If you are running a home server/website, and want a domain name, currently you can use dyndns and others etc. to get a free one and use that so people can find you by name. So my question is, can it be done on your home server without having to use eg dyndns or others.
View 3 RepliesAt the school i work in i have a server2k3 server that provides a domain to all the windows clients, aswell as a fedora server that acts as an imaging machine and webserver.
Im rather concious of the fact that if for any reason the Server2k3 server was to die there is no backup of active directory, or anything that can take its place whilst a replacement is found.
So is it possible to use a fedora machine with samba as a secondary domain controller? so it can be used as a login server, and has a copy of AD.
I setup my computer to use dyndns. I can ping my computer from another computer and I get thisping vielma-server2.dyndns-server.com

I have just installed dyndns in my local ubuntu server runing on apache...I dont have static Ip's so I have to use ipv6 ip's how can I configure dyndns to run with ipv6 ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently set up an Ubuntu server and from within the network I can do several things like: log in via SSH, transfer files via FTP, and remotely control Torrents from other computers. My end goal is to be able to access these services by using my dyndns hostname (example.dyndns.org)from an external network.
When I type my dyndns name in my web browser it opens up my router page. How would I set things up so that I can just type my dyndns hostname to point directly to my server, instead of the router page?
All computers are connected to a router which is connected to an ADSL modem, with automatically assigned I.P addresses.
I've only installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server yesterday, and it was the first time I had ever used it. As far and I can tell I have my Apache server up and running. When I go to localhost I get the 'It works!' page.
I tried checking my port in Windows, after I have Xampp loaded up, it says the port is working fine, and the site loads up properly, which leads me to believe the problem not in my router.
I've installed ddclient and put the proper information in as far as I can see but it still doesn't work. I've been testing my port here: [url]
And here is what I have in my ddclient.conf:
I'm trying to create a VPN-Tunnel so that I can access my home-LAN via internet. I've got a Draytek Vigor 2710n Router and a T-Online Internet connection.
For the reason, that my WAN IP changes about every 24h, I've registered at www.dyndns.org. When I've understood dyndns correctly, my router tells my ddns host, which WAN IP it has and my VPN clients requests this IP from the ddns host? What ever, I activated DynDns and created an account. Provider is dyndns.org, type is dynamic. Domain name is XXXX.dyndns.org. Username and password is set as given by www.dyndns.org. When connecting and checking the log, it seems to work as the result is:
"DDNS is updating
A= "username", H="address given by dyndns.org", U=1
Connecting to the DDNS server
Return Code= good (IP Adress)
Updated successfully."
Anyway, I'd like to start with PPTP, because it seems to be the easiest and most compatible solution (although not the savest).
I'll begin with my router's setup. I've activated PPTP VPN Service. Dial-In Authentication is PAP or CHAP. Dial-In Encryption is Optional-MPPE. Mutual Authentication is off. Next is the Dial-In Users setting. I've created an account. Timeout is 0. Dial-In Type is PPTP. Username and password is configured. That should be all concerning the router.
Now, I'm trying Ubuntu 10.10 to create the VPN tunnel. Gateway is XXXX.dyndns.org Username and password as setup in the router's menu. Authentication method is MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2. Use Point-to-Point encryptions is activated. Security is Default and Allow stateful encryptions is activated as well. Next 3 checkboxes are unchecked and Send PPP echo packets is activated.
Well, it doesn't work. I must admit, I'm a noob at VPN, but I really don't have a clue, what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps you can tell me?
PPTP VPN to my university via Ubuntu works.
Where are there good instructions to configure the DynDNS update client? It is not updating my IP number.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA week ago or so neither ssh nor scp were working when attempting to connect to my on-campus computer from home. ssh was complainig about the key not matching and I figured out I could just delete the config file it was reading the (now old) key from and let it create a new one with the updated key upon prompting me whether or not to trust the remote host.
However, even though ssh is now working, I can no longer use scp. I issued scp -v and discovered a bunch of errors. scp prompts me for the remote password and even prints the message of the day on the remote computer but then just hangs and doesn't seem to be copying any files. I'm sure the issue is with the whole key change issue but I can't quite figure out why ssh would be working just fine and scp would be failing.
I have recently developed the need for having a file server and am interested in setting up my desktop as a Samba File Server. The problem is that I need to be able to access it from outside networks (physically I'm about 10 miles away from my home network),o I need to also set up some sort of DynDNS service so that I can access the server from anywhere.With this, with setting up a DynDNS, setting up Samba, and setting up my machine to be secure enough for these types of actions. (I just want to make sure it is secure enough since it will need to be detectable from the internet.)
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo, let's say there was a website www.qwerty.com, which is completely appropriate if not necessary except for the asdfg subfolder (www.qwerty.com/asdfg), which contains,say, pornographic material I want blocked. Is there any way to block "asdfg" without blocking the entire domain (www.qwerty.com)? I already tried editing my hosts file, but apparently that only works for whole domains.Also, while we're at it, can the hosts file be used to actually block IP addresses, or just domain names (so if I wanted qwerty.com with IP of 128.127.126.125 to be completely blocked, but know my family or employees are little smarter than that, I could add the line "0.0.0.0 128.127.126.125" to prevent all access to that website)?

