I have two computers, running Debian Lenny 5.0.3, suddenly they cannot access the Debian depositories and even when typed debian.org, the site does not come up! I used another hard disk with a different distro and one of the computers, and it did access the debian site. Any reason for this?
View 3 RepliesI have installed debian to run Squid cache as a caching proxy.
Ive been bashing away now for 2 days and i have managed to install squid (i first tried manually, but that did not work so i used synaptic software packager to install it (from Administration menu)
That went well, thereafter i installed webamin to work with squid in a GUI
I have managed to start squid and added my range of IP addresses to the ACL list
I have added the proxy restriction too.
Now, i tried to test it.
I opened Iceweasel Web browser (on the same machine) and setit to use the Proxy server: localhost and port:3128
That works fine.
But when i try to change the proxy setting to my machines ip (where squid is installed) :
Proxy server: 10.0.0.35 and port:3128
That does not work.
Am i missing something, please help
I then tried to set another windows PC on the network to:
Proxy server: 10.0.0.35 and port:3128
That also does not work.
I also edited the conf file to http_access allow all, but i do not know if i have doen it correctly, but maybe there is another problem?
I have an NFS on my desktop, and mount it from my laptop: 192.168.1.22:/mnt/max/share /mnt/reddevil_nfs nfs rsize=8192,wsize=9182,timeo=9 Occasionally, access to the files suddenly "freezes". For example, if I try to run "ls /mnt" from the client, nothing will be printed, Ctrl-c does nothing, and the prompt never reappears; or, if I try to view that directory from thunar, thunar will freeze, or if I am playing a video from the share in mplayer, mplayer will freeze. I tried to unmount it:
umount -f /mnt/reddevil_nfs
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount.nfs: /mnt/reddevil_nfs: device is busy
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount.nfs: /mnt/reddevil_nfs: device is busy
Today I changed my home router's security setting from WPA to WPA2, and my openSUSE 11.4 Tumbleweed system's network stopped working.It is very strange, because it can connect to the wireless no problem and it gets ip address and everything, but I cannot access any websites. I tried to revert the router setting back to WPA, but still the same.Funny thing is I can actually open the router admin page.
Even I plugged the wired lan cable to my laptop, but still the same. It connects, but no internet.Where should I look? My the other laptop with openSUSE 11.4 connects to the same router without any problem.
I am interested in sharing an external drive between two computers. I do not want to disconnect the drive from one and then connect it on the other one - I want to share it.
Would this work with an external USB drive and a normal USB hub? Or is it something more complicated/impossible?
Also connecting the machines via network is not possible - it has to be USB, or I can connect it to one machine also via Ethernet but the second connection has to be USB.
my main computer hostname is home, and the others are ubuntu and eduardo.In home, I try to configure samba, downloading it with "sudo apt-get install samba" and then downloading at the synaptic manager the samba-common-bin thing.I shared my folders as ROOT in home and I cannot access from ubuntu and eduardo.Then I googled and I found this site: Quote:URL]Well... I follow all steps and I can't access these files.What I need to do to share files between these computers???

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe problem started happening a few days ago. Only my linux computers are affected. Yup, that's right. My roommates running windows have zero problems.
What's the problem? Suddenly, I cannot access 2 websites: namely facebook and netflix. I just get a "waiting for facebook.com" status from my browser, and it waits there patiently until the browser finally gives up. I haven't found any other sites that give me this issue. Gmail, ....., flickr, etc all work fine.
This happens using both firefox and chrome browsers. I've tried using Ubuntu 10.10 (on my desktop) and Peppermint (distro based on ubuntu, runs on my laptop). Both machines access the internet via wifi. Both have the same problem! o_O
Both machines are up-to-date. I've rebooted many times. I've tried booting an old kernel. I haven't installed any new software lately. I've tried disabling all plugins for the browsers. I've tried power-cycling our internet modem. I've tried changing my DNS settings to use Google's Public DNS service. Nothing helps.
Actually, one small piece of information: If I put my browser in incognito mode, I can get to the "sign-in" page for both facebook and netflix. But upon putting in my credentials, I still cannot reach my custom user home page for either site.

