how to set up my laptop with Fedora 15 so I can see my other Windows computer on the network so I can access the files on it? I'm still new to Fedora so the more detailed the better it is for me.

Since I installed fedora on my desktop (there is no other OS on my desktop computer at the moment) I can't connect to my laptop which has Windows XP installed on it, although I can normally connect to internet from both computers. Here is the drawing to illustrate how everything is connected:
On the picture you can see that the phone line goes to the ADSL modem. The ADSL modem is connected to the Wireless modem with LAN cable. Wireless modem is connected to my desktop computer with LAN cable, and trough the wireless connection to the laptop. Internet is working fine for both computers, but desktop can't see laptop and vice versa. What do I need to do in order to see the laptop?
I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.5. I am trying to browse to the Windows machines on my network (Places > Network Servers > Windows Network), but I get a blank window. I am able to ping the Windows machines using their IP address, but not by their name. What do I need to do to be able to see the Windows machines and also to connect to shared folders on these machines? So far I have tried starting SMB (via System > Administration > Server Settings > Services). I have also tried changing my smb workgroup to "WORKGROUP" (the default was mygroup which did not match my Windows machines.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a network of 5 Windows Machines and 1 Linux Server. I created a Filemaker Pro Database on a windows machine and share it with the other machines through web publishing (only locally). - On any Internet browser, they only have to go the IP of the computer hosting the database - http://192.168.1.99:120 to enter & use the database, and all the other windows machines connect perfectly.
However, when I type the same IP(+port No.) into Firefox on my Linux computer, it can't reach the windows computer with the database (It just times out). Is there a firewall preventing it from connecting to other computers on the network, or do I need to update firefox or run another Internet browser or install Samba? I don't have much experience with Linux, as a programmer set the server up for me, so a simple solution with as little programming as possible would be fantastic.
cannot connect to my window computer using open SuSe
I am attempting to connect to my Windows Computer via a wired network on a sky router. When I tried with PClinuxOS it configured automatically. With the latest version of open SuSe 13.1this is quite a bit different. I have got as far as the network being auto and active with an Icon showing on the taskbar. However when I click on the Windows network Icon SuSe tyies to locate my Computer but then comes back with " failed to reteive share list from server. This is as far as I can get after several hours of trying.
I have a home network of 4 computers - 3 Windows & 1 Xubuntu I'm able to connect to the Xubuntu machine from all of the Windows computers, but I can't do the opposite - connect to the Windows machines from the Xubuntu. I'm using Gigolo, and I can see the network, but it says no servers found.

When the networks shows up in NetworkManager, I select it, the two dots turn green, and it tries connect for about a minute - but eventually fails.Is there a special way you need to go about in order to connect to ad hoc networks?Note: I've tried connecting to it through Windows, and everything works swell...so the problem isn't from my other device - the problem is Fedora.
View 12 Replies View RelatedExcuse the length but this issue will take a little explaining. I need to connect my fedora11 box to a windows XP (sp3) laptop. Both are on a lan, with the fedora box at 192.168.0.100 and the laptop at 192.168.0.102. The laptop has openssh server by way of cygwin. Both machines have account jimm with the same password. I can ssh (putty) from the laptop to fedora but can't go the other way. When I ssh from fedora to windows I get a login and password request which results in "Permission denied, please try again." . I know the password is correct as I login to the laptop with it. I have also tried using the windows rdp by turning remote access on in windows and then using any of a variety of desktop viewers to connect. This always results in a version of "Autoselected keyboard map en-us ERROR: 192.168.0.102: unable to connect ". I have turned off firewalls in both machines for these tests and made sure that the local router is completely open to lan traffic. I've checked the forums and not gotten any ideas on how to fix this. I seem to remember (from way back when) that there was an issue connecting when windows switched from plain text passwords to encrypted. The ssh password rejection is what got me thinking about this. By the way, I forgot to mention that I can mount a samba share of the windows drive on the fedora box.

