I setup my computer to share printers on home network. So I set my F11 PC for manual ip & it works fine for print sharing but now I can't get to the Internet. I noticed under manual settings that every time I set the gateway & try to apply it, it jumps back to all 0's. If I set it to DHCP, I get to the Internet no problem. I just have 2 wireless configs right now 1 for printing & 1 for Internet but it would be a lot easier if I could just use the one manual setting & get it to keep the gateway setting. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G router. And I do select a manual IP outside the range the router uses for DHCP.
i have no problem with DHCP Internet conection, when i set up to manual and manually imput an IP ADDRESS-NETMASK-GATEWAY y get local red but not Internet. Im i missing something, i cant find a guide for dummies.
I have a typical 'linksys' style home wireless router (whose IP is 192.168.0.1) .
If I use DHCP, everything works fine:
Code:
However, if I try to give myself a static IP,
Code:
(I also never understood why the DNS server should not be the real dns server address (some external ip) rather than the router's address? but that is what gets set automatically when using DHCP)
So using manual, it connects, but then the internet doesn't work. The only difference I see when I go to "connection information" when connected with dhcp vs manual is in dhcp mode there is a "default route: 192.168.0.1". Is that the problem? How do I set this "default route" / what is it?
In the process of making the jump from Ubuntu to Fedora and some of the file placement is catching me. Under Debian, I knew how to setup wireless from boot using /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant. Now, I know F12 uses /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, but I can't seem to follow the details. Can I use the same commands issued in /etc/network/interfaces in the appropriate /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts file? Can I, basically, copy my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf?
lost my internet connection on fedora 12 ? i try to assaing the ip address manual in the configruation part but no nothing happen I've tried googling for the problem
I've just installed fedora 10 on my Dell Inspiron 1525, and I can't connect to my wireless net. I know how to manually enter the SSID (and have no clue what a BSSID is), MAC address, and I know it's infastructure (well, it's not ad-hoc, so it must be).
The problem is, my router uses a 64-bit encryption protocol, and there's no '64-bit' key option under Wireless Security's dropdown. Is there any way around this, aside from either changing the encryption protocol, or plugging it in manually (neither of which are options)?
I have just changed my gateway address,now I can access internet with my browser but unable to run add/remove software as it says no network connection available,system updates are not working as well. What should I do make these working?
I have installed fedora 11 64 bit on a new computer. I have no problems accessing the computers on my local network, but can not get past the gateway. The gateway is running windows XP with IP address 192.168.0.1 and is named "internet". When I boot the new computer in windows, there is no problem. Here is the output of some commands I saw in other posts with similar problems:
From what I've read, when linux sends a ping it sends without the netmask, so windows server assumes it must be a broadcast? Why doesn't linux send a netmask with a ping?
I have a fedora 14 box which has a static IP and I can not contact the internet or even my gateway router.I know it has to do with my kernal IP routing table but I can not find the command to do what I need...Here is my kernal IP routing table
7.2 Home Network Gateway. Has anyone used this gateway and will it support both desktop and laptop I ask this question because I use my desktop at home and when traveling the laptop. The desktop has Fedora and the laptop has cut my tounge out vista.
I have Fedora 12 and Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration in my lenovo laptop.The config of my laptop is core2duo 1.73, 3gb ram and 160gb hdd.I updated my fedora 12 yesterday. But after that internet stopped working. But I'm able to ping google.com successfully.Internet is working properly in my windows. I have posted this message from the same ethernet connection in my windows.I have posted the output when pinging google.com down here. code...
I cannot authenticate on my wireless network. it keeps asking me the WPA key (which I correctly enter everytime it asks me to). I COULD do that before rebooting. Now I can't. Nice. What can I do? I've read somewhere that in the RC there where problems with the network applet I don't know what... can this be reconducted to that?
I am using the Fedora 13 Live USB on my Gateway MT6451 laptop. All the major things you want to work on a laptop with linux actually work! Even my Broadcom wireless card! But even though I can see wireless networks and connect to ones that are open with no problem, I can't actually connect to my Hidden WPA2 network. I put all the information in and it connects, shows a good signal, but doesn't acquire the correct IP. I have a 192.168.X.X address range on my network, but it shows a 10.X.X.X ip and no Gateway address.
If I can get this one thing working I will definitely be installing Fedora.
where the various ........ represent the relevant addresses. This is necessary because my ISP only recognizes one computer - my first one. The above works fine, I simply copy and paste the above from a text document, but I would like to know which files I can alter/create so that all the above is achieved automatically when I boot my second computer.
I am trying to manually configure my wireless interface similar to how I manually configure my wired interfaces on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). I have two wired interfaces that use static IP addresses. I set up these interfaces using /etc/network/interface file. I disabled network manager (it was never working correctly to start with). Now, I want to connect my wireless interface (wlan0) to an unsecured wireless private network. I know/can find out all the information about the wireless network (ssid, etc). Also, I need to do this without disconnecting either of my wired interfaces.
I have looked all over the internet/forums for information about how to set up this interface, but nothing I found meets my need. Is there any way I can use iwconfig or the interface file to connect to this wireless connection? Or is there any other tool that will allow me to manually do this?
