View 9 Replies View RelatedSome people may need to change the mac address of their ethernet network cards. This can be easily done with fedora with command line. Just follow the steps below:
1. Log as root on a textual console (ctrl+F2) or through "su -" command in your console
2. Print your network configuration with ifconfig
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:8B:6A:7E:9E
inet addr:10.1.128.244 Bcast:10.1.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::218:8bff:fedb:7e9e/64 Scope:Link
[code].....
Here, eth0 is the ethernet interface of your system. The mac address is put in red.
3. Change your mac address using the following syntax
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:18:8BA:7E:90
The new value (in green) must be hexadecimal
4. if you have a dhcp server that distributes the adresses automatically, then request a new adress for your eth0 interface
[root@localhost ~]# dhclient eth0
5. Now, your interface is up and have a new mac and IP addresses. This feature may be useful if the network administrator ban you according to the mac adress, for example .........

I've just reinstalled F14 with KDE rather than Gnome and I'm finding that I'm unable to assign a static IP address to my wired connection.
KDE automatically connects via DHCP, but when I go into KDE's network manager, the eth0 connection isn't listed. In fact, no wired connection is listed. If I manually add one with the correct settings (including a static IP), it switches back to DHCP upon rebooting.
How can I get around this? Should I install the networkmanager-gnome package?
I want to find the MAC address of another pc connected to my pc through LAN. That PC is showing GRUB load error so i cant boot it.
Can i find its MAC address through my PC? Both PC's are connected in LAN.

I have just changed my gateway address,now I can access internet with my browser but unable to run add/remove software as it says no network connection available,system updates are not working as well. What should I do make these working?
Is there any tool or command where I can track down the IP-ADDRESS of a machine within the subnet using its MAC-ADDRESS .

My university for some reason only allows 2 computers per jack i think! and i have 3. for some reason when i plug my 3rd PC in i lose connection on my other two. i have a win 7 laptop and a Ubuntu laptop. I want to setup a small server since my school blocks all ports off campus i can't use it off campus but i want to use it on campus.
My 3rd PC is a ubuntu Desktop is there a program i can use or a command i can use to spoof the mac address.
I purchased a Dell Notebook n4030, that came with the wireless adapter from Broadcom BCM4313. It's been a while since I've been battling with the Broadcom driver to make it work perfectly. I did it!
But some servers I work with wireless in my town and I need to always be changing the MAC Address of my wireless adapter. Whenever I make the change, which is in the Linux distribution is already using it, when I enter the command:
Come to me the message:
Then I give an UP interface, but after that the adapter does not get the IP address of the network.
I need to find myselfe unused IP address in some subnet.
How to determine that particular IP is ununsed in that subnet without asking network admin ?
I have followed some instructions to change to a static ip address and have now lost my connection to my router. The mistake I made was not copying the original "interfaces" file before making changes.The file originally had: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet (something - I thought it was loopback but didn't work when I added it).
The instruction told me to put:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
Which I did, using my own ip numbers, except for "broadcast". I didn't add that in because I didn't have a clue what to put there. When it didn't work, I tried putting it back to what I originally had except I can't rememebr that last bit. I added dhcp instead of what I thought it was but this didn't work either.
Now I'm not too clued up about networking and IP addresses. However, I know that I have an IP address for my router (which is dynamic) and then all of my machines have internal address e.g.
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.3
etc...
My server, had the internal address of 192.168.0.4 but now has changed to 192.168.0.7 what causes this to happen? I have to change my port forwarding on my router to allow access to my server from outside my network.
My laptop has an internal Broadcom wireless adaptor. It works fine for basic Internet access, but I cannot change the MAC address with ifconfig. I would like to be able to change my MAC address. Since this is a laptop, the only option for me to do this is a USB wireless adaptor. But compatibility is very hit-or-miss. I've already tried two USB adaptors that had been stated to be compatible with Linux, and while both worked for basic functionality, neither allowed me to change the MAC address.
For whatever reason, this information seems very, very difficult to find. I have spent upwards of ten hours cumulatively searching forums (including this one) and other resources, and have found only vague, outdated, or outright false information regarding USB adaptors that support this. I believe I will be doing a great service to other users like myself by getting this question directly and conclusively answered for once, and the more responses, the better.
Questions:
Do you have (or know of) a USB wireless adaptor that actually allows you to change the MAC address?
If so, what is the specific brand and model number, and what steps were necessary to install the drivers?
Can't change from dhcp to static ip address.I've installed Oracle's version of Linux Redhat 5, but I'm having no success changing from dhcp to a static IP address. My machine is plugged directly into a Belkin router which has the IP address: 192.168.2.1.If I use the gui: /usr/bin/system-config-network and set the network device to dhcp,it works fine. But if I set the IP address manually, I get no internet traffic, and if I ping an internet website, "network unreachable".The installation instructions for Oracle say that they want a full domainname. I've tried gateway.2wire.net. This worked in the last place I did a successful installation.It was the address of my ATT router. If I plunked that into a browser, I got the router configuration.

