Fedora :: Change That Network To A Based Network?
Apr 12, 2010
I've been running Fedora on my Laptop (Dell Precision) for 1.5 years. I have a Windows based network. What I'd like to do now is to change that network to a Linux (Fedora) based network. Its got 4 workstations and a switch ... I don't want internet access to this network, ... just to be able to share files between the PCs. In windows it was a matter of specifying different IPs and same workgroup assignments to each node. How does it work in Fedora ?I'd also like to see Peer-to-Peer work between my Laptop and my friend's Acer laptop running (Fedora too).

I found problem in FC 12 release. I installed fc 12 to server (earlier there was FC 7). Then as always i realised that names of interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2 .... eth9) changed after install. eth0 became eth9, eth1 became eth5 ... Earlier on previous fedora releases i solved this problem correcting HWADDR in ifcfg-eth files, so i linked MAC addresses to names (eth0, eth1, eth2) as i wanted in a right order. Now I can't do this. After correcting these files and restarting network sevice i constantly get a message: device ... has different mac than expected. I looked ifup-eth file and compare it with the same one in fedora 7. And i found that in fedora 7 there is function rename_device which processes if HWADDR value doen't coincide with real mac address value. See code:
# remap, if the device is bound with a MAC address and not the right device num
# bail out, if the MAC does not fit
if [ -n "${HWADDR}" ]; then
FOUNDMACADDR=`get_hwaddr ${REALDEVICE}`
if [ "${FOUNDMACADDR}" != "${HWADDR}" ]; then
curdev=`get_device_by_hwaddr ${HWADDR}`
if [ -n "$curdev" ]; then
rename_device "${REALDEVICE}" "${HWADDR}" "${curdev}" || {
echo $"Device ${DEVICE} has different MAC address than expected, ignoring."
[Code].....
But in fc 12 release there is no function rename_device!!!!!!!!! So in this case if HWADDR value is not the same as FOUNDMACADDR value (which equal to REALDEVICE mac address) i just get an error message So I can't change interfaces names, as result i can't organize right order of network interfaces as it was earlier on fc7.

I'm using F12 on an old box which I have fitted with a new networkcard. I'm using the box as a music server (Twonkey) and want to use the new card (gigabit - eth1) as the default, but seem unable to. I can't switch of the mainboard ethernet option (eth0) in the bios and have tried to change the settings in the ifconfig-eth0 and -eth1 files by changing the hardware addresses as elsewhere recommended, but that doesn't work. During start-up it then gives me an error message that the MAC number was not the expected one. This would indicate that the network options are kept/read elsewhere. I'm not very familiar with Linux/F12. how to make the card the default option instead of the mainboard option.

I have a multi-function printer/scanner that plugs straight into the LAN via RJ45. Printing works fine, but I'm not sure how to proceed to set up the scanner. Just to be clear, I am not asking about connecting a usb scanner then sharing it over a LAN, that's different. This scanner plugs straight into the LAN.

In gnome-network-properties I've set up two proxy locations: default and remote.
It's a bit of a fag having to change between them via the gui depending on where I am. Can the proxy be changed by command line because then I can set up a script to use the right proxy automatically? - e.g. use remote proxy if my mobile is connected via usb.
Had a google but don't think gnome-network-properties has command line options so I might be approaching this from the wrong tack.

I have installed conky from soft manager after knowing its power today. I'm using 10.10. I want to design a conky script which monitor the network traffic ie total upload + download on monthly basis as I'm on limited internet plan which is too common here. I have free usage from 2am to 8am in the morning and want to exclude this traffic. So I'm in search of a custom script which can accomplish this.

I have a relatively common problem, but I don't seem to identify it's source. I have a SAMBA server on my LAN to which there are mapped a few shares as network drives in windows xp (as Y: ) and mounted as CIFS in linux [as /y]. The problem is that every time I save a file [either windows xp or linux] on the mapped drive / mounted folder, our IDEs alert us that the file changes right after the save. I am running SAMBA 3.3.2.

What files or programs have the ability to change your default network scripts and config files? All 3 of these very important files got changed on their own.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-wlan0
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-wlan0

1) My Internet connection is COMCAST with a router box and one public IP address.2) My web server is Apache using 10.1.10.200 as its address.3) Now I want to add another host name (www.myhealth.com) on my server. I did DNS forwardin (with Godaddy) to my COMCAST static IP address.4) I also added (in my httpd.conf) a block for virtual hosting

Using CentOS 5.5, FreeRADIUS 2.1.7.
Objective is simply to be able to allow wireless clients access to my network based on their MAC address (I have about 10 WAPs around the country which I need to be able to manage user access centrally). Not interested in LDAP or dishing out keys/certificates etc.
I have been trying to follow the guide here. Sounds like it's exactly what I need but I'm not sure about a few things.
1) For each of the conf files am I supposed to be replacing everything currently existing in the respective file with what is suggested?
2) "raddb/modules/file" does not exist, so I assume I should use "raddb/modules/files"?
3) If I uncomment the line:
Code:
#rewrite_calling_station_id
under the "raddb/sites-available/default authorize{}" section, the radiusd startup gives me the following error:
/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default[69]: Failed to find module "rewrite_calling_station_id".
If anyone familiar with FreeRADIUS 2 could answer these queries I might be on the right path

I setup a server with vmware esxi 4. I installed opensuse 11.2 and I have successfully setup an internet gateway and I manually configured (static) my client IP. My question is, is there any software or commands that I could use to manage the bandwidth usage for each client? eg. only 5Mbps for 192.168.1.5, 10Mbps for 192.168.1.10, etc

I have a Linksys router configured via Windows 7 and have to other PC's using Ubunto, and would like to share folders on the 2 Linux boxes with the Windows Laptop. I can see the windows network through the Linux machines but not vice-versa. I also have a Konica 1400W printer connected to the Linux box but can't get the W7 laptop to find it.Sharing message box states I haven't installed the correct sharing packages, but cant find them

I want to know something: i have a OS based on Debian configured and installed on a machine that controls all the network. Then, I can access it via another machine (with Windows for example) (connected by crossover cable or using a switch) by a web browser where I can do everything, including adding hosts, adding users, configure mail servers, voip, configure domains, etc etc etc..I would like to install Nagios on my server but I would like to monitor the hosts, routers that I have on the network using the Windows machine. How can I do that? Isn't it supposed to access the nagios information only in the machine where it is installed?

