General :: Connect A System Laptop To Windows Server?

Oct 8, 2009

I'm considering making the switch to Linux on my laptop, most likely to Ubuntu. However, I have a home server running on Windows 2003, is there any way I can connect my laptop on Ubuntu (or if there's a different version that would work) to this server?

General :: Windows 7 - HP Laptop, Corrupted Graphics, Not Booting Win System Board?

Aug 3, 2010

My friend has a HP Pavilion dv2699ea (dv2500 series - somehow *shrugs*) that has stopped working. It's a Core2Duo laptop with a Nvidia GPU. The unit is no longer under warranty. Problems first started a few days ago with the laptop showing corrupted graphics in Windows and BSOD'ing after a few minutes of use. I tried booting to an Ubuntu LiveCD which worked for a while before succuming and crashing as well. The freezing/graphics corruption/BSODing does seem somewhat heat related (CPU runs at ~95'c under load) however I believe that if it is heat related, then it's already damaged components inside.

Now the system has corrupted graphics on bootup[1], including booting Ubuntu[2], and neither operating systems will boot at all (Windows can sometimes get logged in before showing a black screen and becoming unresponsive. Ubuntu just looks like [3] after X starts). (See comment below for links.)

The fact the problem occurs both under Linux and Windows says to me this is not a driver issue. I have run Memtest which passed fine and none of this seems HDD related as I managed to get ~30GB of data off the system before it finally gave up the ghost.

She has been using it repeatedly without giving it adequate ventilation for years (i.e. on the bed, or on a pillow), so it's my opinion that the system board has probably warped over years of cooling/heating and that's causing this current problem. If that is the case, then I can buy a replacement system board and fit it myself, saving about £200 over the cost of an out-of-warranty HP repair. Of course, I don't want to make her spend £100 on a replacement part for it to be the wrong thing, hence asking for a second opinion here!

Hopefully I've covered all the bases here. I'm a former IT support guy myself, so I've tried all the dumb stuff (driver updates, examining memory dumps from BSODs [one 'unrecoverable hardware error', three relating to the graphics card], etc).

General :: Connect Server Via Windows CMD?

Sep 16, 2011

As we know, we can connect to a linux server on a linux or Unix system by typing "ssh username@domain.name.whatever". But it seems like we cannot do things like this by Windows Command Prompt. I mean we cannot connect to a Linux shell by a simple command right? Just want to make sure if this is impossible without installing extra tools(like sftpc or anything).

General :: Can't Connect To Windows Server 2003 R2

Feb 28, 2011

9.10 Ubuntu (Karmic) I could never connect from home using rdesktop, grdp, krdc, etc to the Windows Server 2003 R2 at the office: "Connection reset by peer" or the client simply remains "connecting to...", depending on the client used. Some days I work from home as if I'm sitting in front of my PC at the office.

So I used to boot in Win XP to run mstsc. But the XP partition doesn't boot anymore, no way to fix it, so I need to try the Ubuntu rdp clients.

I even installed a Win XP in a VM (VirtualBox), but now mstsc doesn't connect, it ends due to timeout (as if the Windos Server "knows" I'm not a windows family client)

I am absolutely sure I am entering the correct pass-phrase and ssid.

Fedora Networking :: Home Network - Can't Connect To Windows XP Laptop

Apr 1, 2009

Since I installed fedora on my desktop (there is no other OS on my desktop computer at the moment) I can't connect to my laptop which has Windows XP installed on it, although I can normally connect to internet from both computers. Here is the drawing to illustrate how everything is connected:

On the picture you can see that the phone line goes to the ADSL modem. The ADSL modem is connected to the Wireless modem with LAN cable. Wireless modem is connected to my desktop computer with LAN cable, and trough the wireless connection to the laptop. Internet is working fine for both computers, but desktop can't see laptop and vice versa. What do I need to do in order to see the laptop?

