OpenSUSE Network :: 11.2 Vpnc Does Not Handle Split Horizon Properly
Dec 30, 2009
I WAS using opensuse 11.1 with gnome networkmanager and vpnc. I am NOW using opensuse 11.2 with gnome networkmanager and vpnc.When vpn concentrators are configured, they are configured with 'split horizons' (or not). If not, a default route is required from the client to pass ALL client traffic through the vpn connection. (when the connection is established, the vpn client replaces the default route on the client machine to point to the host site) If 'split horizons' is enabled, only the traffic bound for the host site is passed through the vpn connection.
What I have noticed, is since I installed 11.2, the vpn client is NOT enabling split horizon on connections that call for it. In stead, it is putting in a default gateway every time. This is a big problem, because for those sites that are configured for split horizon, doing this means that no Internet traffic will pass unless you manually adjust the route table.
With fc12 vpnc starts allows me to connect to my work site then everything works fine til I try and start a remote desktop connections to a windows client use tsclient. All I get is a blackscreen and my laptop is hung.
At work without the vpnc it works fine if I start the vpnc from nm it performs the exact same way and I get the blackscreen.
I have disable selinux.I also disabled the firewall
there was another gentlemen on here with the same issue.
The only way out is a hard reboot and there are no messages in the logs that say there were any problems.
I've been trying to connect to my office Cisco VPN several time using the network-manager-vpnc GUI in Ubuntu Karmic with no success. I read a couple of articles and i tried using the direct command line way:
Code: sudo vpnc office with the following /etc/vpnc/office.conf file:This is fictional data Code: IPSec gateway vpn.office.com IPSec ID office IPSec secret 0ff1c3 which worked perfecly.
So i went back to the Network Manager GUI way and i used the same credentials. Same fictional data I got a libnotify message telling me it couldn't connect.Anyone know how i could troubleshoot this issue? Would be great to have it integrated in gnome instead of running a background command which is not tracked by nwm.
It hangs at the end and I can see in /var/log/messages "modem-manager: (net/tun0) could not get port's parent device" and then eventually "withdrawing workstation service for tun0".
My settings are correct and other people seem to be able to connect.
I am not using KNetworkManager because of an issue on my machine regarding rfkill.
I've not found how to configure more than one ip address with network manager.Nor with kde nor with plasmoid network manager.I need several virtual ip addresses for eth0 when the "default" of eth0 is connected i.e. "Connected to Auto eth0" should initialize the virtual interfaces.I have not found no even how to configure the ip address.I think this will be used from ifup config in yast or not?There I have the virtual interfaces but they are not taken from network manager.And last but no least: Is it possible that when using network manager the eth0 is enabled even no user has logged in?
When logging in to a remote server and starting Nautilus, I then want to add and bookmark an ssh connection to another remote server. I get an EM 'cannot find the location' and when going to 'network locations' EM 'Nautilus cannot handle network locations'. I 've been googling for a few hours, and found a lot of threads that point to gvfs, to samba and to rebooting and reinstalling. Rebooting I did, reinstalling is not possible,the gvfs thing is very unclear. There was an Em on the command line when starting Nautilus: "share extensions disabled", I got rid of that by uninstalling nautilus-share-extensions. Opensuse 11.2 fully updated, running as Kiwi-Ltsp server.
I have my OpenSuse 11.1 box set up with utf-8, however, every time I try to open a file with utf-8 characters with vi it can't handle those characters properly.
I currently have a home network setup so that my main machine shares it's external hard-drive via NFS. This has been working perfectly for months, however I just got a new laptop, installed openSuse 11.3 x64 and set everything up. Now there is two folders on the external network mount that won't let me do anything and always just return Networking: Stale NFS File Handle. The system still works fine under my old openSUSE 11.2 x86 laptop. I have tried unmounting the drive from the laptop, restarting the NFS client, and restarting the NFS server on the main machine. None of these have made a difference.
It is only these two folders that are effected. Everything else works just fine.
I want to share my WiFi internet connection over LAN, so I'm trying to set up IP forwarding. An old tutorial tells me to go to Network Settings in YaST to do this, but that applet says that NetworkManager is now handling all of that stuff.How do I enable IP forwarding while NetworkManager handles my internet connections?
Recently after upgrading my kernel (via /repositories/Base:/Kernel/standard) I have had issues with the network not starting properly on bootup. The kernel is 100% SUSE-patched and behaves perfectly outside of that one issue. To get the network to "start" (DHCP issued, eth0 brought up) I have to 'rcnetwork start' in a shell. I've checked to make sure my config is right in both ifcfg-eth0 and 'config' for /etc/sysconfig/network, but nothing affects the outcome.
How do I get the boot scripts to bring up eth0 and issue a DHCP on startup?
