Networking :: PCLOS 2010 Not Connecting To Internet?
Jul 23, 2010
I have been using PCLOS for a few years now, 2007 and 2009. My PC connects via eth0 to an ADSL modem/router either with static IP or DHCP and Internet works fine.
I formatted a partition and installed PCLOS 2010.7 KDE to it. I booted the new system, expecting to (almost) never see the old one again. But I was surprised to discover that I cannot access anything on the Internet.
In the taskbar I see the network icon which correctly shows my IP and the default gateway (my router) and DNS address. When I open Firefox and fill in a location I get "waiting for [URL]" (or whatever site) forever! I couldn't even get a response from the router itself, on my own local IP segment!
As soon as I rebooted my PCLOS2009 I was online again as usual, so the hardware and network defs sure seem OK.
On the basis of a suggestion I checked my FireFox settings, and found that I had network.dns.disableIPv6 setting as 'false' in Firefox, and I changed it to 'true'. I also changed the proxy setting from 'system proxy settings' to 'no proxy'. These changes did not help, I still cannot connect.
in no particular order:
1) from a shell I can ping any site, by IP *or* by dns name.
2) my browser gets NO response from my router at 10.0.30.100 but if i type the url ftp://10.0.30.100 I *DO* get a prompt for my password from the router. (After I give the password it tells me that ftp is not available, which is true).
3) I have found *ONE* web site that worked in my browser: [URL]
4) Another app that also failed to connect to the Internet: Synaptic does not download repository listings. So I have not tried any other browser, since I cannot install anything.
5) I checked my firewall settings (in the control center) and it says that I have NO firewall limitations.
When I boot from the CD, it starts to boot and then continously repeats:
Code
Initializing gfx code... boot: gfxboot:
It stops on boot for about 10 seconds each time then gfxboot for not even a second before the cycle continues. I have tried more than one CD, so I don't think that is the issue. It even did the exact same thing when I tried it on PCLOS 2010.10. Both versions I tried were KDE. trying to figure out how to get past this.
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and its great. However when I connect to the internet at home it shows that the connection has been established but I still cant connect to the internet. My flatmates are all able to connect. However, I am able to connect from work both wirelessly and through an ethernet cable.
I would like to connect a PC (it has no white IP) through Internet. It's possible to create tunnel with SSH, but I need more easy way. May be there is some service exists (like TeamViewer), so people can just run simple command on that PC?
I just want to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to connect to the internet. I have done a massive amount of troubleshooting, but some of it seems to contradict itself, and the only two things that I know for sure are that it used to work, and that my Ethernet cable is not the problem. When I use Terminal utilities like ifup and dhclient it seems that it can not determine IP information, but when I try to put it in manually, the "Apply" button grays out right after I finish typing it in. When I try to connect normally, in KDE or GNOME, the icon acts like it's connecting, then instead of having the connected icon, I receive a notification that "the network has been disconnected", and it goes back to the disconnected icon.
Oh, and by the way, I know that I could probably find a workaround, but I have limited resources, and this used to work. The Linux is a Dell desktop with Fedora 12 and the Windows is a Windows 7 HP laptop.EDIT: I hope that I didn't mess something up, but I accidentally used system-network-config to try putting in the IP address there, and ended up changing it back to the original settings, but the computer is now calling it Auto Ethernet in the taskbar icon, although sudo iwconfig in the terminal still calls it eth0.
I'm using ADSL modem (not router) and I can't connect to internet. The network manager and the pppoe-setup command doesn't work. So I'm asking some of the experienced users of fedora 12 to help me setup my connection.
Details: ADSL modem with pppoe connection (working fine on win xp)
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD and I can't connect to the internet. I click on System --> Preferences --> Network connections and under the tab DSL I click Add. After i fill the information I click to connect to the new connection and after a while it shows me a baloon which says "Wired network: Disconnected - you are now offline".
I am trying to connect to Internet using Wavecome modem with Airtel GPRS connection. I am able to successfully connect and browse the Internet using wvdial. But if I use pppd, I am getting the error message as "LCP Terminated by peer".