I use my computer as a gateway to the internet for the rest of the house which is split into two LANs. I also have VPN's linking the office side of the LAN to a remote site. All of the PC's other than mine that should have access to the VPN works, but my PC doesnt and I firmly believe this is because I need to add a static route. ping 192.168.10.1 doesnt work but ping -I eth2 192.168.10.1 does. 192.168.10.1 is the remote router on the other side of the VPN. I've tried this route:
Code: route add -net 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth2 192.168.1.1 is my computer... the gateway for the rest of the house/office. My computer has a quad NIC, only 3 ports are used. WAN, LAN1 and LAN2. Aside from this routing issue, I have everything working perfectly.
I am trying to get a Linux (Slackware 13.37) working in a Windows networking environment. The IT support for this organisation does not extend to Linux support, so I'm limited in what help I can get for this.
I'm trying to get to the point where I can get to the internet to download what I need on this Linux machine.
The situation is this (*fictitious addresses used) -My Linux machine uses a fixed IP address (10.100.150.21) My Windows machine uses a DHCP assigned IP address (10.100.150.213)Both Linux and Windows machine are configured to access the gateway server (10.100.150.1)So, I can ping the Linux machine from the Windows machine and vice-versa.I can ping the gateway machine from the Windows machine.I can browse Windows Shares on the network via SMB from the Linux machine.I CANNOT ping the gateway machine from the Linux machine with the Destination Host Unreachable message being the error message.
For actual internet access I need to access a proxy server but since the Linux machine can't even ping the gateway server, it fails to ping the proxy.Now, I have been told the gateway is a HW based router and for Windows machine they use some software for authentication to connect to the network. This software isn't available for Linux, so that's why I've been told to use a fixed IP address.My experience of networking is pretty basic and most of the Linux setup is done via running Slackware's setup program.
I have created a daemon which is being run as a system service at boot, and the start command goes well. When I login after boot and check with
service name status
it says it's running and the daemon accepts requests from clients in the network, only the executable it runs as a response to a client request does not work properly.
If I manually restart the service, as with service name restart everything works OK until the next system reboot.
Somehow the context in which the daemon runs is not OK after boot, and it becomes OK after manual restart.

The IP I want the computer to have is 192.168.0.5, my router is 192.168.0.1, my subnet is 255.255.255.0 I don't know what the Name server is for. Do I need to put the above into into any of the fields above? I've tried a few times but with no luck.
I just installed the new 2.6.27.5-37.fc9.x86_64 kernel from the updates-newkey repository, and I've discovered that the new kernel boots much slower than the 2.6.26 kernel and requires manual intervention to complete the boot sequence on my laptop.
Details: 1) My laptop is a HP dv9708us with 17" AMD Turion dual core 64bit system, 3Gb memory, two SATA drives. One drive (a Fujitsu 160Gb) was installed by HP, and I added a second (a Hitachi 320Gb) drive in the empty secondary drive bay.
2) I have Fedora installed on the secondary drive, but I boot from GRUB using the Kubuntu /boot directory on the first drive. I do that because GRUB cannot properly access the secondary drive. (GRUB reports (hd1) as avilable, but can't "see" any partitions on it.)
3) When the 2.6.26 kernel is booted, the ATA driver produces several messages about the secondary drive being "frozen" untill it reduces the access speed from 3Gb/sec to 1.5Gb/sec. Thereafter it works normally. (I asked in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...to-fix-678903/ how to fix this, but received no replies.)
4) When I boot the new 2.6.27 kernel, the boot hangs for a minute or so for each attached USB device and then appears to hang completely while trying to access the secondary ATA drive. The manual intervention that resolves the problem is to repeatedly push the "control" key, which will cause the ATA error messages, seen with the older kernel, to be displayed and the boot to finish.
5) Even with the manual intervention, the boot process requires about five minutes to complete. This is considerably slower then the boot time required by the 2.6.26 kernel on the same hardware.
6) Without the manual intervention the boot process had not completed during the time it took me to shower, shave, and get dressed this morning - about 45 minutes.
I have a WRT610N router which has an inbuilt media server. The cool thing is, you get 2 wireless networks, so you can label one as abg & one as N. I've been ftp'ing files from the media server, which is a really good way of testing wireless performance. I was just wondering what sort of performance you should see from 54Mbps & N ?
Under FC11 I see anything between 1500KB/sec download & 2400KB/sec download when it's on the N band (5GHZ) but reports 54Mbps connection. My mac on the other hand pulls around 3000KB/sec transfer on the N band.
I was just wondering what sort of "standard" performance I should expect ? I'm fairly sure that linux latest kernel, the 5GHZ router & Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 are not connecting N band. Searches on the news groups shows people asking what G band, N band is, but no ball park, expect these figuers.
I have a server with 192.1.9.10 ip address and I want to define two gateways with ip: 192.1.9.4 and 192.1.9.254 on it but I don't know how I can do it. I don't have professional information in linux.
I've rent a server from a Germany data center,They use a single IP as their gateway that is not in range of my servers IP,Strangly server is working well and when I use 'route -n' command the gateway which is in other subnet appears properly./etc/sysconfig/network contains no gateway IP and I don't know how they set the default gateway while after reboot the gateway is the same, also the IP is static and there's now DHCP.I need to know how they did it so I can do the same on my VPSes.
