Fedora Networking :: Manually Configuring The Network Settings?

Mar 12, 2009

Does anyone havea good tutorial on Fedora's network scripts, how to edit them, in what order they are called, etc. What I want to do seems simple, but something in the bootup keeps changing it. Right now, I have an image of Fedora Core 7 created in a server with 2 Ethernet cards. I need to specify static IP addresses for each card. Thats simple, and I did that. Now, heres the tricky part, I need to be able to clone this image and place it onto other exact duplicates of the hardware, and have all of the settings stay the same.

What happens here, is that eth0 and eth1 are stored somewhere as devices, and upon boot on a different machine, the Fedora will mount new network cards(different MAC addresses) as eth1 and eth2. It then mvoes my ifcfg-eth0/1 to a backup, and creates two brand new network setting's files, which initialize to DHCP. This creates an issue, becuase these machines do not have monitors nor keyboards attached, nor is their a DHCP server, so its a pain when I swap the machine out, to have to go in with a keyboard/mouse/monitor and reconfigure the network settings before I can connect to it over the LAN.

So does anyone have any advice on how to do this? No matter what i tried, booting the image in a new PC caused Fedora to create two new devices and create brand new network settigns for them, both initialized to DHCP. Hell, I wouldn't care if it created brand new devices, if it would initialize them to static IP addresses that I am expecting.

OpenSUSE Network :: Manually Changing DNS Settings?

Jan 8, 2011

once upon a time i manually entered my ISP's DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf Now i have changed ISP, my old DNS setting are still present even though i have edited my resolv.conf file to my new ISP's DNS servers. Internet still works fine, i just want to use my new ISP's DNS as my old ISP will be closing its doors very soon. Am i doing something wrong, or better put.forgot to edit another file..? I did do this a while ago, so i apologise in advance for my incompetence. I'm stilling running 11.1 / Router has DHCP configured. my resolv.conf file is below

Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
### /etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig!
#
# Before you change this file manually, consider to define the
# static DNS configuration using the following variables in the
# /etc/sysconfig/network/config file:
# NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST

Ubuntu Networking :: Assigned IPV4 Settings Manually - No Internet Connectivity

Jun 20, 2011

I am new to UBUNTU. I installed the latest one alongside windows 7. I am having problem with the internet connectivity. I configured the static ip settings right I guess. Edited the Auto eth1 and assigned ipv4 settings manually and entered everything correctly.

Address 192.168.xx.xx
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.xx.xxx
DNS Server xxx.xxx.xx.x, xxx.xxx.xx.x

Do I have to put MAC Address as well? Which is addressed as 'Network address' in Windows where I put this MAC. I have on board Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20) Network adapter. Do I have to install the driver?

Fedora Networking :: Configuring IPv6 (network) Tunnelling - Getting Only Internal Addresses From DHCP

Aug 25, 2011

I am trying to configure my IPv6 network. My computers are behind a Fedora gateway IPv6-configured, which is working great. But for computers inside my network, it seems I am getting only internal addresses from DHCP. Here is my ifconfig for an internal computer:

Quote: em1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr F4:6D:04:34:92:2B inet addr:192.168.0.184 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::f66d:4ff:fe34:922b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:744250 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:548987 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:841392242 (802.4 MiB) TX ytes:60384500 (57.5 MiB) Interrupt:18 Memory:f7100000-f7120000

Fedora Networking :: Network Manager Settings All Grayed Out ?

Mar 10, 2009

I'm running Fedora 10. My Network Manager settings are all grayed out. They are uneditable. I can see the detected settings, but not change them. All of the settings fields are disabled.

Is there a way to enable these, so that they can be edited?

Starting with the menu in the upper left corner of the GNOME screen: System/Preferences/Internet And Network/Network Connections

The Network Manager window appears correctly.

I see all automatically generated settings that were created for my various devices:

In particular, I want to be able to edit "Auto vmnet8", for VMware usage.

I know about the workaround of going back to the manual network configuration as used in older versions of Fedora, such as editing the files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* and then enabling the old "network" service and disabling the "NetworkManager" service.

However, this workaround really won't work in this situation. The VMware interfaces, vmnet1 and vmnet8, are virtual interfaces that *only* exist when the VMware services are running. The VMware services are started *after* the old manual network configuration would be applied. So, at the time the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts are processed, the vmnet1 and vmnet8 devices do not yet exist! I'm hesitant to change the numbering of services, lest other things break (VMware on Fedora 10 is rather fragile already).

I love the feature of NetworkManager to be able to automatically apply settings to newly materialized network devices (such as vmnet1 and vmnet8 when VMware is loaded). However, I need to also be able to edit those settings.

Is there a solution that will make my Network Manager "Edit" window not be entirely grayed out? I can see the settings pages just fine, but unfortunately, they are all disabled and I can't edit them at all.

Ubuntu :: Manually Configuring An Applications Menu Item?

Mar 6, 2011

I've tried to create a menu shortcut to start the application by using various commands:

sudo /usr/local/netbeans-6.9.1/bin/netbeans

and I also created a sh script that essentially attempts to execute the above command in a bash script so the command line states:

/home/myaccount/startnetbeans.sh
(startnetbeans.sh is defined as exectuable, also tried "sh "/home/myaccount/startnetbeans.sh"') and in all cases when this menu item is select it does absolutely nothing.

If I try any of these options from a terminal windows they work fine. Why the difference?

