Is there a way to have linux connect to the network when the ethernet cable is plugged in? I'm using Gentoo Linux, and I haven't found the right setup for the conf/net that'll allow me to do that.

For the most part, the network cable will be plugged in and i should be able to rdp into my windows 2000 install just fine, however, for testing purposes and for backup server testing, I will not have the cable plugged in all of the time.How would I rdp into that windows 2k install on the same machine if no cable is plugged into the ethernet port?I have both the kubuntu install and the windows 2k install setup with static ip's, but it is not working.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been encountering this problem, not only on 10.4, but on older versions too: I use a wifi router to connect my laptop to the Internet, but sometimes I need to connect directly to another computer to move some files over GLAN. But Ubuntu's Network manager doesn't allow me to configure the eth0 interface without specifying a gateway (no gateway = grey submit button), but when a gateway is specified, it always rewrites the default gw specified already by the active wifi connection and returns back after unplugging the eth cable.
Of course this can be solved by a few route commands, but this is unacceptable since it is needed to establish the cable connection without any further assistance from within and as well without replacing the default gw and thus breaking the Internet connection. Is there, please, any possibility how to prevent Network Manager from replacing these routes?
For about the past month I have been having a very frustrating problem When I boot the system with the ethernet cable attached it acts as if the cable is unplugged even though the connection light is litWhen I boot the system with the ethernet cable disconnected and wait until it boots all the way to gnome and then plug in the cable everything works fine
View 1 Replies View RelatedI used my computer this morning, but when I returned this evening, I am unable to reach the internet. Also the light on the mobo where the ethernet cable is plugged in is steady yellow.
My limited experience would tell me it is a hardware failure, but it seems so strange with nothing happening during the day. How might I best diagnose the problem?
I want connect my two Linux PCs running in 2.6 kernel via cross over cable. To do this I have done the following settings after a Google search:
In PC1
ifconfig eth0 10.10.11.16 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add default gw 10.10.11.13 eth0 (default gateway which is ip of pc2 )
In PC2
ifconfig eth0 10.10.11.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add default gw 10.10.11.16 eth0 (default gateway which is ip of pc1 )
Then i tried pinging i could not able to connect.Are these above settings enough or any thing am i missing?
For your more information
In PC1
ifconfig output
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:76:A1:33:37
inet addr:10.10.11.16 Bcast:10.10.11.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I am working on h/w device having linux kernel version 2.6.27 with busybox installed. I observed below problems while working on jffs2 image is flashed on the board.
1)When the board is powered-up with n/w cable is connected, it doesn't get IP address automatically, I have to use "/etc/init.d/networking restart" in init script(/etc/init.d/rcS) to get the IP address.(I am using dynamic addressing)
2)When the board is powered-up with n/w cable is unplugged and plugging-in once the device is started, I get "link up" message from the system, but still the IP is missing in eth0 interface.
I have udhcpc(v1.14.1) installed. Giving below commands manually, get the IP for device:
Code:
ifdown eth0
/etc/init.d/networking restart
but It is not pretty solution for me !
What I want is, the device should get IP address automatically once the n/w cable is plugged-in. (as we get in desktop m/c's). Am I missing some scripts or configuration parameters?
Just moved over to openSUSE 11.4 (KDE) from Ubuntu, yesterday. However, I'm having some trouble with my wireless connection.
I have a wireless network with a hidden SSID and WPA2-PSK security. I entered all the nescery information into the KDE network manager, but it couldn't find my network. So I ran the usual command:
Code:
su -c iwlist wlan0 scanning essid [My SSID]
At which point, the network manager immediately found, and connected to, the network. However, it seems that I have to run this command (as root) each time I log in, before my laptop will connect to the network. The network manager has no problem find the plethora of unsecured networks as well as those that are secure, but broadcast their SSID.
When the ethernet cable is plugged in, it doesnt work. I have to unplug the cable, refresh the page and let it wait for the connection, after a second or two, i plug it back in, and it works. this works only for that page, which means only that page loads.. if i try to open another site or smthing else, it doesnt work and i have to repeat the exercise for the new site..i have to unplug, refresh and let it wait for connection and plug it back in.. The same thing happens if i try to download an application.. i have to first issue the command to download, and when it says "connecting to blah blah.." i plug the cable back in and it starts downloading, it doesnt work if the cable is already plugged it..!