I have an Ubuntu-based fileserver, which I have set up and works fine for 5 computers (Windows & Linux based). I have one computer, on Windows, which when I map as a network drive it works and I can transfer small files using the USB adapter. However, when copying over a large file, after 2 mins or so it comes up with the error "Specified network name cannot be found". However when plugged in using Ethernet, it will work fine.
What is even stranger is when I set it up as an FTP server rather than SAMBA, it will happily transfer a 4gb file on the USB adapter, which possibly knocks out driver issues (I have tried 2 different drivers, am currently using Linksys one from website - WUSB300N) AND perhaps the issue lies on the Linux server side with setting up the SAMBA server? However I do have another one of these adapters that works fine, but it is on WIN XP HOME with a custom network logon script (as HOME won't remember passwords after restart). BUT it does work on another computer with XP PRO as network place, so I tried network place on this one, and it still doesn't work.......

i've been an intermediate-level linux user for some years, and now i'm supposed to set up and manage a small network for our research group. we have 5 linux boxes with ubuntu 10.04 (actually i'm installing everything we need in one box and will attempt to clone the others with clonezilla). i've 2 questions:
1) i'd like to manage all user accounts from one pc (server? so to say), so that every user can log in any of the 5 machines with the same passwd etc. what is the best/easiest/most stable application/protocol to manage this?
2) is it possible to create a network logical volume, based on the individual HDs and visible to all boxes? something like a RAID0 over ethernet?

Using Fedora 10, can anyone tell me how to setup the network scripts to create two network interfaces for vlan x and y. Both interfaces should obtain an ip from dhcp and both interfaces should run over eth0.

Currently my office use a Cisco Firewall which will only allow the ANYCONNECT utility to do the vpn connection. I found a Linux utility (OpenConnect) which will do the same thing, but allow me more flexibility with my networking needs.What I ultimately would like to have is to have a switch that I can connect any network device into it and be connected to the office. IE (my IP Work Phone and Computer) Currently I have is a computer with fedora 13 and two network cards eth0 (home network - connected to a router) and eth1 which I would like to connect a switch to. OpenConnect communicates fine and I can see the work network from the Fedora machine. It creates a vpn0 tun/tap device and I don't know how to pass communication to/from the eth1 device.
Do I try to iptables the ports for the phone and services I need on the computer? Or do I build bridge; and If I do what am I bridging. I have tried making a bridge from eth1 to vpn0 which reply's with unsupported device or something like that.Unfortunately my network skills are bit limited and my office says "it can't be done". Their solution is for me to buy a ASA5505 (or something device) and have a static IP. I would have to make it work as my router and even then it will only DHCP 10 ip addresses; which will cause a shortage of IP addresses in the house.

I happened to Fedora 13 that the network manager does not indicate any wifi network and I had to turn off the notebook for a while and then recover, this also happened to me 2 or 3 times on ubuntu 10.04 too. my card is an Atheros AR5007EG.

I have my box setup as a router/NAT with two different network cards. One for external connection(connected to the Cable Modem) one for internal connection(used for internal DHCP). It works perfectly when I manually activate the two interfaces after booting(both interfaces always show up as inactive after booting), then the DHCP server and firewall. I am confused, however, by which program has control of these interfaces.
First, there is the Network Configuration (System->Administration->Network), which is where I manually start the interfaces after rebooting. Both interfaces are set to "Activate when computer starts" in here.
Second, Network Device control(System->Administration->Network Device Control), which looks to be almost the same thing as the above.
Third, the NetworkManager applet(on the top bar) - both devices show up as unmanaged when I left click on this, but if I set "Controlled by Network Manager" in the "Network configuration" window(number one above), It still does not work. Can I get rid of two of these programs, or is there some way to edit the startup scripts to start my ethernet cards before the dhcp server/firewall(which is shorewall BTW)?

On Linux Mint (Gnome) i used to go to Network drive. that is on the right hand side of Nautilus there is a short cut for Network. in there i could see my network hard drive and other laptops connected to the network, and i could access my files. but on OpenSuse, when i open the network folder, nothing comes up. may be it needs some sort of configuration.

I have the following problem:I have to networks in remote places.I have an opnvpn client in one network that connects to the the router (openvpn server).My question is,can i connect the network where the openvpn client is,throught the computer with the client to the other network.If yes,how? (please make it an idiot proof anwser because i have limited knowledge about iptables). I was thinking like forwarding (the router in the network with the openvpn client is also firewalling with iptables) the request of the ip class of the openvpn network to the computer with the client,which masquarades the interface

I have installed qemu/kvm and created a Bridged network connection which works just fine(Windows 7 VM won't work in NAT mode.)
But when I try to use NetworkManager it says that I have no network connection because the network isn't managed, (I set the settings in ifcfg-br0 and ifcfg-eth0 to be managed)
The real problem is that now I can't use my VPN connections (I have many) in NetworkManager.
Is there a way to have both of these pieces of functionality?
I am using FC14
