I am trying to monitorize an OpenWRT (Backfire 10.03, r23115) router from an Ubuntu server, but I am having some problems. I have installed Nrpe (2.12) on the remote host (OpenWRT), I have executed the program as a deamon (/usr/sbin/nrpe -d) but when I start the NRPE deamon, I don't get anything about NRPE executing netstat -at or ps -ef.I would need to install check_nrpe on OpenWRT to find out if NRPE is working, but I can't find any ipk package with it. Now, once in the monitoring host when I try to reach the remote host from the server:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H ip_remote_host
I get: Connection refused by host
Even, trying with localhost:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
I get the same error: Connection refused by host
I have installed Nagios Plugins and the check_nrpe plugin. I have edited the /etc/nrpe.cfg file:
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1 ip_server
I don't exactly know if it is remote host's fault, monitoring host's fault or both.
I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu Desktop. When I do a "lsusb" I can see the device present but the light is not on and I cannot see the wireless router.
Amazing that I can be at version 11.04 and it still doesn't see a wireless device and install it.
So, my guess is that I have to root around about 5 different places and gather up a bunch of files so I can get this running.
story is my brother is a dindows lover (gamer) and hes been gettin attacked by virus's,etc cause he runs his Vista setup with no firewall or antivirus
He says the firewall,etc slows down the PC too much for gaming He doesnt want to use Linux as his games wont play on Linux as on dindows
He wants to know if you can install a Linux firewall/gateway or whatever into his Linksys WRT54GC router and thus protect his PC without using a firewall or av in it.
EDIT: precisely; he has a Linksys wireless-G connected to a always-on Verizon Westel 6100G modem so its a wired connection, not wireless
I would like to buy a wireless router that also has a USB connection for a NAS. As NAS I would connect an external HD that has both Linux and NTFS/FAT32 partitions. I am looking for a simple way to share photos, music etc. between computers (some running XP, other FC12), but would prefer to also have access to the Linux partitions from the Linux machines. I was wondering which routers would give access to both file systems. Does anyone know whether Cisco Linksys E3000 [URL] can do this?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am having problems connecting to my new router. It just does not appear in the list of connections under Network Manager. It is not a problem with my laptop's wireless adapter as I can connect to another wireless router. It is also not a problem with the router itself - my Nintendo Wii can pick it up over Wi-Fi and use it and that is further away from the router. It also works if I ethernet it straight into the laptop.The router was provided by Sky Broadband and is a D-Link, pretty standard type of ADSL router with four ethernet ports, wireless and telephone cable socket. I am using the default settings for the SSID and network key, as well as the encryption type (WPA).Ubuntu version = 10.04. The wireless adapter is a very standard issue onboard Intel device but as I say, I can connect to my old Belkin wireless router no problem.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi recently had to switch routers because my old one didnt work anymore. i have a dual boot machine with win7 for games and natty narwhal (64-bit) for everything else. i'm quite new to ubuntu, i know how to navigate the menu, change settings, install things, just the basic stuff. i dont know how to use the terminal yet except some basic commands for installing and updating software.
after my router swap, my connection for windows was back, although i had to pull out the network cable and plug it back in for this to happen. unfortunately my connection in ubuntu is still gone. i see the connection in network manager, but i cant access the internet through it. i tried setting up a new one with the same settings, to no avail. i connect to the internet directly through my router. i tried finding some documentation for it but havent had luck with that. is there some way to reset the connection? or let ubuntu set up a new one like when i'm doing a fresh install? i think that ubnuntu still thinks i'm using the old router and that this is the cause for the connection fail.
I fixed my overscan problem from last time by installing Ubuntu V9.04, the newest version for the PS3. And now I am trying to connect to the internet. Ubuntu does not detect my Buffalo Wireless - G High speed router. I have contacted the Buffalo support and they said that their router is not compatible with Linux. How Can I get Ubuntu to go on the internet? Can I try plugging and connecting the PS3's Ethernet port to my router/modem or will I have to buy a new router entirely? If I have to, what routers out there support Windows, Mac and Linux?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm still kind of a linux newb, so I might just be missing a little bit of knowledge here, but I've been having some real problems getting my machine to connect to my wireless network under Ubuntu 9.04.
Here are my basic specs:
Intel Pentium™ 4 CPU @2.66 GHz
1.5 GB RAM
3 HDDs: 1 40GB Maxtor internal, 1 320GB WD internal, 1 160GB Maxtor USB external.
OSes: Windows XP Home Edition (on Maxtor internal drive) Ubuntu 9.04 (on WD internal drive)
I don't think my video card would make any difference, so I won't list it on here...
Anyway, what happens is I try to connect (I select the network SSID from the pull-down list in the NetworkManager panel menu), and it seems to connect okay to the router, but I can't get out to the net. I can pull up a terminal and ping the router's address, but I get a "Destination Host Unreachable" message. It's as if, to the computer, the router isn't even there on that level, but it can still somehow connect to it.
Now, here's the strange part. If I reset the router from another (Windows) computer on the network (specifically, the one with a wired connection to it), then I can connect just fine and I can get out to the internet.
Even if you don't know specifically, but have some good ideas as to what might work, that's fine too. I hate having to do this every day, as it affects everyone's internet connection. Granted, it's not like I'm in a strict business situation with tons of machines and multiple access points, but there are 3 of us in the house and we all share internet access from the same router (as I'm sure most people do), and I feel kind of guilty having to interrupt everyone's connection, if even only for about 30 seconds just so I can get a net connection under Linux.
