Fedora Networking :: Setting Up Internet Via Terminal
Feb 16, 2011
I'm trying to connect to the internet though the terminal and I think i've determined my key is off.
Here is what I do:
Code:
So form this i go:
Code:
where the last four #### are actually the numbers but ii'm not sure if it's possible to reverse a wep. My connection uses wpa & wpa2 encryption but doesn't accept that key. I'm not sure what my key is supposed to look like or be but i'm pretty sure the key is whats keeping me from connecting. If I change my key while browsing the internet i can't get any information. So is it possible to just put in my pasword. Or what is the key supposed to look like?

When I fire up my F10, I get connected to the Internet through wireless automatically. I jus wanted to experience how the CLI- Command Line Interface world is and to test the text based internet apps like elinks,lynx etc.. So I changed the runlevel to 3 in my /etc/inittab file. Now when I fire it up, it gives me the terminal.
The problem is I am unable to connect to internet. How should i connect to the Wireless Access Points.. n also here internet is under a http proxy ...so how to configure the connection.
I have tried a lot, like
Code:
I have used this part of script many times in runlevel 5 i.e X mode under gnome for spoofing my wireless adaptor's mac id by adding a line before starting the NetworkManager service.
Code:
I have also tried something like
Code:
But this one shows nothing(no output just stays blank) I dont get why it doesnt work under runlevel 3..

Setting up an Internet proxy In the past I had set a computer to act as an Internet proxy. This would be multihomed, and running dansguardian, tinyproxy and firehol. Then webmin would be used as interface. By time I realised that this system is far from effective. Is there some other way to setup a proxy to be placed between users and the Internet? I would like (the admin) to be able to see in which sites users go and have a lot of control on access..

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and am very excited about using it for the first time. I am very new to computers and stuff though so I don't have much of a clue as to what I'm doing. Although it installed fine, for my wireless connection it says "device not ready". What does this mean and how do I connect to the internet?

I set up a static IP address yesterday, following the instructions at the top of this page and since my machine no longer connects to the internet (although all other machines are connecting fine, so I know it's a result of this change).

I have virtual XP set up with VirtualBox and I can't (been trying for a couple weeks now) to get an Internet connection on the VM. I have tried using NAT, bridged adapters and nothing.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 . Need to get my wireless router working on my HP laptop. Have been using a Linksys WRT54G Router with windows and it is working properly. Tried setting up in NetworkManager but it does not work.
When looking at things in the Ubuntu terminal it says the network is DISABLED.

I have tested several Linux Distros over the last weeks, and with all of them my DSL connection have been working out of the box (for intance Mandriva, Ubuntu, Mint). But it does not work on Dreamlinux, neither on Live CD or now where Dreamlinux is installed on my harddisk.
According to the guidelines provided by my Internet provider I need to use TCP/IP and activate DHCP. And make sure that PPPoE is not activated.
I see nowhere I can do this in Dreamlinux. In the controle panel i can run Wicd. Then I can chose to de-activate Wicd - this gives me an option of entering Adress, Networking mask, Gatway and Nameserver - for static ip it says - and this is the opposit of DHCP, right??
SO - what to do? Should I get a debian package or something? (Dreamlinux is using debian packages, as far as I could see)

I recently used this process to connect my Samba network to be able to access and allow Windows XP machines to access my computer on my office network.
For various reasons, all the XP computers on the network are set to fixed (do we say static?) IP addresses with manual DNS. Hence I realised during the Samba setup that I had to set a static IP on my Ubuntu machine similar to my Windows static IP's (ie 192.168.10.?) in order to be able to see the Windows share PC's properly.
Once I set my Ubuntu machine to static IP of 192.168.10.3 with subnet of 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.0.1 then I was able to access and be accessed by PC's on the network. However I couldn't access the internet after this. I input the DNS server in the edit connections as you can see per the attachment. All these settings (except the IP address obviously) were all now exactly the same as the PC machines, and I thought I'd now be able to access the windows network, as well as have access to the internet, however, even though my wired network is connected there is still no internet access.
I'm using the GUI under network connections to make all these changes if that is important. I can't understand why this doesn't work?

I'm having an issue with a new install of 9.10. I've set the ip address in /etc/network/interfaces and I've also set DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.
The issue I am having is that no address resolves, nor can I ping outside of my LAN. I've wanted to avoid using the GUI network setup because it hasn't been saving the information correctly. Here are how the files look code...
I don't know what eth1 is; I only have 1 ethernet connection in that machine, so I'm thinking it may have something to do with that. However if the machine is using eth1 (which has no address) than it follows that I shouldn't be able to locally ssh or vnc into it, right?

