When I first installed my OS, Elive17, I had no problems connecting to my wireless connection at home. I scanned for networks, found our home network, typed in the key, and bingo! It still works. However, I can't connect to a open network at university. It's not encrypted, so I should be able to connect. What should I do?
View 1 RepliesI connect in Windows 7 just fine. I got University of Texas at Dallas.
I'd rather use Ubuntu all the time instead of booting up Windows. Plus my Windows is pretty slow.
Is there anyway for me to get around this?
I'm having trouble connecting to the internet here at A&M through Ubuntu. It's working fine on Windows 7. I tried using manual connection settings and copying the addresses over from windows 7 and it got a connection, but no internet, and i couldn't ping anything except localhost.

Now, the screen at my university pc is using an higher resolution than the one of my laptop, so I can see only part of the screen. How can I address this? so that I can see full screen? Also, RDP works quicker than VNC, is there any setting I could use to speed up VNC?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am facing an annoying problem with the wireless network of my university.The network is open, doesnt have wpa/wep, and once connected when requesting any page in the browser it gets redirected to a login page. Basically any pc running windows works fine, however if the os is linux-based than the pc connects just fine, it gets an ip, but the login page never loads. I have tried several browsers, several machines, even my android smartphone is locked out as well as all my friends running ubuntu, arch linux and others linux distros.The technical support never answered my email, and it's now 3 weeks that we are all without internet.

It doesn't seem to be a hardware problem, because if I configure my computer according to our computer department's instructions it works fine with Ubuntu (currently I carry around a stick to get into the Internet when I really need it and don't have a cable). Some info:
My device:
Broadcom WLAN controller on a Lenovo G560
My system:
OpenSUSE 11.3 64-bit
The drivers are installed, I can get into normal private networks, but have never managed to get into the university network except for with Ubuntu.
The university instructions tell me to use the following settings:
Security: WPA Enterprise
Authentification: TTLS
Inner Authentification: PAP
Username: My username
Password: Password
CA Certificate: Deutsche_Telekom_Root_CA_2.pem
In the KDE instructions, they tell you to write "anonymous" into the anonymous identity field, but in the GNOME instructions it says to leave it blank. In Ubuntu, I leave it blank and it works.
I've got the recommended settings, which also work in GNOME.
I'd ask the tech support here, but I am the tech support We've got it working with other systems, like I said, but not with SUSE, and I'm a SUSE fan.
I'm not able to connect to my university's internet facilities under openSUSE 11.4. I have been able to connect in the past and I am still able to connect in Windows 7.When I try to connect to the university WiFi, a valid IP address is assigned to me and the gateway address appears to be correct, so I don't see a problem in the DHCP negotations. Same with my university's Ethernet: I get a valid IP address, but I can't connect to the internet.When I browse to any site with Chromium/Chrome/ Firefox/lynx/curl, the page is stuck at "Sending request". I have tried disabling my firewall - that didn't solve anything.I don't know what else I can try and the campus' network administrators are puzzled. How can I resolve my issue?

The network (and a similar archetypical 'linksys' open network, aswell as some protected local networks are correctly displayed in network-manager and upon selection, it happily spins around to its hearts content for a while before saying 'no chance boy'.
/var/log/syslog spills out the usual combination of wpa_supplicant and kernel messages, the most interesting of are that the kernel deauthentication reason 6 response. 6 apparently means class2FrameFromNonAuthStation...Client attempted to transfer data before it was authenticated.
Anyone seen anything like this? I've already tried going closer to the router to no avail. I don't remember seeing this any other time I've connected to a open AP, even if that AP is far away. (Signal strength for this AP is good, kismet says its around -57dBm, well above the threshold of -80dBm, and I've tried all the suggestions from the 'Related Questions' code...
I have a server which I need to connect to and run a graphical program on. I know that you can do this with Open Text Exceed, but it's been years since I've done this and the last time I did it was on version 9. Unfortunately I only have a license for version 14 now and have no idea how to do this. how I can use Exceed to connect to my linux server?

We are a University and we have around 300 PCs. If came across Nominum do you think it is a good idea to use it at university?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem:
I am on Debian. I configured my nic with a static ip (192.168.1.56).
When I try to connect to a network, initially with ifconfig eth2 I get (correctly):
eth2 inet addr:192.168.1.56 ....
inet6 addr: fe80:221:ff:fe96:4598/64
but after a few seconds the 192.168.1.56 disappears and after some other seconds disappears the inet6 address too.
When I press in the nm-applet it requires me the password but in the meantime it try to connect.
At uni, the connection is a DHCP one. It works for the first few seconds but after it doesn't.
Any possible solution?
Here it is the relevant part of the syslog: (static ip configuration)

