I just purchased a router that supports IPv6 and configured my eth0 to use IPv6. I have tried automatic and automatic, address only with no results. My Windows 7 and OS X 10.6 boxes both work w/o issue of need to change settings. I have done a bit of Google searching, but not found much in the way of useful advice. Can someone point me to a good article or let me know that the product is broken at this point.
I used to play with gw6c ( a client for tunnel broker ) It works well with fedora9 , fedora 10, but not with leonidas. my rpm is gw6c-6.0-0.4.beta4.fc9.i386.rpm ( a little old!) when I tried to install i have got this: libcrypto.so.7 est ncessaire pou w6c-6.0-0.4.beta4.fc9.i386 I try to make a soft link to libcrypto.so.0.9.8k, but nothing; The question :-Is there a solution for that pb - did you know a better client for non native ipv6 connectivity?
I have been struggling to get FC15 to act as an IPv6 router for a while now, am sure I am missing something trivial.. The idea is that I have a ppp / adsl connection (this works fine), use the wireless card on my pc with hostapd and dhcpd to provide connections to other pcs (works fine), and radvd to delegate ipv6 addresses.
The issue seem to be that as soon as I turn on ipv6 forwarding (net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding =1), the ppp connection no longer gets an IPv6 address. This means the router cannot ping any ipv6 address outside my network.
If I disable ipv6 routing, my router gets an IPv6 address on its ppp connection, and can ping things such as ipv6.google.com just fine, however (of course) no packets are forwarded from my network and radvd complains that forwarding is disabled.
I am trying something a bit tricky.Suppose there is a website URL...Now suppose when i open a file /var/www/ test.php which connects to the above website to gather some info and then allow me to further in the process, i want it to instead direct to a file say /var/www/test_done.php.How do i edit my hosts file for such a scenario? Is there any other better option than using a hosts file ?
I added this line:alias ipv6 off in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases:# cat /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
# These are the standard aliases for devices and kernel drivers. # This file does not need to be modified. # # Please file a bug against module-init-tools if a package needs a entry # in this file.
[Code]....
alias ipv6 offbut howto check after restart if ipv6 was loaded or not?
setting up NAT and firewalling for both IPv4 and IPv6. The machine is headless, so everything must be configured via CLI. I've done all IPv4 firewall configuration writing iptables rules in a bash script so far
Why does the loopback interface has such a high mtu? I get it that it needs to work out even large packets, which is logical but why this specific number? I can set the MTU even higher with the ip link command, so it's not a limitation of the variable used.
I have two ethernet card on my computer, I want to make a TCP or UDP communication between these two cards, so I disable loopback: #ifconfig lo down. but with out loopback I can't even ping an eth from another one. how should I do? I want traffic to really pass eth cards.
Since I got the liquorix kernel installed on my machine I got an error of setting kernel variable error. net.ipv6.bindv6only at boot time, since it wasnt a big deal I never looked further into it, but now that I had some spare time and I didnt want to see any errors on my machine I found a solution for it, with a little googling all we need to do is read the /usr/share/doc/procps/README.Debian and bingo no more error i hope this help anyone else with the same problem. I did the 3rd suggestion on that file to load the module in /etc/modules cheers.
I own an Ubuntu Server 9.04 on a remote dedicated server. Since a few days (?) the loopback interface is not 'up' on reboot : I only have eth0 (which works fine).Here is my /etc/networking/interfaces (did not change since server initialization):
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface
I run a webserver Apache2, php5, and MySQL. They are all set up correctly and I can access my website at [URL] I have, also installed, noip2 to update my IP address to no-ip.com for my domain name. Here's the problem: I can access my website through that domain name on other computers, both on internet and on the same network. But I cannot access it from my own computer (using the domain name instead of localhost). I need to be able to access the domain name on my computer because some pages on my website have been defined as the address to my domain name and not localhost. I cannot change this to localhost because if I do then people outside cannot work the webpages correctly. I had the same troubles on Windows before and I simply enabled loopback connections by typing in my private IP address along with the domain name into the Windows hosts file. I use version 10.04.
I'm setting up a loopback server for work related testing. I have a small program that needs to be executed through telnet from about 200 IP's on the same network. On the server, I have to set a static ip, enable telnet login, and place my 2 program files in the appropriate folders so it will run. I have been on this for 2-3 days and haven't got far.
My /etc/Network/interfaces file is this... Auto lo iface lo inet loopback
The rest of terminal is filled up with these, and it states that the file only has 32 characters. I don't know if this is a privilege issue or not. I've read several threads on telnet, and lots of arguments about ssh, but I can't run ssh, so I need to enable telnet. There is not a security issue. I run a private network where the only valuable resource would probably be the text file with my IP address on it. Its also accessed by people that have very limited networking knowledge and no linux knowledge...
So, Set static IP Setup telnet server... Any takers?
I'm using Wordpress on Apache localy to keep a diary (it's convenient because of the tags). When I'm connected to any network (be it wired or wireless) my Apache (and Wordpress, of course) works just fine. But as soon as I go offline, I can't access the web server neither through browser nor by telneting to the 80th port. Pinging localhost works just fine.Here is my ifconfig when offline and when online:Online:
Code: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:54:6f:07:aa UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
So I have an Ubuntu server setup but my modem from my ISP only has one ethernet port so I have to run my server behind a router. I have been able to get the sever viewable to everyone outside of my network but when someone is inside my network they have to view the server by the direct IP the web address doesnt work nor does the actual static IP. I believe this is something to do with my router not being able to loopback. It is a belkin N600 DB.
