In Ubuntu 9.10 I configured manually network settings to /etc/network/interfaces, and it works fine when I run /etc/init.d/networking restart.
Problem is that those settings are not loaded to GUI application (Preferences/Network connections).
I don't want to edit my preferences there, I just want to use my interfaces file as default! Do you know what's going on?
I'm building up a server based on 8.04 LTS. It's using OpenVZ, and as part of that it creates a virtual network interface venet0. I add a stanza to /etc/network/interfaces that looks like this:
Code:
allow-hotplug venet0
iface venet0 inet static
address 10.53.35.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
[Code].....
Looking further, I note that /etc/init.d/networking is not symlinked into anything other than the rcS.d directory. It's been a while since I've been tinkering at this level, but I understand that there should be a symlink from rc2.d/Sxxnetworking into ../etc/init.d/networking. So I wonder where eth0 is getting configured.
I'm on an embedded system that doesn't have Gnome, and I'm trying to startup networking automatically using /etc/network/interfaces. Here's what I have.
[Code]....
eth0 comes up just fine. wlan0 comes up, but it's unable to acquire a DHCP address. I added the following lines to /etc/rc.local, and wlan0 comes up all the way, but I'm not too crazy about this hack.
[Code]....
If I try to add a new interface (eth1) to /etc/network/interfaces, I get
Code:
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
[Code]...
How do I add 2 interfaces and get anyone of them to work, as available ?
I'm running squeeze testing. I have noticed an issue with the way NetworkManager acts when the wireless connection is dropped. I believe it should automatically reconnect but it immediately puts up a dialog requesting me to enter the wifi password. This dialog stays indefinitely until I intervene and click "OK" (the password from the previous successful connection is still there). I would think that something as basic as wireless networking should not require 24 hour human interaction to stay connected. I have considered a cron job checking the network status and restarting it if necessary, but there is a configuration change or something else I can do to resolve this.

However, I wanted to automate the connection a bit (currently I am running wvdial every time I want to connect).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm often on my corporate network but also need to be on another network simultaneously. At the moment I have to manually switch back and forth between the two. I'm using ubuntu 10.04. I've come across an excellent document that explains how to do this: "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO" by Bart Hubert. He mentions:
make sure that your kernel is compiled with the "IP: advanced router" and "IP: policy routing" features
I've downloaded the kernel sources, but I don't find any config options with names like these in them.
sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
Searching doesn't reveal anything
~/kernelBuild/linux-2.6.35/debian.master$ grep -iR policy . | grep -i routing
~/kernelBuild/linux-2.6.35/debian.master$
So my question is...how can I tell if the kernel I have has these config options. Failing that, how do I build a kernel that does support these things?
Additional use cases for this knowledge. (1) At work with desktop computer plugged into corporate network. Plug 3g phone into USB port. My corporate network wont allow me to access my external servers over ssh, but the 3g phone will. (2) At home on the corporate VPN, but would like to access my other local network computers.

I just updated both my KDE 3.5.10 and KDE 4.5 today (OpenSuse 1.11). The problem that I have now is that the Plasma Desktop is loaded automatically after KDE 3.5 has started. So, depending on where I click or what I do, plasma and kdesktop fight for the control of my desktop.
I searched in every corners of my KDE 3.5 --and a bit in KDE 4 since somebody forced kdm4 on me-- but I haven't found who or what starts "plasma-desktop". Definitively not me! I can kill it safely but that's very irritating.
Is it possible to route different applications through different network interfaces?
Let's say (hypothetically) I want to route /usr/bin/thunderbird through vlan0 but /usr/bin/firefox through eth0.
Is there a way? And if so, is there a graphical tool for it as well?
I have two physical NICs (eth2 & eth3) with eth2 connecting to the home router/dhcp server and eth3 connecting to another machine which needs access to the internet. I'm trying to create a bridge so that the second machine on eth3 can be connected on the lan. I've tried the following, however it hangs when attempting to get an IP address from the router. Likewise, attempting to give it a static route doesn't seem to work either.
$ sudo aptitude install bridge-utils
$ sudo ifconfig eth2 down
$ sudo ifconfig eth3 down
$ sudo brctl addbr br0
$ sudo brctl addif br0 eth2 eth3
$ sudo dhclient br0 # this hangs and fails to get a dhcp address
I've tried to ensure my routing table mimics what it looks like when using eth2 normally, I cannot hit the gateway at all.
$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 br0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0
I attempted an 'arping' to the MAC address of the router while I had eth2/3 bridged, but it failed to obtain it's IP address as well. One interesting thing I noticed was that attempting to bring down the bridge & reactivate my internet on eth2, I was having trouble pinging the gateway. It turned out 'ipmasq' had been installed and was running causing odd problems. When I stopped the ipmasq service, my internet started working properly again. I removed the 'ipmasq' package entirely and tried bridging the NICs again thinking it may have been causing problems, but it still failed.
I want to get a list of all available Network-Device Names on my Linux server. I figured that
netstat -a
would do the job, however netstat produces quite much output:

Using Fedora 10, can anyone tell me how to setup the network scripts to create two network interfaces for vlan x and y. Both interfaces should obtain an ip from dhcp and both interfaces should run over eth0.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10, the box has 2 network interfaces. I've got rsyslogd running on this box also. On one of the interfaces I have a VoIP ATA which I've configured to send syslog messages to the ubuntu box, however they're not coming up in the log file (I've configured syslogd.conf to capture logs for local2.debug and local3.debug).
rsyslogd seems to be working ok for data coming through on the other interface, but not this one. I've verified the ATA is sending data by using tcpdump and have confirmed it's using local2.debug and local3.debug. It seems perhaps it might not be listening on all interfaces? rsyslog is running with the -c4 switch.
I have a dell d800 laptop using a hp 802abg nic and it doesn't properly initialize until gnome desktop is loadedI'm using 128 bit key and a hidden network name.I would like to have wireless networking running before /etc/rc.local is executed at boot time to connect to nfs shares.after gnome is loaded and I login to user account, wireless networking starts and connects.When I set inittab to 3 and boot machine, ifconfig and iwcfg report card doesn't exist, when I then telinit 5 and start x/gnome card gets properly setupis it possible the card doesn't get initialize3ed because the network key needs to be entered in a file somewhere that the boot sequence can access it and init the card properly?

Also the rt2870 version from the ralink website didn' t work. After a days worth of Googling I came across this post. The bottom line?
1. Download rt3572 from the Ralink website.
2. Add {USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0079)}, /* WUSB600N v2 */ to common/rtusb_dev_id.c
3. Follow README_STA

I have three VMs (VMWare Server 2) all running Ubuntu Server 10.04. (one I asked to be a samba share from the outset, the others are blank server installs, no pre-config)
I follow the layout in the community documentation regarding setting up firewall rules through iptables. I.e. I create a file called iptables.rules and place it in /etc. I then modify the /etc/network/interfaces file to look like this:
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo

However this third one I have reinstalled Ubuntu 3 times now, and every time as soon as I modify the /etc/network/interfaces file, eth0 fails to start up (is not visible in ifconfig, only the loopback adapter), and no networking works.
I have tried reducing the iptables.rules file (which is a carbon copy across all machines anyway) to a basic accept all rule, and it still doesn't like it. As soon as I remove those two extra lines in the interfaces file, the network starts up no problems and eth0 is there.
I'm trying to configure OpenSuSE 11.2 with Open vSwitch, and I'm having trouble getting various interfaces to come up automatically when I have bootmode set to "none." startmode is set to auto (or on - tried both), and bootmode set to none, with no IP address assigned in the file. At boot time, I get the message that it's bringing up eth0, for example, but when I log in and check, the interface is not up. Also, if I try "ifup eth0", I get the following output:
xen-users:~ # ifup eth0
eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)
but the interface is not brought up. why SuSE is saying that it's bringing up the interface successfully, but is actually not bringing it up?
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.