When using Fedora in VMWare, sometimes I can connect to the internet and sometimes I cannot. I do nothing differently on different days. I restart the machine and / or shut the machine down at the end of the day. When the machine starts back up the next time, I might have an internet connection or I might not have an internet connection. The 2 computer symbol that appears in the top will also sometimes be displayed. If I have that icon and click on it, it will display connections I can use including a sys one. I have a bridged connection chosen in VMWare also. Furthermore, when I click on the System -> Administration -> Network Device Control, 'eth0' is listed and it is listed as 'active'.
Yesterday I could ping out to a specific ip address on our network ( 192.168.1.xxx ). Now, I cannot ping that same ip address. I receive an error 'Destination host unreachable'.
How can I make it so that I have the internet connection every time I start up the machine? What do I need to check as far as the internet connection goes and the network connection?
So I have my new Dell Latitude 2100 (toy) on my network running Ubuntu 9.10 as delivered. I added openssh and the service is running. I can connect to the machine from another using Nautilus or Gnome Commander over ssh. However, I cannot connect from a shell(?)
ken@taylor12:~$ ssh taylor13
ssh: connect to host taylor13 port 22: Connection timed out
Firestarter shows a connection from taylor12 to taylor13 on port 22 - the Gnome Commander connection over which I am currently transferring some files.
I am behind a university http proxy (squid) server and all of my internet connections have to go through it. I haven't been able to find any setting in Evolution that allows me to specify my proxy settings.
Searching on Google, it suggested that evolution can't work behind proxies and works only with direct connections to the internet.
I wanted to know if there is any way round this problem. I tried posting the same question on gnome list and gnome hacking list and no reply has come so far.
I'm currently in distress because my Ubuntu system that has my university assignment doesn't work. Not only that, when I tried to fix it I managed corrupt the dual boot I had and now cannot login into either Windows 7 or Ubuntu (besides the USB tryout version which I'm currently on now.I'll try and describe what happened in the beginning. I was rushing to get to class so I needed to shut down my Ubuntu system quickly. The quickest way was to obviously hold down the off button however later when I got home to finish off my uni assignment I couldn't boot into linux! I just get a dos command line with the word grub on it.However not only did it not fix my problem I now can't boot into anything except from this Ubuntu Live CD.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI managed to install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client provided by my university (Ohio State) and successfully connect to the school's server ( vpn.service.ohio-state.edu). However, after I have connected, I cannot figure out how to get into this directory: \fc1student.mecheng.ohio-state.edustudentusername
The website (search "ohio state mechanical engineering vpn" in google = top non sponsored link result) says that this address must be entered in Windows Explorer; however, I am using Ubuntu 9.04, so I cannot use Windows Explorer (with the exception of WINE). I tried using the "connect to server" program listed under "Places", but have not had any luck. I also think the computers in the lab I'm trying to connect to are not using Samba. Any ideas on how I might connect to this location?
Mac OS X has built-in support for internet connection sharing through the settings as in the following screenshot:
This works very well with other Macs, but I'm having problems connecting to such a network using Linux. I tried all combinations of configuration, double- and triple-check the WEP password but could never get an IP address. In a last effort I also tried without encryption, but still couldn't get my Linux box connect to the network.
I don't know if Windows has the same problem. Now I'm suspecting two things. Either I misconfigured something in my Linux installation, or OS X is doing something smart and makes it difficult for non-Apple devices to use the network (I also tested with an iPhone, it connects very well, unsurprisingly). Now what is wrong? What do I have to do?
Tried the live boot of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my work PC today (it has Windows Vista on it and it is literally DEAD slow). There's a wireless network in the office and the PC has a wireless network card installed.
The problem was the following - I booted up Ubuntu, the "tray" was showing the network icon. I click on it, it shows me the list of all available wireless networks. I click on the one that belongs to our office, enter the password, click "Connect".
Now, here comes the problem - after "loading" for some three minutes, the same window pops back up. No errors, no messages, absolutely nothing. The password is correct because the Windows installation and the other PCs in the office can connect just fine. Anyone knows what could be the problem? The drivers are apparently fine if it can find the networks and detect the connection encryption correctly.
I have been trying to remotely access another computer (which is outside my local network) with ssh and have not succeeded. I've done everything I've seen nothing to suggest and as I opened port 22 on both computers, I have ssh configured so as to allow access from any computer (with password) and tried to log in using the external IP (the encounter with these online pages of "what is my ip"), I have a firewall turned off, the pc from which I agree is Fedora 14 that I want to access MacOS 10.5.8.
I need this because I'm running a very heavy program at the university that I can not run on my personal laptop, but do not want to have to go every day to college for this.
I am a LINUX newbie using Ubuntu. I love it so far but I am having issues. I cannot connect to the wireless network that I am using with my other Windows PC. The problem in my opinion is that the wireless device I use isn't operating. No light comes on the device. I am not sure how to "find hardware" with Ubuntu.
