I installed slackware 13.1 to my laptop.I i use my e220 HSDPA usb dongle to connect internet.I previously i used ubuntu and it auto detected and connect to internet.But i could not connect with slackware .
I tried it and i got following output
Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt.
Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best.
But its not connecting to internet.
I have installed slackware 13 but I am not able to connect to wired internet connection from BSNL in slackware while this connection is working fine in Fedora,Opensuse,Mandriva,Debian and Windows-XP.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI successfully installed the latest version of slackware, but much to my chagrin it does not auto-connect itself to the internet like my crunchbang does. I read a little from ch.5 of the slackware book, so I know what command to run, but I don't know what to do after running netconfig. I'm using crunchbang right now to get access to the forums, so I know my internet works with this computer. I tried to set up a DHCP connection, but that didn't do anything. So I have two questions:
1.) How do I tell if I have a Static-IP, DHCP, or Loopback connection?
2.) Can I use Crunchbang to get the information I will need, since it connects to the internet like a pro?

I would like to get that working with Slackware 12.1. The usb_modeswitch seems to be working fine and also the "wvdial cdma" seems to working but Firefox can't connect to the internet.

Will do hard disk installation after learning more in virtualbox..But, I see now that I can't connect to the internet in the virtualbox... The host OS is Windows 7 and Virtualbox guest additions are installed and configured too.

I know next to nothing about slackware and wireless networks since I have never had to mess with it. I have done my reading and have gotten this far.
1) wirelss card is installed and recognized, its a PCI b/g card that uses the ath5 module. The module is loaded and seems to be working.
2) I have heard wicd is easy so I installed it from /extra and it found my essid and accepted the wep password and it says connected at 45% and shows an IP.
however when I launch firefox or try to ping out nothing happens.
Recently i install slack ware 13.1 KDE into my laptop.Before that i used Ubuntu genome as my Os.
I am using my mobile broadband dongle to connect Internet.In the Ubuntu gnome, network manager applet appear and with that i can easily connect to Internet.
But in the slack ware KDE i couldnt find any way to connect my dongle.
I am running Slackware -current. Every thing was working fine and suddenly it stopped. I am unable to connect to the router or the internet. Which is a problem since I'm using it right as a server.

I'm running Linux 2.6.39.3, and when I upgraded to 3.0 by Mr. Hamaleers page here:
[URL]
Everything worked fine. My computer was working too, but my internet wasn't. Since it works on the original kernel, I know that maybe it's something I was supposed to install as part of "make [variable]config" The network icon is there, but it doesn't connect automatically as 2.6.39.3 does if that helps as a part of the description.
I installed the new Slackware 13.1 64 on my laptop and I am trying to connect to the internet via a wireless network but i don't what is wrong with my configurations it just doesn't work.
I tried doing the following:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "ESSID"
iwconfig wlan0 key "Password"
iwconfig wlan0 channel NUMBER
Then i do dhcpcd -d but then no success after - i try to ping some sites, no reply, i put new dns servers in resolv.conf, still no results, i tried to ping some ips and it says network unreachable, it just doesn't work at all.
I did iwlist wlan0 scanning and it found all the wireless networks, so the adapter is not the problem, the problem here is the procedure. How to do it properly so it will work ? I can connect via ethernet by easy configuring eth0 but i have no success for wireless networks. I read everything there was on google, i searched a lot of sites, i tried a lot of different methods but NONE of it worked.
I have one pc on which I have installed slackware and samba (fixed IP, mask 255.255.255.0) I have another PC (also XP) which also has fixed IP running XP, and I can connect that to the slackware server easily My third PC connects to the internet and gets its IP address from the Cisco router(?) that provides the IP and mask on boot up.
I tried changing the IP and Mask on the slackware server to match the internet PC (which uses a mask 255.255.254.0) but the PC mask and IP changed on the internet PC I want the PC that connects to the internet to also be able to connect to the slackware server, but I see no need for the slackware server to also connect to the internet - I will mainly use it as a file server When I worked for another company I think the IT department talked about having 2 network cards in the PC that connects to the internet
1. I can connect to my slack 13 laptop via PuTTY on my GF's windows laptop. Can I actually copy things from my laptop to her machine using 'scp', or is PuTTY just used for browsing my linux filesystem on a windows machine? Google has been telling me about some software called 'WinSCP', which can copy files over, but I was just wandering if i can do this anyway using PuTTY?
2. The first time i did connect to my laptop from my GF's laptop (and also my ubuntu desktop) I get the warning about the host key is not cached in client machine("the server's rsa2 key fingerprint is: ssh-rsa XXXX xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx: etc etc). I understand why this happens, but I have no idea where to find this value on my host laptop. I can find the actual key, but not the fingerprint (i.e. the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" etc). i blindly typed "yes" to get SSH working?
3. When i connect from the internet (rather than over my home network) will i need some kind of 'shell login account' to do this cuz i dont have a static IP. ie i'd like to do 'ssh tom@myAccount.com' rather than 'tom@123.432.32.23'? Where or how can i make this happen?
I bought a HP2133 mini note pc which runs on linux. I have never used it before so i'm unsure about it, but i've done the basic set up on it but it's won't connect to the internet!

