I have managed to get vpn set up on my Debian Sid (I think). I want to use a different server from my default.IBut I am not using the vpn server instead of my usual one. Is there a way to make this happen?
View 14 RepliesI have a wireless network that my PC connects to just fine. I did have to change my address to 10.10.10.1 (Cisco router)
How can I do that with Ubuntu?
I will need very specific directions, because I don't normally use Ubuntu.
I am enclosing a desktop screen shot showing details of my internet connection.Please watch it and tell me how to get connected with net.

View 4 Replies View RelatedYesterday I updated my kernel, and then i could not run my wireless card, since I use the broadcom STA driver and there was no update on rpmfusion yet.
I googled and downloaded akmod, and all got fixed after a reboot.
Latter last night, i got an update message in wich, among other updates, was rmpfusion's aforementioned update, I installed it.
After a reboot, I am connected to my network, ifconfig throws normal stuff (default gateway, ip adresses and subnet mask) and i LOOKS like there should be no problem
however I'm unable to connect to any website, or access any remote server via ssh, or ping anything.
Also, i disabled ipv6 in firefox just in case, and it was no use.
WiFi on this laptop worked fine for a few months then went out; after a reinstall of ubuntu (since 9.xx had come out since then anyway) the wireless still refused to even see networks, let alone connect to them; under Wireless Networks in the NM, I just see a greyed out 'disconnected'. This got me to thinking that it may have just been a hardware issue, but I find that hard to believe. Anyway, here's the pertinent information:
Started off with an lshw command just to see if a network adapter is even listed as being connected: `lshw`
Code:

network:1

As an addendum : I found this driver project but they claim to require a 2.6.8+ kernel; a quick `uname -r` shows that mine is 2.6.31, and an `apt-cache search linux-image` reveals that to be the highest available from repos; do Debian/Ubuntu distros not use more recent kernels or is this an Ubuntu-specific kernel naming scheme? If so, to what would it be comparable? I'm hesitant to try to install this and change my firmware if it's likely I'll be borking something.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my second day with ubuntu on a dell mini 10v with broadcom wireless card. I hooked up to a wired connection and ubuntu installed the drivers for the broadcom card.When I put the cursor over the wireless icon on the desktop it shows the name of my wireless connection,active,and my ip address but when I open firefox I get a "server not found". I'm confused as what to put in the boxes for ssid,mode,bssid,mac address,and mtu under network connections. I've tried pretty much every conceivable method at my disposal,even went on my d-link router settings and nothing has worked.I do not have windows installed,using 10.4

So I bought a entire new laptop for the task and it landed on a Acer eMachine 350.
Trouble here trouble there I finally came down to a ubuntu netbook edition, the latest one for the moment.
I had to use jockey-gtk to install drivers to my broadcom network card which took a while, but it now says I have a driver!
Trouble is, when I connect to my WLAN at home it says connected to Gustafsson(Network name) but my interface eth1 looks like this:

I'm having a problem with my computer connecting to a speficic wifi. The problem seems to be between my computer and this wifi, because I can connect to other networks and other computers can connect to this wifi. I do manage to get a connection, but I can't ping any website, I always get an unknown host error.I have managed to connect to this network only once: it wasn't pinging and then it eventually started working, but I don't recall doing anything that made it work.

I am running a dual-boot with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 and I can't stay connected to the internet with Ubuntu, but Windows does. My router is a D-Link GamerLounge DGL-4500. I have wireless internet access for about 10 seconds but then it drops. Access to the router doesn't go away though. Other computers can connect to it just fine, and my computer (Toshiba Satellite A505) has connected to every other one I've tried on. I can still log in to it and change settings and all that, but I can't access the internet through it. I also can't ping the router.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've configured an FC14 installation and have been able to do everything over the internet as needed. Then I added a VPN client and can connect to the VPN. I can't ping a server I know is available on the VPN. Ping hangs, not getting any response (including timing out).My other Linux box (running all of the same software) can get to the server on the other side of the VPN so I know everything is okay except for my configuration.I had the same problem when I originally configured the other system and remember that I had to manually edit some setting in a file but don't remember what it was.

I have an IPsec VPN between 2 Ubuntu 10.04.1 Boxes which is working perfectly. However I cannot get any traffic to route down the VPN link.Interestingly, when checking the routing table, there isn't even a route list for the remote network. This is the same on both sides. Also there isn't an ipsec0 interface listed either.However, when a the command "sudo service ipsec status" is ran, it definately shows the tunnel is up and connected.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a box with 6 Ethernet ports. One is the main connection to the box, and the remaining are for connecting to one host each (1-1, ie, 5 different boxes connected to each of 5 ports on the box). I setup a static route to each of the hosts, and it worked. But, now it just doesn't work. There are no firewalls, etc.
Box_A: 10.2.1.200 (going to the switch to outside).It has 5 other ports: port1 (10.2.1.11) <----> Host1: 10.2.1.20 port5 (10.2.1.15) <----> Host5: 10.2.1.25 If I do, ping -I eth1 10.2.1.20, from Box_A it doesn't work. But, it used to work.
I would like to run a script after I got a network connection. The reason is that I'm trying to install Dropbox on my Fedora 12 laptop, but it only works if I start it after I'm connected to the network. So, is it possible to automatically run a script after you've got the connection?

I have a fresh install of Fedora 13 on my Toshiba Notebook. I am able to connect to the internet but can not browse neither by Ethernet or wireless. I have an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG wireless card and a Marvell Technology Group LTD 88E8036 PCI-E fast Ethernet card installed. The command ifconfig shows an ip address. I am able to ping by URL and IP address. It does the same with the firewall disabled. I have also disabled the iptable & ip6tables in the services. I have even set fire fox not to use proxy settings. I am just not able to browse at all.

Ive got two connections, one is the eth0, that is the LAN connection to the DSL modem (192.168.1.1) and the other is the DSL connection that I connect to use the internet. Now I can only connect to one of the two at a time, so when I'm connected to the internet, I am not able to access 192.168.1.1. How do I use the two simultaneously?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 15 today and after a few very long hours finally got the broadcom driver to work and my laptop is now connected to my router. Yay! But now when I try going to a website in firefox it says server not found. I can ping anything inside my network but when I try to ping outside the network, for example google, it says ping: unknown host google.com. So I thought it might be a DNS problem but the network settings point to the router for DNS so I'm not sure what else could be wrong. All of the other settings look correct.

She is running it out of a live DVD( I Know, you shouldnt use a DVD as your main OS) but she only needs the internet, and uses google docs to save stuff or a USB stick. Anyone know what might be the cause of this disturbance in the connection. It is a cable connection, and the main modem is in my room, and we got a netgear router( maybe the problem?). I tried the same exact system/live dvd environment at my work place and it held connection pretty good, but I believe it did disconnect a few times as well.
