Networking :: Set Up A Mini LAN Environment At Home
Jun 22, 2011
I have 1 Desktop and 4 laptops...All the machines are a mix of Linux and Windows OS...The Desktop has only one OS - Windows XP - Pro..
The printer is a HP Deskjet connecting thru USB to the Desktop
The Desktop is connected thru ethernet cable and all the Desktops are connected Wirelessly to Internet..
I want to use the Desktop as a Hub for my Music files as I have too many and cant spend time copying from one machine to another...I also want to print directly from the laptop by sharing the printer.
There is a locational problem in the sense ,The Desktop is in the ground floor of my house...I have the laptops in 1st and 2nd floors..So at night time I cannot be running up and down to turn on / off the Desktop.
I installed VNS tight viewer which allows me to control the remote desktop from my laptops...It is beautiful in the sense at night I can switch off the desktop from first or 2 floor after the work is done.
But I guess you cant pull files from remote desktop as it seems like a chrooted environment... Even If I try to play any file it would be from my Desktop and not laptop....
So how do I go abt it ? ---Samba for share and VNC for physical control --(on/off)?

I am attempting to set up a firewall in my home network environment. the rest of the environment is windows, sorry I am attempting now so bear with me. what I have is a cable modem coming in, then my fedora 11 box with 2 nics, then the wireless router and the rest of the network.
everything works fine until I put the linux box in. If I put the firwall in the firewall sees the internet but the wireless router directly after does not. I am doing something wrong with the dhcp I am guessing. I dont want the firewall to give the address to the network I want the router to. I tried to get the firewall to do it (yum install dhcp leafnode) but it kept saying something didn't work right.
so I figure I will let the cable modem give the firewall an ip and the router give the rest of the network their ip's but how do I get the firewall and router to see each other and allow passthrough?

my wireless home network is not recognized by my network card (RealTek RTL8190 mini PCI). The post was as follows: "I am using a new computer with Windows 7 , Athlon quad core 2.60 64 bit, 8GB RAM. Internet conection works fine with ethernet but ubuntu does not see my wireless network. card (RealTek RTL 8190 ID: 10ec:8190). Have searched this forum but unable to come up with a fix. I was looking for windows XP drivers to use Ndiswrapper but could not find a list of .inf files. My network is OK and works perfectly in windows and with my 2 laptops. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Additional info: install was done within Windows using WUBI to a separate partition on my HDD. I am new to this and thouroughly confused as to the procedure for installing the drivers if they are in fact available."
I am very frustrated in that I would like to use Ubuntu 10.04 but it is useless without internet connectability. I am new to linux and do not understand where to get the appropriate drivers or how to install them. I wish someone would answer this post and either give me a clue what to do or just say "give up" and uninstall ubunutu.

I planned to setup raid 1 mirroring for my small home environment. Then I selected two new harddisk and connected to my system. I inserted my fedora dvd and I clicked raid button in the graphical installation process by refering redhat docs. I installed successfully in /dev/sda /dev/sdb it works fine. For testing purpose I removed one harddisk /dev/sda. My system didnt boot it shows grub error. Why this happened? Since I have configured raid mirroring why the system is not booting from second harddisk /dev/sdb.

I installed the netbook remix of 9.10 on a Dell mini10. (Dual boot with XP) I knew that I would have to install the broadcom drivers to get the wireless up and running. What I didn't anticipate is that the eth0 interface would not work. ifconfig shows the device and lists the ip as a 192.xxx number. I am wired directly into our network, and expect an IP in the 10.10.etc range. Pings either return a host unreachable message or say network unreachable. This problem persists even if I set the card to a known good IP. ifdown eth0 returns a message that the interface is not configured. ifup returns a message that it is ignoring the interface.After fighting that problem for a while, I re-installed, thinking that perhaps something had gotten fouled up in the installation process. The problem persists. Nothing has changed.

I've read about all of the problems with the HP Mini's wireless and the Broadcom drivers. Running 10.04 LTS.
Code:
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
I have 2 drivers available to me under restricted hardware:
Broadcom B43 wireless driver
Broadcom STA wireless driver
I can get the B43 to connect and work, but not for more than a minute or so at a time. I see the following in the kernel log after the wifi adapter is activated:
Code:

just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my new HP Mini 210 (info). Everything is working fine -- webcam, shortcut keys etc, but I'm having some difficulties connecting to our wireless network. When I click on the network panel item, there are no networks visible. Now, I also have Windows 7 Starter on the netbook (what I'm using right now) and that's able to connect to the network fine.

I want to start off with this: I installed Ubuntu on my HP Mini 1151nr, and it went well. But after installation, the only way I can connect to internet is by directly hooking up to my modem. My wireless is disabled, and I do not think that I have the drivers for it.
The "Additional Drivers" found two Broadcom 802.11b/g drivers, but when I downloaded it came up with errors and didn't work.