Windows connects to the router/internet just fine, btw. No problems there. I'm also using a NetGear WN111 USB wireless adapter, with the Windows drivers under ndiswrapper.
Previously posted under "Wireless Connection Can't Even Ping Router".I've been using Ubuntu for two years. About a year ago I switched to Kubuntu because I prefer the KDE desktop. Two weeks ago I bought a new laptop: Dell Vostro v13. I installed Kubuntu 9.10 from the live CD and everything worked! Well, almost. I also set up a home wireless network with a new Belkin N+ router from WalMart. When I try to connect to my router, the Plasma Network Manager reports that I'm connected and the assigned IP address, but I'm not truly connected! I can't even ping my own router, all packets are lost.
This problem is intermittent, sometimes I connect fine. I dual-boot with Windoze7 and it connects without problems. Also, if I connect with Windoze, then re-boot into Kubuntu, it seems to "wake-up" the connection somehow and it works. I might also add that I connect without difficulty to other routers in my neighborhood, at work, in airports, etc.My old laptop was also running Kubuntu 9.10, and it connected to the Belkin router without problems, although it was a different wireless card and driver. I also tried Ubuntu 9.10 from the live CD and it also reported a connection, IP address, etc. I couldn't ping the router from that connection either!
Dual boot Vista Basic and Ubuntu 10.04 on low spec PC. I can connect to the wireless when I am next to it. I move to the room where the computer is normally used and I lose connection. I can still see it but it fails to establish a connection. Okay, sounds like it's just too far way but when I re-boot and use Vista, it works fine (1 or 2 bars, but it works). Is this a driver issue? Anything I can do apart from move my wireless router?
View 9 Replies View Relatedi'm totally new to Linux and Ubuntu. I own a huawei 3g modem through which I connect to the internet. I plan to share the internet from that connection between my Vista pc and another pc running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. The computer I plan to use to share the internet, let me call it Server, is equalling running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. My Server perfectly recognises my modem and connects to the internet using it and I can browse.
I plan to connect the routers internet port to my Server using my servers network card. Then i intend to let the router do the sharing of the internet to the other computers on its own. I don't have any idea how to go about doing this. Originally, I tried a direct connection between my Server and the other pc running Lucid Lynx without bothering with the router and using the following settings which i found on an online tutorial:
Server ip 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
and no gateway
then on the client
client ip 192.168.0.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
I used open DNS servers for the DNS
However, i was unable to browse the internet from the client even though a connection between the two was established. Then I thought to myself, why go through this trouble, I have a router so why not go ahead and use it. But then I do not know how to do that. Using the router will enable me to effortlessly connect all my computers irrespective of operating system and ease the network creation process.
Every time I turn on my ubuntu box, it somehow kills our internet connection... yes, even through the router. The internet will not work until I call tech support and they run a line test. Then it works again as if by magic. I'm at a loss. A friend suggested maybe ubuntu is trying to establish itself as the dhcp server on the network? I have ubuntu 9.04, 32-bit, workstation.

I can connect to the wireless router, however. Same problem for the Apple Macs in the house. We called Dlink. The fix for a Mac was to add DNS servers (4.2.2.2) under TCP/IP But there doesn't seem to be anywhere to specify a DNS server in Ubuntu.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been at this the last 3 hours now or so. I am not a very good with Linux, I am fine with all other areas. I have this laptop, with a Intel Pro 2200BG card. The idea was to install a lxde lightwieght on it and use PCLINUXOS, because its "easy". This computer is for internet browsing and thats it. Under the Network Center -- I can see all networks, including neighbours. When I try to connect to my router via Wireless, I get connection failed over and over.
I then tried doing all the following:
Changing the router from WEP to, WPA, WPA2 personal, WPA2 Enterprise
Changing the SSID, broadcasting to ON, changing the SSID name
I've used various different passwords, and reset the router now about 50 times. I am connecting to my Router (as Ive changed the SSID and noticed it picks up the new name). (Yes I can see the correct MAC addreess). Yes I am on the right channel, all good here.
My Nintendo DS is connecting fine with all the changed settings now. The wireless card worked fine under Windows XP (However I just removed the operating system since I really had no need for it). I've tried every other mode, it works wired. Like I had explained above, I downloaded a what I thought was an easy verison (distro), I was really hoping to get away from the crazy windows life with crazy errors and instability.
I did try enabling display log, and doing it manually by adding a connection, etc. The log tells me about as less would a windows event log: it says
Problems occurred during the network connectivity test
This can be caused by invalid network config or problems w/ your momde / router
Reluanch, etc.
I can connect to the internet fine with wvdial and wvdialconf; heck I am even posting from my PCLinuxOS FM Distro. I want to setup an ethernet connection between two PC's, one running PCLOS 2010.11 FullMonty and the other Knoppix 6.2.0. Knoppix is fine and setting up a connection is simple but with PCLOS I have been having many problems trying to set it up. I tried using the drakconnect tool but it did not work. I tried assigning it a static IP Address but the other PC would still not pick it up and to to it all I keep getting the same error message about problems during the network connectivity test!
The problem isn't with thew new computer but with my computer running Ubuntu. The problem is that I'm having trouble getting the Internet to work. Before the router I just plug my PC straight into the modem but now with the router I can't get on the Internet. I can get a connection to the router but no Internet. I know the it is not the router because I use my PS3 and it worked fine. I spend like an hour just trying to get the connection but can't figure out the Internet problem. What I did to get the connection is copy the ip address, Mac, and etc. from the PS3. Then I made a new connection and put the data in the IPV4 settings and it got a connection but I'm not sure if I did that right or just got lucky
