I have just clean installed Ubuntu 11.04 on 3.06 GHz Dual core P4 with 2GB RAM
Code:
jim@venus:~$ uname -r
2.6.38-8-generic
At the same time I purchased a Gigabit NIC from D-Link, mostly because D-Link is a reputable brand and it said on the box compatible with 2.6.x linux kernal. The original NIC is still in the system and can be seen and is functioning as eth0. The system can see the new driver and the card, here is an extract from dmesg:
I have a desktop that has a d-link DWL-520 wireless card, which was working under Windoze. Today I installed Centos 5.4 on the system , which went cleanly. I then used Network Configuration to set up the wireless card. I specified to use DHCP, set the SSID and authentication password. When I tried to activate the card I get these error messages
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06): SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A): SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A): SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Determining IP information for wlan0.
The hardware manager seems to have correctly identified the card and chipset, (Intersil Prism 2.5) and installed driver hostap_pci which came with the distro. This web site seems to suggest that this is the correct driver: [URL] searching forums I've found a few references to these errors, but they were from several years ago, and for different distros and cards. I did find a reference to using Network Manager to configure the card instead of Network Configuration. I started the NM service and configured a connection using it instead, but still no luck.
By upgrading to latest kernel(2.6.31-22) the card was recognized but it still doesn't quite work. I'm not that good at this but I'll paste some stuff that I think is related to solving a problem such as this.
I have Redhat 5.5 and want to configure my TP-LINK TL-WN321G 54Mbps USB Wireless Lan card with it. when i plugged my TP-LINK TL-WN321G 54Mbps USB Wireless Lan card into my system my /sbin/lspci is
Where i should start configuring with? when i plugges this in my windows machine. it works fine
I have a problem where I'm using Ubuntu linux to mount a Windows Vista machine's USB drive and access it on the web using Apache. I did have the USB drive plugged into the Linux machine directly and that was working via the web. FollowSymLinks is on in httpd.conf
[Code]....
The mount works and I can see the files (see above) from my regular linux user account. If I make a test file in /mnt and soft link to that, I can see it on the web. So it's just the mount to the vista machine that seems to be a problem. It's supposed to be a simple read-only mount and the apache login should (I think) be able to see the same generic root access permissions.
log from apache: [Mon Apr 26 20:39:42 2010] [error] [client 99.99.99.99] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /home/user1/pub_html/Music, referer: https://xx.xx.xx/~user1/music.html
The credentials have a login and password that matches a special read-only account on Vista. I can see the files on the system from Linux, but not via the web. As mentioned above, a different link to the same /mnt area works fine via the web. I've tried several different mount options with no success.
I am using fedora 8 . Recently i have bring a DLINK ( DGE-528T ) LAN card 100/1000 that is giving problem . It is detecting so i have given ip address to that card and restarted services but its is not accessing internet.
i only need localhost for testing some phpnow i get[Wed Apr 28 18:44:57 2010] [error] [client ::1] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /srv/www/htdocs
In the ordering of files I keep I need links to directories. Sometimes I even need to move directories to new locations. I have tried using symlinks, but they become dead when I move the directory they point to. I have tried hard links, but I haven't found any Linux file system that would support hard linked directories. How can I achieve that a complex structure of directories (currently with symlinks for directories and hard links for files) keep symlinks live when directories are moved?
- is there any utility that updates symlinks when a directory is moved?
- is there any Linux filesystem that supports hard linked directories?
- is there any good Linux interface to the new NTFS (the only file system I know to support automatically updating directory links, called directory junctions)?
I was looking for live link to download ubuntu mobile but unfortunately I don't find anything... Can someone send me a link for download and a link with the installation instructions ?? All the links that I found are dead.
I have searched around and am trying to understand the difference between a hard link and symbolic link (soft link). I found this link is quite useful. But I am still not very clear. I understand soft link is not a copy of original file, but is a hard link a copy or not?
I have two interfaces, gprs0 and gprs1, both connected to the Internet from the same HW device, but through two different access points I just read another blog entry with a guy who had two network cards, using one as a back up - I guess this is a little similar, but should be much easier I am guessing - I am just lost Using ifconfig (IP address given by the network) and route to setup the connection,
ifconfig gprs0 10.20.30.40 up route add default dev gprs0 ping 66.102.7.99 works fine afterwards
[code]....
There is data being transmitted and received to device again, I guess the kernel just doesn't know where the incoming data should go without the correct routing tables? Or what exactly is going on?The question I have is how do I configure the device to do the correct routing, using only the ifconfig and route commands? Maybe too trivial for you guys, but I am getting tired of goofing around not knowing what is up and down anymore
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I just got a Linksys WRH54G wireless router. I want to protect my wireless connection by putting a password to it but when I enter the Router's default IP address (192.168.1.1) into my browser to open the 'Utility Welcome screen', the browser does not respond.
According to the Router's manual this is because PC' TCP-IP is not set to automatically obtain the IP address.
I recently bought a dell inspiron 14 n4010 and i've installed windows and Ubuntu 10.04 in it. The problem is that i'm not able to access internet in my ubuntu. I'm using asianet broadband connection and i'm able to get internet in my desktop when i connect the cable to the system. But when i did the same with ubuntu 10.04 in my laptop, i'm not able to get internet access. I'm able to access internet in windows though. But i hate using windows.
I am using 3 machines in a LAN connected through a hub. My intention is to have a end-to-end connection between 2 machines so that I can control delay/loss rate. For that purpose, I am using a 3rd machine with 2 NIC and intend to use a bridge and installing Dummynet in this machine to control the traffic between the other 2 machines.I have successfully installed Dummynet in the bridge machine. Now I require to configure Ethernet bridge in the machine. What is the process? Do I need a kernel compilation or can be done without it? read somewhere that recent kernels can be configured without recompilation.I am using Mandriva 2010 with 2.6.31.5-desktop-1mnb kernel.