View 7 Replies View RelatedAfter being fed up of all the problems I have had with Windows, I have just installed Mandrake Linux and everything seems OK apart from the fact that I can't connect to the internet. I presume it's because I have not got the relevant driver (or have not configured it if it's there) My machine was previously running Windows and all the disks I have are for Windows.
I have looked in my manual and it says I have a K8NBP GRAND (I think that's the motherboard, you'll see that I don't really know a lot!!) The manual also says Gigabit Ethernet LAN : NVIDIA Gigabit MAC + VITESSE Gigabit PHY - Supports 10/100/1000Base- T Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet. When I was running Windows I just had a network cable running out of the back of the PC connected to one of the LAN sockets on my router. I am currently having to use my wife's laptop (which runs on yet another OS but at least it connects to the internet or I'd be really stuffed).
I suddenly cannot connect to the internet from work and at home with my laptop. Both ethernet and wireless won't work. I still get an IP address, and can also ping it, but cannot ping other addresses. What befuddles me that it happened today at work and at home, that it worked fine at both places before, and that I just connected to the internet yesterday at an airport. I have not installed any new programs, nor have we changed our internet provider etc. My girlfriend's laptop (Windows -- gnnn) still can connect to the internet without problems.
View 8 Replies View Relateda friend of mine recently wiped my computer (windows XP) and installed Linux. The internet provider is Comcast cable. I have not ever had a problem connecting w/ windows XP but now I can't connect to the internet.I've spent hours on the phone w/ IT at Comcast and they tell me that I have connection to their modem and I also have a valid IP number. They seem to think that it could be something as simple as a setting, somewhere in the program and advised me to contact Linux for a solution. I am anxious to use Linux as my friends rave about the performance and all the 'bells & whistles' so the speak.
I have since, reinstalled windows XP (because I need to use the internet a lot, but can't get connected to the internet with it either.Again Comcast shows that I have connection to their modem and I have a valid IP address, but still can not connect to the internet. They seem to think that since all other variables remain constant except for the installing of Linux that the problem lies somewhere in that install.
I have just finished installing Fedora 10 on my machine and I have it connected to the internet via ethernet cable. The problem is it wont connect at all for some reason.
I click on the green Activate button in network configuration to see if it does anything but I keep getting this AVC denial error. I don't even understand what the problem is:

So I play around in the settings and put this SELINUX thing to permissive but the thing still pops up, so it didn't help:

The only other thing I messed around with is the DNS server; I put two DNS servers in those boxes, and I got those from the people in charge so it shouldn't be wrong.
I have a problem with my system with Ubuntu 10.04 UNR not being able connect to Panera hotspots.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen 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?
I have an Internet connection problem. The computer I'm using which is running Red Hat Enterprize Linux Server cannot connect to Internet. I can ping machines working in our local network. Static IP addresses, DNS, Default Gateway, Subnet mask, they all seem to be correct. I restart network interfaces but that doesnt make any difference. Other machines in our local network are connecting to Internet without any problem.

I've been told a couple of solutions that I couldn't access due to safe mode just going into a BSOD.
So I found Knoppix and it's great. but it won't connect me to the Internet. I use a router and it detects the connection i use. I click on it and type in my WEP key which I know is correct and it tries connecting. After a few seconds the screen pops in again asking me for my WEP key again.
Anyone know how I can connect to the Internet?
I am unable to connect to the internet. I have Motorola Netopia DSL (NO router) and can't connect to the internet in ANY linux distro (openSUSE, fedora, slax, mandriva, simplymepis, mint, dreamlinux, ubuntu, ubuntu studio, artist linux). The only linux distro that works right away is backtrack linux 3. All other distro do not work including new back track linux 4 because in version 4 they switched to debian. My ISP is Bellsouth and they do not want to cooperate. I was told they do not support linux.
DSL shows internet and activity lights green but it does not connect.It seems to me problem is in eth0 because when I go to terminal and ifup eth0 it gives me can't assign requested address. I have dynamic DHCP and can't assign static address.I have 2 questions:
1.- How to connect to the internet?
2.- As I said above backtracklinux 3 works out of the box but doesn't have flash.How to install flash in backtrack linux 3 so I can play chess on Yahoo games and [URL]?
I run all linux distros from live CD/DVD from external DVD drive except fedora which is on C: drive.I did try to run already network devices, dsl configuration without any results If I can go to my modem thru browser address 192.168.1.254 I would be able to solve the problem but I always get message can't connect to server.
I just installed Debian 6.0.1a on an old laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000) and I can't get it to connect to my wireless internet.I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a separate partition on the same machine, and it has no problem connecting to the internet.

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.
