What i wanted to do was use a linux machine with a wireless and wired interface to act as a router. The wireless interface would be the outside and get its IP via DHCP from the wireless my landlord provides. The wired connection would be for my local pcs. I understand it would be slow having multiple pcs using a single wireless gateway.
View 2 RepliesI have a DELL running CentOS 5.4 with 2 active NICs, one with an external IP address (eth0) on 123.456.78.9 and another that is connected to our internal network (eth1), 192.168.2.x. When I reboot the server, everything works glowingly. External traffic is correctly routed over the external interface (eth0) and internal traffic over the internal interface (eth1). After some random amount of time, a couple of hours and sometimes a couple of days, all traffic starts getting routed over our internal network, so DNS requests fail, internet pages don't load, smtp connections fail, etc.
I'm assuming that everything that's not headed for our .1, .2 or VPN internal networks would go out the external interface. And why this works for a period of time and then stops working is beyond me. And when external traffic starts going over the internal interface, I just reboot and it starts working like it's supposed to again.
My Ubuntu Box has 3 interfaces. eth0 (Internal 192.168.1.0/24)eth1 (External ISP DHCP)eth2 (External ISP Static IP)I need the outgoing traffic to internet for 1 of the internal pc (192.168.1.10) to only go only go through eth2

It's been ages since I've been on here I've been messing around with BackTrack. I've come back to Ubuntu but seem to be having some problems getting my wireless network thingy working. Here are the specs of my system. Any advice on fixing this would be very very apprciated.

On another note I'm trying to run debain I've got no startx on there or anything like that it's feeling very basic atm. I want to keep startx outta there but I can't connect to the Internet and run apt-get install to grab handy things.
I'm hoping whatever I am gonna do to solve this on Ubuntu will let me connect up to my wireless network with the internal network thingy. However if it doesn't I'm guessin I can just connect up physically to the router. Any tips on doing this from the command line?
I have an older laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 that has a switchable internal wireless connection. It will not connect to my router. I am using the 10,04 netbook remix. When I use lshw in terminal this is what I get:

Should it not be identified as wlan0? I know a whole lot about Ubuntu linux because I don't. I did a clean install over XP and am using this laptop as a learning tool for linux in hopes to divorce windows completely.
My Intel 5100 AGN adapter works horribly in Ubuntu. I want to disable it, so I can use a USB wireless adapter that works normally.
I cannot find a reliable way to permanently do this.
What I want is quite simple, I have my PC running Linux Mint 5 (Elyssa), and I would like to connect it to both an internal network, which has a file/print server, another machine and will soon host a small cluster. I also have a wireless router connected to the tinterweb.
The thing is using my ethernet I want to connect to the internal network whilst simultaneously using my wireless to deal with the internet, I want to keep the internal network off the net as it really doesn't need to be connected. I can connect to my internal quite happily and also my wireless but not both at once.
Disable internal wireless card & enable external? Can I do this really by network-manager or should I use some other program. If I plug-in external both are connected. If I disable internal by laptop button, I cannot enable wireless anymore in nm-applett (external on).
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a toshiba a15 s127. it didn't have a wireless card so i ordered one and installed it myself. however, my computer is not seeing the wireless card and i don't know what driver i need because the card itself didn't come to me in a box, so i am not sure what brand it is. All i know is that it is an original part.
On another note, when i go to network settings and try to config my wireless settings, i do not know what number to put in the BSSID field. (thinking i use the wireless card's MAC address, but ?) and don't know if i use the wireless card's MAC adress or the wireless router's MAC address or the Modem's MAC address in the actual field for the MAC address. ( i know, i know, i sound totally clueless--well, i am!) {note: the wired network works fine.}
How do i get my computer to see the wireless card and how do i configure my computer once it does see the card?
I would like to turn off the internal wireless card since my external wireless card has better signal. Problem is if I turn of the internal card the external card turns off as well. My external card is an alfa awus036h 1000w. Laptop Gateway NV53. How would I disable the internal card and use only my external card?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI tried to setup a connection as below but face some problem (probably route table setting incorrect). Hope if anyone could shed the light.Basically, I have a PC1 (.1) and PC2 (.130) connected via a PC router. PC router has 2 interfaces: wireless (.2) and ethernet (.129). PC1 connects to PC router via LAN cable/wireless interface, while PC2 connects to PC router via cable. This settings try to simulate 1 wireless connection along the path (and because PC2 is too old to support wireless interface, we need a PC router). These interfaces are all under same 172.16.130.x subnet.

