethernet connectors. As an example. I take a phone jack in the bedroom, I splice off the line of the phone and insert an RJ45 connector along with the phone connector. Hopefully the line will be 4 wire. I can't imagine it would work with only 2 wire. I don't know for sure. Would that work?
My thoughts are the problems with the entire phone line connections. I know the phone line runs out of the house. Would it not work because of that when I attach a switch to it? If anyone has accomplished this or tried to, I would like to know. I'm guessing that the house would have to be pre-wired with CAT-5 because of collisions that can occur.