I'm using a HP mini netbook, and I recently installed Ubuntu on it. I updated and did the whole proprietary drivers activation and it now scans and sees networks but I am having trouble actually using them now. It says that it is connected to a wireless network but it never loads any pages.

Long term Fedora user, I have recently decided to set up a small shuttle computer as a media centre (using mythTV), data store/NAS (so all my data is centralized), mini web server, etc. After installing I had the fun of trying to get my audio working correctly (which I did eventually .. after finding out I unplugged the audio after the second reboot and solved it after somewhere). After this, I got internet video searching working through mythTV using adobe Flash. I then went to bed only to find the internet not working (can't telnet, can't traceroute, can't anything). This is both as the mythtv user I have set up and as root.
The setup I have is:
PC -> router -> interweb
192.168.1.7 -> 192.168.1.1 -> interweb
I also have a laptop (F12) which is on 192.168.1.5.
The laptop has access to the internet just fine (no problem at router / interweb).
I have the only access to the router and disabled any ISP access (no changes in router).
I have the only access to the PC (no changes in PC).
I have set SElinux to permissive (no selinux issues).
I have temporarily disabled iptables on the PC (not firewall issue).
So, I decided to look at the differences between my two machines on the network. Initially the PC was missing the route:
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 eth0
I changed the services on startup so thet 'NetworkManager' was off, but 'network' started (exactly like my laptop). I turned off avahi-daemon, and any other network sort of daemon which doesn't match my laptop (which I have also customized).
I then set my eth0 config file to this:
Code:
# nVidia Corporation MCP77 Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:30:1B:47:C4:FF
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
TYPE=Ethernet
DNS1=192.168.1.1
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
# DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
# NAME="System eth0"
# UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03
IPADDR=192.168.1.7
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
MTU=1432
# PREFIX=24
Commented out any lines which I didn't recognize. So, right now netstat -rn returns:
Code:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network:
Code:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=sophie
And to me everything looks OK.
I even have inter-communication working fine (I can SSH between the two servers no problems - 192.168.1.7 <-> 192.168.1.5). I can do DNS queries from both just fine (nslookup google.com returns fine). I just can't get any information back from the net. Would it be work me doing a tcpdump or wireshark dump etc ('tcpdump > file' would be easier for me)?

I successfully did a dual boot on a HP Mini 1001TU netbook. However, the wireless doesn't connect. Over the internet, someone had a similar problem with his Dell notebook using a Karmic and said that Karmic has a bug that doesn't install the "Broadcom STA wireless Driver" and recommended a prerequisite wired internet connection then the following command line:
sudo apt-get update
sudo-get -reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source
Followed by a reboot which solves the problem.
I would like to try this out but the netbook only accepts a USB -router connection but my router doesn't have a USB port.

The Wired Internet adapter isn't working with Ubuntu 10.10, and without this working, I can't get my updates for the Broadcom WLAN adapter. I have a Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-Expredd Fast Ethernet controller. I have looked for solutions, but haven't found any relating to my problem.
To be specific: Ubuntu 10.10 is recognizing the Ethernet adapter as eth0. When I try to manually connect after inserting an Ethernet cable connected to the Internet, it tries for a couple of minutes before telling me the adapter's been disconnected. The connector lights remain the same on the port as they always were.

I've just installed ubuntu on my father's netbook hp 210 mini 3g with internal 3g modem. At the beginning everything was fine - system automatically detected modem and asked for PIN code. I was very surprised but during download some updates connection broke.. and since then ubuntu doesn't detect modem. I have even reinstalled system
In the broadband connection wizard there is no device detected. I'm on ubuntu 11.04, but on the 10.10 was the same problem.

I've been learning linux for a while now with half an eye on making a career out of it in future. One sizeable gap in my knowledge at the moment is networking. Is it feasible/desirable to set up a network of virtual machines to use as an environment to learn networking? My budget is non-existent so I was hoping to be able to get a basic understanding of the principles from installing a few desktops, a virtual gateway etc on VMware workstation on my laptop, and doing a lot of reading online.
Is this feasible, or will I just end up learning about virtual networks instead of real ones? Also how much power would be required, because my 3GB RAM lappy has just gone bang and all I have now is a (new) 1GB RAM lappy.

I'm new to Fedora, I used to have Ubuntu 10 and found that some software I required would not work properly so I decided to Fedora under recommendation from a friend. I really like it but when I installed Fedora 13 on my Netbook I found it difficult to set up my wireless connection.

I own a Dell Mini 10v netbook, I love the little thing, except I hate the Broadcom wireless card, I would much rather have a card that can use open source drivers. I have been searching on Google, looking on forums and looking on the hardware sites, but I cannot find a replacement card.
The problem is the tiny Dell has a tiny place to put the card and according to Dell and Broadcom, it is a "halfcard", which I have no idea what that is.
replacing the wifi card on this netbook?