The exact error I am getting is pasted below. [root@pscu1320 ppp]# pppd call gprs-wavecom GPRS modem init: press <ctrl>-C to disconnect Wakeup Modem
I had an ubuntu 10.4 box, I used it mainly for programming, virtualization & other stuff. I've installed this box about 1 month ago, working on it everyday. About 2 days ago problem appeared when I just opened up firefox for cheking my E-Mail. I typed : [URL]. & nothing appeared & I just seen the famous firefox page when a networking problem is around . I just wondered and checked the connectivity & the wire itself, but find no problem around them, while playing with firefox I just had a turned on virtualBox machine (Windows XP service Pack 3), I just checked the internet within vm & working fine, I checked my e-mail from vm (windows xp), I thought restarting the system might help to solve the problem but damn, problem didn't solved & still arounds Well, I searched through websites dedicated to linux networking & forums that might help, I did anything that faced to my brain , follow another people recipes but problem did't solved for about 3 days ! Playing with primary & alternative dns didn't help, I did my best about solving the problem, disabling ipv6 from both linux networking settings & firefox itself didn't help also . After that, I thought reinstalling the linux might help to solving the problem, but install a new version of ubuntu, 10.10, I tried it, install it but the holyshit problem still arounds ! I think this might be a bug on ubuntu distro, I tried Mint 10 & the same problem, reinstalling x64 version of fedora core & the same problem .It's interesting that the same settings for TD-8101G TP-Link working fine for my Windows XP, Windows 7 x64 & the problem is arounds just for my linux distros .As I said I checked the internet for the problem & found nothing workable for me. I thought it's better to describe the problem & maybe another people faced with that problem .
I have a CentOS server that I can connect to over my local network. The computer I'm currently on is on that same network and can access the internet. My server can not connect to the internet. The network card is obviously connecting to the network since I can access the server locally with SSH or HTTP. While in the terminal for the server, I type wget google.com and the server can not find the specified host, so this leaves me to believe it can not access the internet.
I recently set up a network of computers via Ethernet, all of which use Fedora 10. I would like to be able to get any computer on the network to hook up to the internet.(I think the solution is now figured out - see below, on page 2, "problem solved")
I have a problem which is connecting automatically to my spwireless. On my windows, my schools provide me the disc which contains several .cer files and a automated batch files to copy the .cer files to the root folders. I can choose to use the other network but in using that, i have to manually connect compared to using the spwireless. Anyway, my problem is that, how do i add the .cer files and to where so when i connect to the network it will look there for the cert. Because when i manually connect, only one cer can be chosen.
I have a problem connecting to the internet using Ubuntu 9.10 . But the same works fine in Ubuntu 9.04.. First I thought it was my hardware problem and asked my friend(also was using ubuntu 9.04) to try ubuntu 9.10 but he too failed to connect....
I have an wired ADSL Modem given by my Service Provider. When I switch on my modem the router gets connected but it cannot connect me to internet...
Whenever i used to setup a new connection in Windows it would just ask me User name and password here i need to fill up something called as "Gateway" !? The connection won't be accepted unless i fill up something in there... So, what do i put in there? I'm on a LAN of 3 computers connected with a router.The router takes one wire as input from the modem(cable).
i have a Levano S10e intel atom preccessor and the net-book is not connecting wirelessly to the network. i have tried at two locations and even plugged in a exterlal wifi adapter. it wouldnt connect then either, the only way to get connected is to use a cat5 cable. here is the ifconfig output with no cat5 inserted and it not connecting to the internet.:
I need to reinstall my GUI but all I can access currently is a terminal, I have the encryption key and SSID but have found all the how to's I've read really confusing since following certain steps on them give me error messages, I'm connecting wirelessly to wlan0.
I was recently asked to get a 3G ZTE 633 modem (not in stores) to connect to the internet whenever it was plugged in. I had it successfully working on my Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon machine but it does not work on Fedora 10 which is where it is required to work. When the 3G modem is plugged in I use a Udev rule to run usb_modeswitch which changes it from being in usb storage mode to being in modem mode. This part works fine. I then run a second udev rule (on the modem device), this should run a script which connects to the internet. Unfortunately it falls over here. The script does run but it will not connect. However if I run the script manually from root it works fine. I guess that it is a permissions issue.