I have 2 pc's at home, neither v flashy but both more than capable of running this. Previously I had them both running XP SP2. One pc has 2 NICs in it and the second only one. So, PC1 (now running Ubuntu desktop 10.04) has the 2 NICs installed ...
1) A realtek NIC which is on 'eth1' and from which I receive internet connectivity from the router of this shared house. (2 other people connect their PCs to the internet via this router.)
2) A 3com NIC on 'eth0' which I have connected (using a crossover cable) to the Intel 'PRO100 VM' NIC on PC2.
Admittedly this took me some time to get half working. Currently I can connect to the internet through 'eth1' OR to PC2 via 'eth0' BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME. However, If I disconnect one (by left clicking on 'disconnect' under the top of screen menu bar, then the other one will immediately work ... and visa versa.
I had this working when both PC's were running windows XP but now in trying to educate myself further I have installed Ubuntu on PC1 and am attempting the same thing. I refuse to accept that as alot of these thread responses state, that it 'can't be done'. Quite clearly it can be done since the physical connections and hardware are no different, its just about ensuring that the protocols are all correct and that I haven't done something stupid.
I am very keen to learn more about computer networks and equally keen to educate myself in the ways of Linux, in fact I am studying to gain a network qualification as we speak but at this stage its still a little confusing. I have learned an awful lot about the fundamentals of networking but the 'hands on stuff' is where I really need to test myself.
I am using ubantu 10 and broadband where userid and passwd has been configured in router box. So when I connect this from windows its automatically connected (using ppp0e and dhcp), whereas in linux it could not connect.
I have an ARM based linux machine with kernel 2.6.10 .On reset it automatically gets the IP address 192.168.1.2 . I want it to wake up with address 192.168.35.133 .In /etc/network/interfaces was only an interface for loopback:auto loiface lo inet loopbackI have added:auto eth0iface eth0 inet staticaddress 192.168.35.133netmask 255.255.255.0But on next reset the IP was still 192.168.1.2
is there a possibility to connect to my router admin zone from internet using wan ip? from lan I can do that using 192.168.x.x IP but when Im in work and something go wrong at home how can I check configuration of my router from outer world instead of lan?
I have a system with one (sometimes two) ethernet ports, that works happily in an old Fedora 5 build. But I can't get it to work on a new Centos 5.4 build. Original system: One dedicated ethernet port on card always connected to the systems dedicated equipment and no external access (the system is the DHCP master for that network). An optional second USB dongle that is a second ethernet port, used for debugging and development. (This is a DHCP client with full conectivity. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I have ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and a route-eth0. Neither of the ifcfg files needs an explicit HWADDR, which means the same ones work for all boxes. And when one needs to be connected to the network all is fine.
The system is being moved to Centos 5.4, most is working with minimal change, but I am having problems with the ethernet ports. If it only has the on board ethernet connected, all is fine. If you have the USB dongle connected things go wrong: This system brings up the USB ethernet first, and tries to assign it to eth0 (which fails), and then brings up the on board ethernet as eth1 (which also fails). I have tried forcing the behaviour of the network by setting the HWADDR(s), but this does not result in the on board coming up as eth0, it comes up as __tmpxxxx as follows:
Currently the only solution is to unplug the USB dongle through restart and plug in afterwards, and this wont work when the unit is remote and in the field.
I new in Linux, I have a Centos5 since sunday and well I have to configure the iptables security of this cpu, I read a lot of examples of iptables in the internet and also another Thread from here but Really a don't know what to do, I saw lots of codes but first of all I don't know where I have to write that and my teacher don't want to help me in this homework. I tried to write the codes in applications --> accessories --> Terminal
Recently my motherboard went out, I replaced it and booted centos 5. All went well except sound, video tuners and netoworking. The sound I re-configured, and have gotten tuners working but I am running into trouble with the new network card. The networking setup is;
DSL wireless router/modem IP 192.168.0.1 connected to XP computer through WIFI IP 192.168.0.3. all set to subnetmask 255.255.255.0 and with DNS servers 192.168.0.1 and 205.171.3.25 the XP computer is the only one that supports my wifi card. On wired LAN I share that connection to 4 devices. 3/4 work well, my cent os 5 box will not connect. here are the lan settings:
win xp: IP 192.168.0.60 255.255.255.0 mac 8.6: IP 192.168.0.34 255.255.255.0 blueray: IP 192.168.0.65 255.255.255.0
i have to work at my home in my office. For that purpose i use a laptop with Windows (i really don't know why) XP. As i moved to Fedora 10 i want to make the same thing in Fedora.. Really don't know how. i have a cable connection and a router at my home ( i posted another message mentioning the fact of my wireless connection).
At my office i have a router , a firewall and 2 servers that i am allowed to use and i have to work on them (one is an AS/400 from IBM).
I've tried both the firewall interface that comes with Fedora and Firestarter, neither can configure as I want. So I think I'm going to have to do it by hand. In this laptop I have one 10/100 Nic and one wifi connection, at times either of them can be connected to the network. How can I configure IPtables so that any traffic is allowed out, nothing is allowed in (other than std stateful firewall replies), no icmp and that the fw logs any attempts to connect to the laptop?
I have an internet connection through socks4 proxy form a server nearby to my laptop(fedora 12) i need to update and install sofwares. How to configure yum to use the socks proxy?