I've got a home server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 and several machines running Ubuntu Desktop (9.04 and 8.04) and Windows (XP, Vista and 7). Now what I want to do is to create a domain and directory server similar in function to Windows Server w/ AD and join my other machines to the domain, but am not sure where to start. I already have file shares with Samba but now I want to setup a domain.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was using my ISP's DNS server. When I would ping something that doesn't exist, e.g. blahtest.com, it would reply anyway. When I tried to go to the site in a browser, it was some page like "I hope we can help you find what you're looking for". I thought that was ridiculous, so I changed to OpenDNS's DNS server.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a question which it believe it is quite simple but I have no clue how to do it... I'm using Fedora 12 and I'm the only Linux machine in my office's LAN... I have Apache (httpd) setup and my co-workers can access the sites perfectly by using my IP address, for example [URL]... So here's the question, how do I setup a domain name so everyone in the LAN can access the sites by typing [URL]..
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am not sure if this is a problem with my router or a problem with the fedora 12 server i am using.
- internal here means within my home network, external means from outside it.
I can access my server and webpage:
internally using http://192.168.0.192
externally using http://MYDNS___EXAMPLE.com
but I cannot access the server internally using http://MYDNS___EXAMPLE.com
This is a pain in the butt because I have all of my client software setup with an internal and external access point (ssh, proFTPd, http, MS Access database connected to MySql, etc.)
I want to use single label host names on my local LAN, without using any domain (at least no registered one). My machines should be named in a fashion similar to 'myserver', 'mydesktop' etc. so that i from a browser on any LAN machine may write 'http://myserver', and get the webserver on 'myserver' (so NO domain part, e.g. myserver.domain).
Do i need to create a DNS zone for each host or is there a way to put all host in a single zone, if so; which? Would such a name be considered a root domain?
is it possible to join a Fedora box to a Windows Domain. Will the box be automatically added in DNS?How do I configure Fedora afterwards so I can login with a domain user on the box?

I use chrony on my laptop thinking it would be better for it than ntp because I'm frequently connecting and disconnecting from wireless cafe access points and going in and out of suspend mode. But I've also noticed that if chrony is started before the access point is connected it never syncs to the time servers. I have to manually restart it via the service command after I connect. This doesn't seem right to me, if chrony fails to find a network at start time, doesn't it periodically try again ?

However I cant get to my website with the domain name that I am using from dyndns. From on my LAN I can get to my server but using it ip address (10.10.0.200) and it work fine with ssh and ftp as well. But when I try my public address or my name it does not work. I am using IE8 as I am using a windows machine. Out side the network the domain name wont work at all, but I tried my public address and everything worked perfectly.
I have recently installed ddclient to see if had made any difference but no luck. But I am keeping it there as it is working and updating my ip address.