QUESTION: Where do I add "pppd nomagic" to stop analog modem loopback errors? (I am using Gnome PPP.)BACKGROUND INFO:I am using Ubuntu LTS 8.04 on a laptop and have an analog modem connected via USB serial cable. The 8.04 dialup and the analog modem work flawlessly.Modem disconnects when using Ubuntu LTS 10.04.1 Live USB:I am testing LTS 10.04.1 on a live USB drive that I purchased preinstalled from On-Disk.On the live USB drive, I am able to get a dialup connection with my ISP long enough to pull up a web page with the browser. However, the analog modem disconnects within minutes with exit codes 16 or 17.an pppd:16 The link was terminated by the modem hanging up.The PPP negotiation failed because serial loopback was detected.
I have a client's linux server where someone added a script which sends spam mails from the server's local loopback address (127.0.0.1) all my seniors worked on it and couldn't trace the script on the server this issue was going for a week, now I have an idea to bring down the loopback interface of that particular server(ya, that was not a permanent solution but just had an idea), but my support manager told that it will bring the whole server down(so far as i have learn't loopback address is used only for testing the NIC card's functionality), is that really bring the server down.?. How ever i tried this using a test machine all the connections works fine even after i bring down the loopback interface. As my client's server is a production server i can't test it there without clear knowledge, can any one help me out whether will it bring down the server or will it cause any side effects on it(i know that you guys are experts so i am asking it here)?
I have a problem with my F13 and wired connections on my Acer TravelMate 2410. When I connect the inet cable it doesn't show it as connected. When I type ifconfig, it shows everything as it should. When I tried to bring up eth0 with ifup eth0, it said that the device is not managed by NetworkManager. I tried to restart nm with service network restart, but it gave this error:
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and I've been unable to access any type of Internet service besides web browsing. When I check on Network Tools, it's always set on Loopback Interface, regardless of whether I've just switched it to Ethernet Interface. I haven't been able to download system updates through Update Manager. I'm not very experienced with Ubuntu.
New CentOS 5.4 system working fine. Sys admins came in and copied the hosts file from one of the servers down to my desktop and ever sincethen machine has been slow (progs take 10-20seconds to load). RunningGnome. Luckily I saved the old hosts file and copied it back and all is now well. But I'd like to understand why, particularly as I will need to change myhostname in the future.
As configured: /etc/hosts (yes my hostname is "dummyName" that I will need to change later) 127.0.0.1 dummyName localhost.localdomain localhost
I'm running a Source Dedicated Server on my Ubuntu laptop, and to connect to it via external IP from other computers in the network I need to enable loopback in my router.This was working fine, but then I disconnected my laptop for a few days, and when I came back the wireless stopped working on my Xbox. I reset the router to factory defaults, and then setup everything again. It was all working fine until I enabled loopback again and power cycled my router. Now every time I do that, the internet on Ubuntu stops working and the wireless on the Xbox stops working.
Edit: You can ignore this I guess. It seems I was actually DISABLING loopback by enabling that router option, which I guess caused this. Strange, because the first time enabling this option was the only way to get my external ip to work. Oh well, everything is fine now.
I have been searching the forums for quite a while, to add extra Loopback adapter in Centos 5.1, but no success! Could you please suggest me the steps? in Windows, it is quite easy to add as many adapters as you want. wondering, if this is even possible in Linux? I have to run GNS3/Dynamips for router emulation and bind those Loopback adapters to virtual routers!
I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop. My ISP natively supports ipv6, but since last weekend, I do not get an ipv6 ip. When I use a live cd however, I do get an ipv6 ip. For as far as I can see, all settings (/etc/network/interface and the settings in network manager) are exactly the same.
Output of ifconfig:
Code: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Bcast:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Mask:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX inet6 addr: XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

EDIT: is there a way to let the netwerk be automatically configured as happens during installation? It would be nice to start with a clean and new set of network config files as there were just after I installed Ubuntu on my system, without a full reinstall of my system.
I have a problem with my ipv6 connection: although I can't get ipv6 address with DHCP, I can't use ipv6 network. I tried [URL], and the tortoise is static. I want to fix it out , so I use 'ifconfig' to see my network configuration:
Some people told me that the fisrt ipv6 address was wrong and unsuitable for ipv6 connecting. I tried /ect/init.d/networking restart but it didn't work. How can I use the second address as my ipv6 address and fix the problem out ? Now it seems there is not problem with the ip adress but the route. After watching some video, I suddenly could use ipv6. I did 'ifconfig' again and nothing was different. However, the result from the command 'ip -f inet6 route' changed: the last default route was gone and there was only one default route.
I have installed Bind 9.6.1 on my linux pc. I have to resolve domain name using IPv6 address. I have made following entry in the /etc/resolv.conf file code...
address of the machine on which Bind is running. The problem is that I am not able to ping open-ims.test domain name. If I use IPv4, everything works fine but how to ping domain using IPv6.
I have also made changes in dnszone file by replacing IPv4 address with IPv6 address and also changing A to AAAA.
I have a networking problem with my computer. Under Windows, the computer can get both v4 and v6 address via DHCP. However, the same computer can only get v4 address under Ubuntu. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