I'm trying to give some windows users a permanent connection to a samba share behind a firewall over the public Internet. I know I can give them access with something like winscp (which they have done) but really I'd like to do it with a VPN so it seems seamless to the user. However I have no idea how to set up the server to support this and am finding the documentation a bit confusing. The samba share is on a Debian box and the firwewall is a Linksys WRT54GL.

First, the network manager would show up on my girlfriend's profile (hers was the first one we created) but it won't show up on mine and it would not detect any internet connections. I found another thread that told me to type "nm-applet &" into the terminal, which works great. It shows the network manager and auto connects. But as soon as I close the terminal, it auto disconnects. Anyone know why and what I can do to make the network manager icon stay besides keeping the terminal open?

My Internet connection works.Using no VPN connection, I can access the Tnternet from the gnome-terminal (ping, apt-get, lynx), as well as from any GUI application.As soon as I establish a VPN connection via openconnect, GUI applications such as firefox, transmission and thunderbird still work.But terminal applications (such as mutt, apt-get etc), some daemons (like mpdscribble) and some GUI applications (such as the easytag cddb search) don't work anymore.

Where does Ubuntu store the profiles information for Terminal sessions (e.g., colors, title bar menu on/off, etc.)? I managed to turn off the menu then set that as a default and can't access the profiles menu any more.

Last night I upgraded to 10.04. Previously I had a hotkey set up for running a terminal, but now i can't seem to get the system to recognize my preferences. I went to system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts and I set the hotkey I want to use, but I doesn't seem to save or something. What can I do to fix this?

i am trying to use a local DNS service (unbound), and for that, i want each connection (eth0, wlan0) to first use localhost as DNS (127.0.0.1) and then try the DNSs it gets from the DHCP. this is a laptop so it is not just setting it for a single connection but a system default.
i looked and searched and there does not seem to be a straightforward way of doing it. i am usign gnome with networkmanager, and setting the method as "get IP only" is not suitable, as it omits the DHCP-provided DNSs, and also cannot be set as the default method.

I have been looking and trying to set up DNS on my home setup just for kicks and giggles. I know it is supposed to make resolving web pages faster and I am working in a job where I do networking stuff all the time everything I can learn about networking the better. I know HOW DNS works but I have problems finding a How-to for what I want. I would like to state that my knowledge of Linux is very minimal but I have seen what it can do and want to learn how to use it effectively.
I have a FC10 box acting as a gateway (with DHCP for all systems at home), firewall and windows file server (Samba). I have a comcast modem which leads to the gateway and from there to my other systems.
My coworker helped set it up so I didn't really learn much from it but I have some very basiv skills.What I want to do is enable my server to handle what my ISP provides with DNS, I am NOT looking to host webpages, just the query and storage of the IPs for webpages for faster resolving. Every help and how to I have looked at just talks about setting up DNS for a page to host. I installed BIND already and I would like to configure it to deal with this. Any and all help is appreciated, even links to a How-to that pertains to me would be helpful as I am having no luck with that at the moment.

Setting up a Linux router in Fedora 10. The router has an IP (192.168.1.1) for the eth0 on the internal LAN and a static registered IP for eth1 on the internet connection. All the internal LAN client PCs have gateway set to 192.168.1.1. My question is what do I set the gateway address to on eth0 and eth1 and how would I configure this in /etc/sysconfig/network?

I'm trying to set up a Linux box with three ethernet interfaces as a bridge where I can do some packet filtering. I don't want this box to have any IP stack, packets that are allowed through the filter should be forwarded without changes just the way a switch would do it. I have build a kernel with ethernet support but no IP stack. It detects my interfaces, and I can bring them up with the ifconfig or ip commands. But when I try to start a bridge with brctl I get this error message:
can't setup bridge control: Address family not supported by protocol
A google search for that error message gave me no results at all. The command I used was "brctl addbr br", which does work on a full installation. Does brctl require IP support in the kernel? That would be a bit odd I think, since brctl doesn't do anything IP related, everything it does is at lower layers?
Does anybody know what the above message means, and what I might have been doing wrong?

I'm trying to set up the Remote Desktop and am not getting anywhere. No matter what I do it seems that I'm only able to set it up to be viewable locally, over the local intranet. Do I need to open specific ports on a router? If so, what ports? Is there anything else I need to configure?