One thing to note is that there are three udev devices associated with the modem. They are ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2. I use ttyUSB2 to talk to the modem when connecting. Here are the files. If you require any more let me know:
The first udev rule: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2000", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", RUN+="/usr/bin/usb_modeswitch"
The second udev rule: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0031", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", MODE="0666", RUN+="/outputs/run_internet"
I have a vista computer that is connected to a router via a ethernet cord. The router is connected to the internet.I have a computer installed with Debian that does not have a ethernet port in the back of it. Is there a way that I could connect my Debian computer to the internet through my vista?
I am a newcommer to Centos. I should connect to internet via a pptp vpn connection. I created the connection in "network connections". In other distrows I could connect to created pptp vpn connection simply by clicking on network-manager-applet and selecting the connection, but there is no network-manager-applet in Centos. Is there any way to connect to the vpn connection I created or I should go to do it by manually editing config files?
I am trying to connect my desktop to the internet via my Linksys wireless usb WUSB11v2.8 adapter. My network showed up in the Network manager as soon as I installed Fedora and it asked for my network key, but it still doesn't connect. It just keeps asking.I was reading that possibly the driver is not compatible with the OS. I heard about RPMs and the ndiswrapper program that supposedly is supposed to help with compatibility issues so I went and installed both via a direct ethernet connection.
I guess my question is now since I have these programs, what else do I need and how do I go about completing the installation? I pretty much need to be baby stepped by step into how to do this including the best place to install the software, what files do I need, and where and how if I even need to get my device's chipset.
I have an AWL6075 Golden N Wireless Mini USB Adapter from Airlink, and I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. (Kernel 2.6.31-20-generic) I've learned that in order to get this to work, I needed to download this firmware update: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/373876...8192sfw.bin.gz and copy it into /lib/firmware.I have also needed to download and install the drivers at http://www.filestube.com/f76673d157e2ab6203ea/go.htmlI've even Edited my connection to make it available to all users.This is great, and it gets my internet running. Unfortunately, I seem to have to make the module, and insmod the module 8712u.ko everytime I boot up. I know I had it set in 9.04 to be able to do this on boot up, but in 9.04 I didn't have to re-make it everytime.
I had installed Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday. When I see the network tab, it shows it is connected to the web via eth0. I could download all the packages for updates.But when I try to connect to internet via Firefox, or by evolution or other software,I am unable to connect.The configuration of the ethernet card is proper as I checked that via terminal window.It is a peculiar problem, where I can download update pakages but unable to connect via browser or email client.when I ping to ubuntu.com is shows it is healthy and successful.I have a Acer dual core laptop, and connect to internet via wired lan .
I have an iBook G4 running Debian Lenny. I was wondering, is there anyway to connect to the internet while on a Windows network at school over Ethernet using smbclient? I have both GNOME 2.22 and LXDE .5 on the machine.
I setup a network bridge on pc A, with windows 7 installed on it, using windows default bridging tool. I connected computer B to computer A and Im trying to connect to the internet through the network bridge on computer A. Computer B (client) has two OS's installed, win XP and linux(tried with different distributions, didnt work). On windows XP everything is working, when i try to ping the router (after computer A) it also responds. On linux system nothing is working, and im not quite sure why.
I set up linux to receive IP adress from DHCP, which is router in this case (behind computer A), same way windows XP was configured. I decided to ask here, because I couldn't find anything on the net. My guess is windows-made bridge supports only windows-OS's but that would be kind of strange (its just a software bridge).
just recently I made the move back to Ubuntu from Windows. Upon re-installing I noticed a problem with me connecting to the internet. Previously on Windows I had updated my Ethernet Adapter driver, upon installing I would have to disable and re-enable the device to let my computer have access to the internet. My problem here is how would I go about fixing this on Ubuntu so I can have internet access on Ubuntu
All of a sudden, none of the applications are able to connect to the internet, except the web browser. I use Google Chrome and sometimes Mozilla firefox.
There is a network proxy and I did apply the network proxy setting system wide.
Applications like Dropbox, Messenger etc stopped connecting to internet which were working very well until yesterday.
I`ve got a network (192.168.1.0/24)with common internet gateway (gw 192.168.1.253).Everything works good and i have access to i-net through 192.168.1.253 from all loacl machines. Then I tried to make and internal server as a firewall for local subnetwork. It is CentOS 5.3 based.