what could be causing wireless to disconnect when ethernet cable is unplugged?
I am trying to get my tevii650 usb DVB-S2 tuner working. I seem to have installed all the correct drivers as far as I can tell.
When I scan for services and then use femon to look at the signal strength femon -H, I get a signal of around 83% with 0 SNR and BER. Then if I remove the feed the signal goes UP to 97% 0SNR and BER.
I am trying to monitor signal the signal level coming down from the satellite. I don't even want to be able to tune to any of the channels. Basically I want to use the PC as a glorified signal meter and datalogger.
Acer 5250-BZ475 laptop, fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. Boots up beautifully as long as an ethernet cable is plugged in. Otherwise, I get to the login screen and have just enough time to start typing in my password before the entire system hangs hard - no mouse, no keyboard, can't even get to a terminal, nothing. Have to hard power off the machine.
It seems to be a problem with the wireless card trying to initialize, but there doesn't seem to be a bios option to disable wireless on this laptop, so I'm a bit at a loss as to how to fix this problem. By the way, wireless works fine if I boot up with a cable connected - I can see all the wireless access points in my area no problem. I just can't boot without a wired connection, which makes my laptop more or less useless when I'm away from home with it.
I was recently asked to get a 3G ZTE 633 modem (not in stores) to connect to the internet whenever it was plugged in. I had it successfully working on my Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon machine but it does not work on Fedora 10 which is where it is required to work. When the 3G modem is plugged in I use a Udev rule to run usb_modeswitch which changes it from being in usb storage mode to being in modem mode. This part works fine. I then run a second udev rule (on the modem device), this should run a script which connects to the internet. Unfortunately it falls over here. The script does run but it will not connect. However if I run the script manually from root it works fine. I guess that it is a permissions issue.
The device permissions are:
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 2009-04-26 11:31 ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 1 2009-04-26 11:31 ttyUSB1
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 2 2009-04-26 11:31 ttyUSB2
The script and script folders permissions are:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4.0K 2009-04-26 11:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4.0K 2009-04-26 11:13 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95 2009-04-26 11:46 run_internet
One thing to note is that there are three udev devices associated with the modem. They are ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2. I use ttyUSB2 to talk to the modem when connecting. Here are the files. If you require any more let me know:
The first udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2000", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", RUN+="/usr/bin/usb_modeswitch"
The second udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0031", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", MODE="0666", RUN+="/outputs/run_internet"
The script:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo script
/usr/bin/wvdial &
cp -f /etc/telstra_resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
The wvdial config file:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = ATS7=60 S30=0 S0=0
Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","telstra.internet"
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 9600
New PPPD = no
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2
ISDN = 0
Dial Command=ATD
Phone = *99#
Password = user@bigpond.com
Username = password
Stupid Mode = 1
So what am I missing? I suppose it is related to device permissions. Why does the "mode" command not work? With what rights do udev rules run?

View 2 Replies View Relatedhave problems with my Intel 82566MM gigabit NIC. Using the default e1000e module. The module finds and load the nic but it doesn't recognize that i have plugged in cable or not. It always says "cable not plugged in". Using xubuntu now but same problem with regular ubuntu not that i think it matters. I tried downloading and installing e1000 from Intel but it doesn't seem to find the nic at all.
Any suggestions how to work this out? My googling says others too have had problems with this card. Couldn't find any real working solution though. Its Lenovo Thinkpad T61 laptop. Using 10.10 Maverick btw.
I have two shares in total and there are also two external hard drives. The server is used by two different organisations that are not supposed to have access to the data of the other one(at least not as normal users).he script I need should run in the background of the server and when a drive is plugged in, it should check, which organization the drive belongs to, and depending on who the drive belongs to, backup the respective share.When the drive belong to neither, it should just do nothing.Unfortunately, I have no clue about scripting and so this makes writing a script like that, at least for me, impossible.So I wanted to know if somebody could name some good websites for learning to write such a script or give tips.

2. If I mount manually my CD disk and then press the eject button on my drive nothing happens until I manually unmount the drive. But I want it to open immediately