I want to configure a remote internet facing server as git server. I would like to restrict access to the server to a few systems (access is restricted to select computers, not users). I first thought of using ssh key, but the key can be copied to another system hence that alone is not sufficient. I am having a dynamic IP, so simple IP based firewall blocking is also not possible. I was thinking about the possibility of using both SSH Key and IP based access. Is it possible to update the firewall rule whenever my ip gets changed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedAt school, the shop I work in has machines that run windows xp and cannot be updated to the latest SP (consider these machines "B"). This means that they are quarantined whenever connected to the network. There are also workstations that we would like to be able to connect to "B" for the sole purpose of dropping a file into a directory. These machines we will call "A" and are considered trusted.
I have No control of the school's network. I have a spare PC with two NICs as well as a 5 port switch. My thought was to use the spare PC as a gateway/router/VPN and setup an isolated "network b" consisting of all the untrusted systems. Disallow all traffic other than the VPN connection. Connect via vpn from the 4ish trusted workstations "A" to Network B. I could use mac filtering (I think) to accomplish this and disallow any computer not specifically authorized, thereby isolating the untrusted computers completely.
I would like to determine what computers are currently connected to my access point/router via the command line in Linux.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make my home server accessible to the whole web. I have installed Nginx on my Fedora 15 64-bit Linux machine, and it works with localhost but it doesn't work online or allow other computers on the network to access it via the IP address. It keeps coming back with: Could not connect
I have port forwarding. I have even tried different ports but they all seem to be blocked. What could be wrong? I have a netgear router.
I have built a linux router with a pc having two network cards. I am running ubuntu 8.10.
I have enabled forwarding on the router. One network (192.168.1.0/24)is connected to eth0 and another (192.168.2.0/24) is connected to eth1.
The interfaces have addresses 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1.
On any side side of the network, I can ping both interfaces on the router.
However when I ping a machine on the other side of the network, I get 100% packet loss.
I have not touched iptables on the router or any machines.
What I am doing wrong?
I have three computers in my network, but two will be mentioned. Computer A is a Linux Mint 9/Windows 7 dual-boot, and I have just installed Mandriva Free 2010.2, which I will call Computer B.
Now my main problem is that Computer B, while it can see and access Computer A's shares as well as the third computer, the aforementioned computers cannot access Computer B. The message was: "Unable to mount location/Failed to mount Windows share." Now, the SMB protocol was used because of the third computer and Computer A have Windows OSs installed in them.
What I originally wanted was that I can share Computer B's NTFS partition, namely Documents and Downloads, to the other computers. And I can't do that, because of the error message.
What I can do, however, is use Computer B to view shares from the other two computers (Computer A, as an example). By my experiences in Linux Mint, I understand that I'd have to mount my Windows partitions in order to share them. I don't even know if my NTFS drive in Computer B is mounted, though that is what was described.
Ever need to provide access to multiple PC's and did not have a router only a hub. Maybe this isn't original thinking, but then again maybe you didn't think of doing it this way (which i am sure there are many ways to do it) So I have 2 Ubuntu Servers, 1 Windows Box and a Hub - All 3 with internet access off of single ip and single Ethernet port.
While searching for a backup method today I came across Clonezilla. I was wondering if this was the right thing for me and since I needed to backup my roommates PC for a reformat and install of Windows I decided I would give it a try, but only if it would work. I didn't want the hassle of going into the main part of the house and finding out what cord was what as there is a cable modem connected into a switch (4 static IP's with internet) and one port of the switch hooked to a router) Anyways, didn't work he was on the router I was on the switch)
But this got me thinking. When I setup my server to do this, during one of the setup scripts it said it was setting up Internet access for client machines and that it was assigning them IP addresses threw a DHCP server that it had installed.
So, I dug up the hub connected the internet cable to hub up link and Server 1 on port 1 Server 2 on port 2 and Windows on port 3 The main server gets the internet provided IP address and routes it to the hub via a virtual interface. Server 2 is configured for DHCP and the windows box, It was set to get info automatically but it didn't fill the DNS info so I had to manually do that (just a heads up) I decided to use OpenDNS Servers (208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220) but im sure putting in the gateway IP address would have worked too.
So, by now if you need this I am sure you are excited and want to get to it. Like i said there are probably other ways of doing it, ways that don't involve you installing clonezilla and DRBL, maybe even just DRBL is needed, maybe one of them installed whats needed as a dependency- all I know is it works, if you know - elaborate so people know, but hey- this way not only do you have internet access on all PC's you can deploy custom images to them as well.
Alright so i just wanted to try and get remote desktop connections running so i can access files on the other computers in my house. For my first try i went after my laptop. I'm using rdesktop.
First couple times i tried i typed in

I realized that my laptop's firewall was blocking the packets, so i created a custom rule that allows all TCP packets on port 3389. So i fired up rdesktop again. Now it pops back with:

But instantaneously, not after 15 seconds (not sure if thats significant or not.) I checked my firewall's log and it allowed the tcp packets.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI try to open an application, and it's painfully slow, and i think "this is weird i've had it open just 10 seconds ago and it should be in the cache". the disk is constantly working, so maybe i ran out of ram and it's swapping, so i check: according to 'free -m', about 200m of 2g ram is used (without buffers/cache), but still also 200m of swap is used, although swappiness is set to 1 (low tendency to swap). so this is not normal.also, kswapd0 is eating pretty much cpu (but not 100%). switching to tty1, logging in, and starting iotop takes about a minute. according to iotop, about 8 random processes (could be a browser, could be some daemon) have 99% IO activity (i'm not sure what that means, how can 8 processes take 99% each?).after the first 3 times, i disabled swap by adding swapoff -a to rc.local, but it's still the same, and kswapd is still among the cpu-eaters.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn a few months I am gonna be starting a website that handles credit card information.
A requirement of my servers is that they be fully self-maintaining.
By this is mean that they will download their own updates, restart them-self, and switch them-self back on after general house power failure (black out).
Is there a way in Linux to make the computer automatically reboot itself after download and installing an update (if it needs to). My Linux uses the apt package system, with Synaptic Package Manager/Update Manager.
Now here is another problem I found. When a customer has logged into my site, my computer won't register them as logged in when they've rebooted? Like, its going to issue them new cookies? Credit card transaction process will be have to be restarted?
What if I build two identical server running in sync with each other... sort of like RAID mirror.. and they both download and install updates, once their both ready to reboot. Computer 1 will reboot. On successful reboot, System 1 alerts System 2 that it successfully reboot and that System 2 may now reboot. This way the customers experience is not interrupted.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI noticed weird behavior with some of the installed applications. It all started with Guake when I wanted to use it. My shortcut key is F4, I hit F4 and nothing showed up. So I run Guake in terminal, everything fine. Then I hit F4 key and after few seconds Guake crashes with message "Segmentation fault". Nothing more, just that. Then I noticed that Audacity does the same, Gdebi too and even Reportbug app does that (I'm not sure about "segmentation fault", but the app crashes). I don't remember doing anything special or installing any app. All I can think of is this message when booting the system

No idea, if there is any connection. Is there anyway, how I can maybe see more behind that "Segmentation fault" error? I found history.log in /var/log/apt/, so I'm thinking about looking into it and see if I really did not installed anything. I have a little feeling that it might have started after some update, but I'm not sure about that..