Networking :: Configuring Wired Network Ubuntu 10.04?

Feb 16, 2011

"Need help with entries for connecting to broadband. Was OK with ubuntu 8.04 which had boxes for DNS server, etc. The 10.04 asks for MAC address (?) and there is a space for "DHCP client ID". I don't understand these terms. I will appreciate some step-by-step instruction or example of how I may proceed, especially exact syntax for any command line work. I am in Chennai/Madras, and have a BSNL wired broadband connection to my Dell laptop." I have repeated what I tried in the ubuntu forum without success. I'm really in newbie category, and not comfortable with computer or internet jargon. I can still connect with ubuntu 8.04 and firefox, just once daily. In a later post I also added: In Ubuntu 8.04 there was a system> admin> network tab (missing in 10.04). In the connections tab "wired" was checked. The general tab had my computer name (tsq-laptop) for host, and a blank box for domain name. The DNS tab had 192.168.1.1 in the servers box (presumably my service provider BSNL), and nothing in search domains. The hosts tab had a list of IP addresses and aliases, the first few being:

127.0.0.1 - local host
127.0.1.1 - tsq-laptop
::1 - ip6 local host ip6 loopback
fe00:: - ip6 localnet, .... (and a few more such I think most (or all) of these entries were generated automatically by the system, since I don't understand the jargon at all! I don't recall having any difficulties then, some two years back.Before that I had major problems in using the internal modem for a dial-up connection, but got detailed help by e-mail/internet from some really knowledgeable people in Europe and elsewhere regarding linmodem configuration, which I followed blindly and it worked!
In 10.04 there is only the taskbar icon to edit settings, and it has a different structure. It asks for MAC address (example 00.11.22.33.44.55). Other info required is IPv4 settings, DHCP client ID, about routers and other stuff. There may be other system settings to be made, which I can try with proper guidance. The ubuntu help page gives very sketchy information, and the images are not clear at all. No response to that till second day. Subsequently: In the 'wired' tab the 'routes' button popped a table where I entered address as 127.0.0.1, and netmask as 255.0.0.0, leaving gateway and metric blank. This is all geek stuff for me - I'm an old-fashioned engineer from the slide-rule era!

Should all this have been in the newbie forum? Thanks, =TeeSquare=

Networking :: Mounting XP Network Drive On Machine Works Manually But Not On Boot Up?

Dec 13, 2008

I know this has been covered in many threads before, but I'm stuck not finding my exact situation or an answer. I'm a newbie using a Debian Linux machine as the client and Windows XP machine as the server. I have successfully mounted the XP Network drive on the Linux machine using commands from the root terminal:

mount -t smbfs -o username="Windows Username",password=windowspassword //XPcomputername/folder /mountpoint/

However when I put the command in the ect/fstab file as suggested in several posts, I don't get any result on boot up. I.e. I can't get the network drive to mount on start up, I always have to manually mount it from the root terminal.

Networking :: Configuring Multiple Separate LANs In Same Physical Network

Jun 27, 2010

For some simulation, I am trying to configure a setup of 3 ubuntu desktops (one of them with multiple network cards) to behave in the following way:

Each one of them should be a separate network not seeing the others (including multicast addresses) They need to have internet access through the machine with multiple network cards. So from the point of view of each machine they define a LAN in which it is the only device and have internet access through the gateway machine.

What do I need to do to configure these machines for the above setup?

I have an old CRT monitor I hook it up to to be able to change settings, but it won't let me change the settings in gnome for the TV. I think the settings it will need to have for the video card hooked up RGB and television would be 1336x768, is there a way that I can program that to where it doesn't automatically detect the monitor?

Ubuntu Networking :: TCP/IP Settings For An Isolated Network?

Feb 21, 2010

small non-profit set up an isolated network for a classroom, not connected to the Internet. Most of the computers are old second-hand systems, made usable by running Linux, the one new computer can dual boot Ubuntu and Windows. I think the most light-weight approach would be to use one of the network numbers reserved for private use, assign static IP addresses, and host names in a hosts file, rather than relying on DHCP or DNS, because this wouldn't rely on any servers. But, even so, I expect to have to configure _something_ for the IPs of a gateway and DNS servers when we set up the static IP settings.what would work best for these settings?

The best guess I can make would be to list a real system with a tcp/ip stack that wouldn't be too tightly firewalled, so that requests would get promptly rejected (or handled if there is a trivial way of doing so), rather than timed out. But, I'm looking for more specific advice of what works on practice. (I'm familiar with other flavors of Unix/Linux, and TCP/IP in general, mainly from running applications on servers, but I don't have much experience on Ubuntu.) These systems would be on Ethernet switch, but I don't think we can count on any router appliances. I suppose one of the spare computers could be dedicated as a minimal router. The objective of all this networking is to set up print sharing and perhaps file service, using one of the better computers as a server.

Ubuntu Networking :: Lost Network Settings

Mar 25, 2011

My first post. I lost all connections to the internet on my Linux Box Yesterday. I have checked my broadband connection and router. OK because I am using them to sent this from my laptop. I have 2 ethernet cards - no indication of a problem with either so I suspect for reasons unknown I have lost all my network settings. The Desktop User Guide says go to the Network Settings Window. I used to have a widget on the Menu Bar which enabled me to check the settings but for some reason it vanished a month or so ago and I can't find how to get it back.

PS In the meantime I am stuck with this crummy Microsoft box the interferes with everything I try to do.