So I can scan and see the accesspoint with ssid alleycat but I can't connect. I tried disabling all security to see if it was a problem with my key or some encryption settings but even that didn't work. So frustrating because it seems close to working I must be doing something silly. Incase anyone is wondering why I am running a server off a wireless interface, its just a LAMP development server on my home network.
I am trying to manually configure my wireless interface similar to how I manually configure my wired interfaces on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). I have two wired interfaces that use static IP addresses. I set up these interfaces using /etc/network/interface file. I disabled network manager (it was never working correctly to start with). Now, I want to connect my wireless interface (wlan0) to an unsecured wireless private network. I know/can find out all the information about the wireless network (ssid, etc). Also, I need to do this without disconnecting either of my wired interfaces.
I have looked all over the internet/forums for information about how to set up this interface, but nothing I found meets my need. Is there any way I can use iwconfig or the interface file to connect to this wireless connection? Or is there any other tool that will allow me to manually do this?
The following is my setup. wireless server (ip of this server is 192.168.1.1) -- target board ( wireless client [ip of this is got for wireless server is 192.168.1.3 ] , bridge (192.168.36.1) )-- linux pc ( 192.168.36.3) as show above i have target board for that i have a wireless interface and a linux pc is connected to target board.now the ips are like this for linux pc 192.168.36.3 and my target board bridge ip s 192.168.36.1
my wireless interface got ip from another server like 192.168.1.3 ,now if i do ping on my target board for 192.168.1.1 it goes through wireless interface to the 192.168.1.1 wireless server.but when i do the same from target board connected linux pc its not pinging from linux pc i could able to ping to 192.168.1.3 but not 192.168.1.1 .I think i need to write a iptable rule properly on my target board to forward the 192.168.1.* packtes to wireless interface.
Ive been struggling to configure a wireless interface on Fedora 9I need to configure wlan0 command line only with NO display managerIve tried setting up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 with the right information, doing dhcpbut no ip is retrieved. Checking the dhcp server logs on the DHCP server - no request is received.The link light on the wireless nic is not on either. iwconfig shows it has an Access point associated and an ESSID but im not getting back any IP.There seems to be very little documenta on how to set up wireless nics command line only on Fedora
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just upgraded my system to Fedora 14. One thing I noticed after running some applications on it is that it is not possible anymore to figure out on what frequency a wireless interface is using. If I set a wireless interface to monitor mode and perform the iwconfig or iwlist command, in the past, I could see the frequency used on the interface, but now, this information is not present anymore. My wireless interfaces are in monitor mode.
Has the frequency information been removed from iwconfig or iwlist commands? If it has, is there another way to report this information?
Here is an output from iwconfig on my system:

I've been having issues setting up the wireless interface on my Ubuntu server (command-line only, no GUI) and I can't seem to get it working. It seems as though the card is recognized, the drivers are installed and the interface is up, but it fails to connect. I have no idea where I'm going wrong. I have WPA and a MAC filtering setup on my wireless router. An exception has been made for this PC's MAC address and I've manually entered the connection details into /etc/network/interfaces.

I'm a student who is working on a wireless research project. I have a madwifi driver for Atheros chipset on Debian Linux. With having the wireless interface get into monitor mode, I want to forward the captured packets from the wireless interface to the other Ethernet interface so that a different computer which is connected to this machine via Ethernet receives those packets. I checked that alll packets are received in the wireless interface using TCPDUMP. I tried to forward those packets with IPTABLES like 'iptables -p FORWARD -i ath0 -o eth2 -j ACCEPT' However, I couldn't see any packets forwarded to eth2 using TCPDUMP.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe adapter I purchased (Zonet ZEW2508 ) uses the Ralink 2070 chipset - a fact that originally excited me because Ralink seems to be fairly loving to the Linux community. However, despite my best efforts I can't get the thing to work. Initially I tried following directions to set up the driver you can download from the Ralink website. The directions I found were written February first, and Ralink updated the driver February eighth - so as far as I can tell the directions no longer work. After screwing around trying to figure that out for a while I decided to give ndiswrapper a go.
Initially this seemed promising. I just harvested the drivers from the CD and followed one of the many ndiswrapper directions available - most helpful seemed initially to be the Ndiswrapper Troubleshooting Guide found in this forum, however the solutions offered there didn't work either. When I throw an ndiswrapper -l into the terminal it looks promising at first, it tells me the driver is installed and the device is present, but it just doesn't work. When I try iwconfig, or iwlist scan it tells me "no wireless extensions," and "interface doesn't support scanning" respectively. The only devices even listed are lo, eth0, and pan0. There's no wlan0 or anything of the sort.

But there was no wireless interface shown in the network interfaces entry of hardinfo, even though I wrote modprobe ath_pci in terminal window. My questions are: 1. I followed the instructions regarding updating the madwifi sources, installing them etc. Does this guarantee that apt downloaded and installed the right madwifi driver? 2. Will I be better off if I try to install the driver downloaded from the Atheros website? 3. How can I activate the wireless interface (since the driver is running should not the wireless interface somehow show up automatically)? 4. When I am running Ubuntu 9.10 it picks up the wireless. Can I somehow copy all the files for the wireless from Ubuntu and paste them in the Debian filesystem?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an HP Pavilion dv7-1243cl laptop. It has an internal wifi that works ok at home but when I'm traveling I stay at RV Campgrounds the wifi signal gets pretty weak. So I Installed an external antenna.(ALFA model AWUS036H). The signal gets a full 5 bars.
Now the problem. I dual boot OS11.3 and Windows 7 pro. Everything works as expected on MS. When In boot to OS11.3 I can only connect to the internal antenna. (real spotty). If I turn off the internal antenna I can't connect to the external one. Knetwork manager show/detects and shows the strength of both of the signals only when the internal is on. On MS7 I can turn off the internal and it will connect to the external one with no problem. Is there anyway to get OS to allow me to connect to my choice of antenna? I've been into manage connections and selected wlan1 (external). no joy.

I'm trying to configure Linux Mint 9 so that the wireless interface wlan0 is disabled until I enable it. I've hunted around and learned that I can disable the wireless after bootup with the command 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 down' and then restart it with 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up', but I'd prefer to have it in the 'down' state from bootup. I read up on the /etc/network/interfaces file, and it seemed that the 'auto' stanza was the relevant part that told the system to automatically start the interface, but when I tried commenting out the 'auto wlan0' line wlan0 still started automatically.