I don't really have a reason for this currently. I recognize all the MAC address on my DHCP client list and keep it rather well locked down. I was just wondering if there was something I could run on the terminal to get more information on a given MAC address on my network. Something kind of like whois for websites.

How can I discover the IP address of the drive. My Windows network is using DHCP, though I understand that the drive uses a static address. I know the MAC address of the drive.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are running samba on a Fedora release 8 (werewolf). The samba server is located on a dmz subnet off of my Cisco ASA 5510 firewall. From my inside network I have no problems connecting to the samba shares. However when someone uses a VPN connection they cannot connect to the samba share. VPN users are assigned an address from a pool which has no problems getting to the dmz based samba server. All ports required are open on both firewalls (Samba server and PC with VPN connection.) I consistently get an error saying Windows cannot find the ip address of the samba server. I have looked at the samba logs in varlogssamba and found a complete list of connection attempts listed by ip address. These addresses match the pool addresses that are being assigned by the firewall when someone tries to connect using the vpn.
Each entry has this:
lib/access.c:check_access(327)
connection denied from (ip address that is assigned by firewall)
smdb/process.crocess_smb(1062)
connection denied from (ip address that is assigned by firewall)
I checked the smb.conf to make sure the subnet the pool addreses is listed in the global section. It is.
how can I change eth1 mac address permanently in an easy way?

View 6 Replies View Relatedchange my WLAN0 MAC address in my Kubuntu Natty 64 bit at every boot. I have done quite a bit of searching and found some procedures that appear to have worked back in 9.04 and before days but I have been unable to get anything to work for me in my 11.04 install. I have tried adding a script to if.pre-up.d and also tried adding a bootmisc.sh and either I did them wrong or they are not working. I want to make sure that every time I bring the wireless up in Kubuntu that I have the changed MAC address. I usually keep wireless disabled and turn it on just when I need it.
Background so you don't think I am doing something nefarious... I am going on a cruise soon. The cruise line sells wireless internet subscriptions for the duration of the cruise but they tie it to a MAC address. I am bringing my CDMA android phone that unless I use VOIP will be unable to call at all or at least with very high charges. But I also want to be able to browse the internet with my laptop. I figure it will be easier to spoof my phones MAC with the PC than the other way around. I just need to turn one device off if I am using the other. I need the MAC address to be semi permanent so I don't turn it on by mistake and have forgotten to change the MAC.
I have a script that will change my desktop image to display all of my network IP address. I need to call this script whenever a change in the network occurs. Example, if I disconnect from one network and then connect to another network and get a new IP address.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dual-boot laptop where both are configured as clients for bacula (backup software). Since it is a laptop and it gets used outside the network where the backup is done, I can't just assign a static IP and be done; it really needs to accept an address via DHCP.
Changing the MAC address is easy:
Code:
But if you do this manually, then you'll need to restart your connection. I don't want to do that, I want the laptop to just come up with the correct address in the first place because one day I will forget to change it and the backup system will be very confused (and I will be very sad when I find myself needing that backup).
The solution is to run an init script prior to starting the network. Below is the script I am using, with someone marginal comments. It is based on the network script in /etc/rc.d/init.d, heavily edited. You will need to add one parameter to your ifcfg-ethX configuration file to set the desired MAC address. That parameter MACADDR does not seem to be used by any of the init scripts. You will find it in some of the scripts in network-scripts, but it is not used as an input parameter, but rather set by querying the NIC, thus this use does not conflict.
Here's the script:
Code:
In order to change the MAC address I do: ifconfig eth0 down hw ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:f0 When the ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:f0 is the new MAC address. Now how do I cancel that change and return it to the real MAC address of my NIC?