Ubuntu :: Can't Connect To Server Using Laptop Running XP

Oct 12, 2010

I had my Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Server working fine. I moved the location. The only change was the IP. I changed interfaces to reflect my new IP. Everything works except now I can not connect to my server using my laptop running XP. Before the move I had no problem connecting to the server with my laptop. Windows can see the server but will not connect. Can changing the server IP affect Samba?

General :: Windows - Best Operating System For Home Server?

Jun 28, 2010

I'm currently switching to a new laptop that will be my main machine and currently I use a laptop and a desktop on a daily basis. The laptop will continue to be used by another member of my family but the desktop will no longer have any use (well I might later build a new desktop but this one has finished his service).

The machine in question has:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ @ 2.4GHz
4x512MB DDR-400 (2GB Total)
Seagate 200GB SATA 7200RPM 8MB Cache Hard Drive
Geforce 6600GT 256MB GDDR3

Since I will no longer use it as a desktop/working machine I'd like to set it up as a home server. However I can't decide which OS to use for that. I have access to all Windows Versions since XP/2003 (with the exception of Windows Home Server) and I have some knowledge using both Windows and Linux so that's not a problem on my choice.

[Code]...

Ubuntu :: Old 48MB RAM Laptop - Connect To A Virtual PC On A Server

Mar 20, 2011

I have this old Toshiba Tecra 730CDT laptop, pretty useless with it's 150MHz Pentium processor and 48MB RAM. I am considering to throw it out for good. But, before I do it, I wanted to hear maybe it is still possible to use it:

1) perhaps there is some really thin linux distro that would let me to connect to a virtual PC on a server, transmit the mouse and keyboard events, and get the image and sound streamed back.

2) Maybe there is some other smart use of such gear, like installing it in car or something. I doubt it though, because it's heavy (8lbs~3.6Kg), bulky and energy-inefficient. But still... it's so hard to accept that such smart pile of electronic must go to the junk yard.

General :: Connect To An SFTP Server From A Windows Machine To A SFTP Server Using A DSA Key?

Jul 24, 2011

As a Windows user, I generated a pair of DSA keys from CoreFTP Lite and sent it to a third party that runs an SFTP server. They told me that a valid DSA key needs to have ssh-dsa at the start and the username@systemname at the end. CoreFTP generated neither the ssh-dsa header nor the username@systemname footer. I tried with WinSCP and it didn't generate them either. Is there a difference between how SFTP works between Windows and Linux? If I put a useraccount@systemname at the end of the text will it work? How would the Linux system validate that my system is called "systemname"? If it can't validate, what is the purpose of adding it?

Networking :: Connect System And Windows Machine Using Ssh?

Feb 10, 2010

I have two machines in different location, lets say machine A and machine B.

Machine A:
- Linux Red Hat OS.
- Has internet connection (no proxy).
- Has public IP.

Machine B:
- Windows XP OS.
- Has internet connection (with HTTP proxy).
- Has connection to machine C and machine D. Machine C and D don't have internet connection, but machine B can connect to those machines because machine B, C, and D are located in the same network.

I need to connect machine C and D via machine A. I heard it can be done using ssh between A and B, but I don't know the details.

General :: Connect Laptop To The Internet?

Jul 30, 2010

For how long I have suffered with ms. I have installed a couple of Linux versions 7-10 years back,and did not get very far with them, am still a newbie when I look at some of the stuff in Linux, but am willing to learn and am totally converted.

Am running
Laptop HP Pavillion dv6000
Mint 2.6.31-14 Generic
Modem Huawei E220

I have downloaded 9 files from: source code, exe x2, makefile, txt,and 2 shell script files. The exe files give me the msg "could not display file name etc" There is no app installed for exe files What dont I know and where can I find it. Would it be easier to take the machine to an internet cafe and plug in a cable to get it online, atm my other machine is a eee pc windows 7 starter and it has some weird stuff going on, says it has over 10 viruses? Anyway cant wait to get this over to Linux too.