2 days ago I did a fresh install of Fedora on my computer to be dual-booted with Linux Mint. The first time I did this install a few weeks ago, I did all of the updates, rebooted (internet still fine) and when I rebooted again, Fedora could no longer connect to the internet (but could still see the networks and ostensibly connect to them). I fixed it then by manually setting the BSSID/IP/DNS/etc.
And this happened again on the new install! This time it took out the internet connection in Mint too. I tried manually setting the connection settings, but that didn't even work for a while. So, last night, thinking that the install might be the problem, I reinstalled Fedora. This morning I finally got my internet to connect on Mint, but I'm concerned that if I do all of the updates on Fedora I'm just going to end up back at square one with zero internet connection.
I will be staying somewhere that uses WPA encryption for their wireless network. It's a hidden wireless network with the security type being WPA-Personal the encryption type being TKIP.The connection works while in Windows7but not in F12.I edited the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.confthe default information already provided for WPA connections.Then, as su, I ran:
Code:

VirtualBox-3.2.8 (the non-free version) seems to be able to tell my wlan0 connection to 'split' into 2 IP addresses: one for the OS inside VirtualBox and one for the host. My router runs Tomato and I can see both real and virtual machines with different IP addresses in the device list (I can also visit httpd running on my host machine from inside the virtual machine). Is it possible to replicate this outside of VirtualBox?
In my case, I would like to be able to 'split' wlan0 into 2 with one IP address for normal network use and the other 'assigned' to eth0. eth0 is "shared to other computers" from NetworkManager and is currently connected to a Belkin router. My goal is to have this Belkin router assigned an address that all machines in my Tomato network can access (I have an OpenBSD 4.7 home server connected to the Belkin).
Whilst VirtualBox was running I tried to see if bridge-utils was being used:
Code:
[root@1 ~]# brctl show
bridge namebridge idSTP enabledinterfaces
...but it appears as though it isn't.
I picked up a cheap PC the other day for �20 and it came with a Belkin N Wireless USB adapter. I know the adapter works because Windows XP was originally installed and I could connect with no problems. I wasn't able to connect when I installed Kubuntu so I thought I'd see if I could have any more luck with Fedora....so far, not so good! I realise that this is a fairly common problem, especially for this USB adapter, but I've tried dozens of threads here and elsewhere and still can't get Fedora online.I can see the wireless networks in the list, but if I try and connect then I just repeatedly get asked to enter the authentication details, which I know I'm providing correctly.

I'm running Fedora 13 on my laptop and am trying to share out a folder from a Win7 computer. Folder on Win7 machine is set to allow access to everyone.In Fedora, I have SELinux disable, I've made sure samba is allowed in the firewall, and that the smb service is running. There's no password on the Win7 computer, so in the Windows Share setting on Fedora I just put the username and left the pass field blank.
I've seen some things say all you have to do is go the the "Network" place...but somehow that seems to have become non-existent and I don't know how to get it back.Also, trying to connect to smb://WinShare/Share results in it saying that the server has timed out.

View 2 Replies View RelatedO currently have 2 USB WiFi adaptors: a Linksys WUSB54G v4 and a D-Link DWA-110. Both these USB adaptors worked extremely well in Windows: they could connect to any network: unsecured, WEP and WPA1/2I have tested these adaptors in DreamLinux, OpenSUSE and Mandriva: in these 3 distributions, i could use both adaptors to connect to my home's WPA2 network.Both adaptors also work well in Fedora 10.In Fedora 11 Alpha though, its a different thing: only the D-Link is able to connect to the home WPA2 network. My Linksys WUSB54Gv4 can 'see' the network, but when i enter in the WPA2 key, it takes forever to try to negotiate a connection before timing out and disconnecting.

If you look at the image below:
I have marked the network icon, but on my desktop I don't have that icon for some reason...
Since I'm new @ Linux(Picking it up again) I went to the services and checked 2 services:
The network manager service was running but the status said: This service is dead.
And the network service was also running but status was: The status of this service is unknown.
I also went to the Administration menu and checked Network, the first tab showed no devices, but when I went to the hardware tab it did show my card.
I also don't believe that this is hardware problem since the card worked just fine under Fedora 9 or 10(Don't remember).
So if anyone got some solutions for me it would be great...
