My Desktop is wired through eth0 to my wireless router. The router is connected to the internet. the ipaddress leased to my desktop was done with dhcpcd. My laptop is connnected to the wireless router through the wifi card known as device eth1 and i used dhcpcd for that also. How can I network my laptop via wifi through the router to the Desktop?
View 7 RepliesSince I have 3 Network cards in my Desktop PC I've configured it to act as a Router using GNU/Linux Ubuntu Lucid in combination with Samba so I could share my internet connection. It works on any laptop a connect to it using any of the network cards ports [regardless of the operating system installed on the Laptops], but when I plug that same network cable to any Desktop PC [regardless of the operating System installed] it doesn't even light the LED in the netcards. From the Client PC seems like nothing is plugged in the the netcards.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a desktop PC running Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7, and a Eee PC 701 laptop running EasyPeasy Ubuntu 9.04. I'd like to connect the desktop to the laptop with a wired connection (eth0), then the laptop to my ADSL router using wireless (ath0).
I have a crossover ethernet cable (I bought on ebay). I have set up my laptop with a static IP address on my LAN and it uses OpenDNS.
I have added this to /etc/sysctl.conf on the laptop:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Then I tried this on the laptop:
sudo iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ath0 -j MASQUERADE
sudo iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
This is a variation on what I found on other sites describing how to set up a router. I don't understand iptables very well, but I gather that the above two lines should set up forwarding so that traffic from my router to the laptop will be forwarded to the desktop, and vice versa.
But this doesn't work. The connection doesn't even establish between the laptop and the desktop.
My brother owns a chain of photo studios and we've just converted the computers over from Windows Vista to Ubuntu 10.10
We're setting up a wireless router at one of them right now and I can't log into the router via chrome or firefox by typing in 192.168.0.1
It just tells me there is no network connection. From what I remember I don't need internet to connect to the router to configure it.
On windows or osx it's generally a plug and play operation to getting the wireless all setup and secure.
Under ubutntu 10.04 I'm unable to acces the config page 192.168.1.1 the browser just won't open th page (and I have Internet as I'm writing this right now).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using centos box as a router. WAN side has a public ip and lan side also using a public ip. I configured dhcp server on the LAN side and it is working perfectly, pcs on the LAN side can able to access the internet.
Problem: Considering the fact that LAN IPs is using Public IP and it is presumed that from the internet it can be able to ping IPs inside the LAN but, alas, it couldn't.
No firewall has been config!
Question: What config should be done on the box so that IPs inside the LAN can be ping from the internet?
I have a router with 2 IBM Thinkpads connected. One Thinkpad is running Ubuntu, and the other is running XP.
They connect to the router with no problems.
I installed Ubuntu on a Sharp Moebius laptop and plugged in the network cable.
NOTHING.
I have tried pinging the laptop; nothing.
I am not sure where the problem is, because my Thinkpads have no problems connecting to the router, with both Ubuntu and XP
i wanted to know if i can use my laptop as a wifi router; with encryption password and all security so if another computer is in the range can detect the signal and then try to connect to it with the encrypt pass.
also i have one more doubt. can a wireless router be used as a wifi ethernet card and detect wifi signals nearby and connect to internet. suppose i have a wireless router and i connect it to my desktop(with lan cables) which has ubuntu installed, and theres a wifi connections nearby can i connect the desktop to the internet.
I'm sure that some of us techies have found the need from time to time to have a portable wireless bridge (see ascii art below) on our jaunts into the big bad user-woods, and I am here to ask the question of HOW to pull this off, with the least installation/configuration possible, as my tech lappy is also my main computer. What I want to do is this:
Code:
(ISP) -> (wlan0 - [MyLappy] - eth0) -> (Client computer)
Basically, thats a mess, so i'll explain it further:
wlan0 grabs the netz, and a computer connected to eth0 via switch/router/crossover cable can access those netz.
1. No configuration on the client would be prime choice rib for me.
2. Client should be any OS/Arch.
Any grand ideas out there? Currently using FC10, with various extra repos enabled.
Oh, and N00by alert, I'm learning quick, and am not shy to try new/complicated things, just bear with me!
I've not changed my configuration, but after temporarily unplugging my laptop from the router, I can no longer persuade it to connect again.Have restarted it repeatedly, but to no avail.A similar problem has been occurring with my Huawei 3G Dongle which has suddenly started behaving.Are there any troubleshooting guides for the Network Manager's wired connections? Don't know where to start.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two network cards in my computer (Debian). One (eth0) is connected to the router which is connected to the internet, the other one (eth1) is connected to my laptop (Gentoo). Now I want to surf the web both on my computer and on my laptop. I obeyed some tutorials "Linux as router":
1. On my Debian system IP-Forwarding is on:
Code:
takada:/home/sam# sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
2. Laptop has IP 192.168.0.2 and this is the output of 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' on my computer:

Running Ubuntu 11.04 on a Gateway LT3103U netbook. It's running fine except for that fact that when it goes to sleep (timeout or lid closed) or going into suspend or otherwise restarted/shutdown, my router restarts. It's a DLink DIR-655 that has been working fine until I changed this netbook to Ubuntu.After installing Ubuntu on the netbook, it found my SSID being broadcast and I added the connection by supplying the WPA2 password. I have full network access (local and internet).
It's just the router restarts and all my other machines lose connections. The router is using DHCP but supplying IPs based on MAC. Netbook is set to use DHCP.
I just installed 11.04 on my laptop and the wireless works fine connecting to a AT&T 2Wire router when the ac power adapter is connected. When running on battery power I stay connected to the router but barely any information is transmitted. ie. if i restart the router connection on my computer I can load a web page like google.com then nothing else will work unless I restart the connection again. If I am right next to the router it will continue to work but very slow ( takes about a minute to load ......com when it only takes 2 seconds on ac power ). When I run windows 7 everything works fine when on battery power.Also every thing works fine on a linksys router with ac and battery power.Dell Inspiron 14R Processor: i5-2400MWireless Card: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal

Setting up desktop (9.04) behind router for remote access by latptop (9.10) I am setting up desktop (9.04) behind router for remote access by latptop (9.10). Rationale: All of my files are on my desktop HD, but I am often out of my home needing to work on my files. It is becoming labour intensive to keep track of the files I make/change and try to copy them on my non-connected desktop/laptop.
Dream: Able to remote access and modify my desktop files from my laptop (while the files remain on the desktop). Request: A simple, GUI, basic, non-technical guide how to set it up!
What I know: 1.I was going to use the 'Remote Desktop' VNC connection under System->Preferences. However, if I understand this correctly, this only secures my computer (i.e. Locks the front door of my desktop) and the data streamed between them is not encrypted.[URL]..
2.Then I need to set up my router to accept the connection from my laptop.
3.Then I will need to use SSH to secure the info sent between them. This is the bit I don't really have a good grip on.

I have a laptop and 2 desktops all running ubuntu 10.04. The desktops are slower than sh|t and I've already upgraded their memory to the highest that they'll take, they're just really old. The laptop is super fast and amazing. Is there any way to use the operating system of my laptop from either one or both of the 2 desktops? I know how to connect to my laptop from the desktop over ethernet, and once i accidentally logged in to my laptop from a desktop in the terminal, then forgot I was logged in to the laptop and entered sudo reboot and rebooted my laptop, but I'm not trying to browse it, I want to use the video of the laptop over the ethernet to the desktop, and use the desktop's video to be a second monitor, and be able to use the mouse and keyboard of either to input. Or somehow tie them all in together and combine all their memory to running a single operating system somehow?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 with wireless working out of the box. I've been using it for the past few weeks because my iMac G5 has really slowed down with OS X. Today I installed 10.04 on the iMac G5 as well. However, wireless isn't working out of the box as it asks me to install the Broadcom wireless driver. The problem is, without this wireless driver, I can't install the drivers.
I am wondering if I can connect the laptop, which has wireless, to the iMac with a spare ethernet cable to give the iMac internet so it can download the driver.I'd rather not have to unplug it and move it downstairs to the router just to install the drivers.
I just installed it on my desktop. I love it so far, but I'm having trouble setting up a network in my apartment. I have the desktop directly plugged into my router and a mac laptop linked wirelessly to the router. I also have a printer and an external hard drive plugged into the desktop. The goal is to be able to access the external hard drive and use the printer from my mac laptop, as well as access the mac laptop from the desktop.
Right now, I can access the mac from the desktop with ubuntu on it. Under "Places" and then "Network," I can mount the folders I want and then access the contents.
I can also print and access my external hard drive from the ubuntu desktop.
However, on the mac laptop in the Finder under "Network" there is nothing. I can ping the desktop from the mac and get a response, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get beyond this. In System Preferences I have "File Sharing" and "Printer Sharing" both checked.
I recently bought a HP laptop which is showing some issues. To make it precise:
1. I can connect to ethernet & wireless when i am at my university, which are quite good connections.
2. At my home, i share the internet with another guy. The connection is not very stable, in the sense that, sometimes the download speed is 1MiB/s, and sometime 250 KiB/s. I have a old laptop which can connect to it without any problem.
3. My new laptop can connect to it when the connection is better with download seed ~1MiB/s, but could not connect to it when the download speed goes down.
4. "could not connect" means even ping to router takes long time with 90% packet loss. But I can always get connection and ip address from dhcp although i can not ping thereafter. This is true for wired & wireless connection both. Is that a router issue? but then, why can i connect through the other laptop.

Any Ubuntu system that connects to my router (Netgear Super Wireless ADSL Router DG834GT) does not acquire a host name on the network. The router reports the IP, and "unknown" as the "device name". As a consequence, the PC can only be reached over the intranet using an ip address, not using a hostname.My mybookworld network drive, that also runs a flavour of linux, does appear to my router with the name "networkspace". This must therefore be a network configuration issue of Ubuntu.I have a hostname set in my Ubuntu system.

vanadium@vanadium:~$ hostname

I have a laptop with win7 and I would like to connect to the internet through my desktop pc's connection. I have Karmic on the desktop and use a cable modem and I'm thinking about buying a router to solve this problem but I wouldn't know how to set it up in Ubuntu nor which router would be the best or easiest to set up. I saw this site [URL] and I'm torn between the TP-Link TL-WR741ND Wireless Lite N Router and the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615, because these are the cheapest ones and I can't afford much more than that.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI followed these steps to try and connect my Desktop(Ubuntu) and Laptop(Win 7) together so they could share files.
Code:
sudo apt-get install samba
sudo su
cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.comf_default
gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[code]....
sudo su was not originally in the steps but it wouldn't give me permission to edit the samba file unless I did.Also at the end it said command not found or something like that when I tried to restart samba, so I just logged out and then back in.So now I can identify Ubuntu and Win 7 from on each other, but I can not access either of them. Ubuntu goes into windows network, then workgroup, shows the computers on the network but when I try to access one this comes up:When windows tries to access Ubuntu it request for username and password. I type it in but it does not recognize it.
P.S. I allowed the Documents folder on Ubunto to share across the Network, and while it shows up in along with myshare on Win 7, it still requests for username and password.
I have two computers on my Wireless Local Area Network. One is a desktop and the other is my laptop, once I have enabled file sharing on my desktop, How do I connect my laptop to the file share?