Here's the output of 'rcnetwork start -o debug fake':
I'm trying to connect to a Cisco VPN at work from Ubuntu 10.10. On earlier versions, I was able to import the config and get it working. In 10.10, though, the best I've gotten is being able to connect to the VPN, see the welcome message, and have packets sent over the tunnel. I don't receive any packets, though.
The command-line vpnc client connects just fine. I found this bug report: [URL]
The symptoms it describes are exactly what I'm seeing. The apparent solution is to "make sure in your config that LZO Compression is enabled (checked) under Advanced"; however I see neither an option for compression nor an "Advanced" tab, button, or anything on my VPN config in Network Manager.
I just got vpnc setup to work with my VPN at work and now I am trying to figure out how to limit the traffic that is routed through the VPN while I'm connected to it. I only want traffic going to the local domain to be routed through the VPN.This is what my vpnc config file looks like:
Code: IPSec gateway publicdomain.example.com IPSec ID XXXX
i got everything working on my laptop, i just can't set up my network sharing..
I have a desktop pc running Windows 7, and this laptop running openSuse 11.1!
I use Gnome by the way... When i get to Network in Nautilus, i double click on Windows Network -> Workgroup -> Windows7PC, but at that point i don't see any folders or anything..
This is my smb.conf file:
Code: # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the # samba-doc package is installed. # Date: 2008-12-03

In firewall i added Samba in broadcast, followed some tutorial on the net..
On fresh install of 11.4 everything worked fine, but after some updates networkmanager stopped working properly on my netbook (intel atom n270 based).When I log in, network manager shows that networking is disabled and I can't connect. Checking/unchecking the checkbox does nothing. All settings in Yast are OK.To make it work, run "/etc/init.d/network restart" and then plug in the wire OR (in case of wireless connection) I restart network from console, unchecck and check the checkbox in networkmanager and only then it starts to work as it should.
I have properly configured my router to open a port for Transmission and Vuze. The OpenSuSE firewall settings are somewhat confusing, however. How do I add a port specifically for the BT protocol? I know it's the firewall causing issues, because when I shut it down, my BT apps roar to life, and die with a whimper when I turn it back on. In Ubuntu, opening a port in the router is automatically configured in the firewall; that is apparently not the case with this distro.
So, when I go to Yast Firewall, I see "allowed services" under the tabs available. When I hit that tab, I see a dropdown menu that contains services such as NetBios Server and Samba Server. Am I choosing one of those available and adding a port to it? Am I adding a custom service via the Advanced settings, and if so, why isn't there a way to label the service so that it shows up under allowed services?
My machine can connect to wireless router and renew IP address. Also it can connect to a server via vpn/ssh, but I just cannot surf the web. I tried both Firefox and Chrome but neither worked.I am using my Windows machine now. This machine uses the same router.I'm using SUSE 11.2 and everything was fine yesterday evening. It seems both browser just suddenly stopped working.How can I DEBUG it?
I am trying to view a share I have on a windows computer but nautilus claims it can't handle that. I tried it in dolphin and found the file but when I tried to open it gedit claims it cannot handle smb locations either!
Is/are there a tutorial(s) for KDE 4 maybe written for OpenSuse? I'd especially like to get a better handle on having different activities on different desktops. I've seen one for PCLinuxOS that refers to something called ZUI and zoom in & out but am having trouble relating.
I might become a new kde4 user within a few weeks since I am testing suse 11.3 and kde4 seems to be, at last, stable enough to be used daily. But, there is one thing that is annoying : I used to split horizontally and vertically ad lib the konqueror file manager to drag and drop any file from a directory to another and have a global view of many directories simultaneously. That great feature doesn't seem to be available in dolphin, which is a good and performant file manager that I'd like to adopt. Any clue to split horizontally dolphin? Plugin? Script? Repository?
Has anyone else experienced issues with this option? Using the tweak tool from Malcolm's repo. If I set it, it works in the current session. But after logout, I can't login again. At login the desktop appears briefly then closes back to the login screen.
openSUSE 11.2 (i586) VERSION = 11.2 on an IBM x3250
Problem is that after the screen comes up to chose the default version or failsafe, my monitor shows no input. If I delete the VGA 0x031 (i think that's the number) on the Options line in the screen where you chose the version, I get my command line interface.
I've been trying to install Opensuse 11.3 from the Kde live cd, but the installation hangs when I'm almost done. Right at the beginning the installation is interrupted right with text that among other things says:
Bug: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90010b8000. After a while though, the installation picks up and continues by itself. I'm then able to complete the necessary steps and I reboot the system so that it can complete the installation.
After reboot there is a new text message that says that the bios does not support EEC memory or something to that effect and then continues with the installation. When it has completed 82% of the autoconfiguration the installation just stops and stays that way.
I've had no problem installing previous releases, from 10.2 up to 11.2, on the same machine.
I've checked md5 sum and also checked the media before proceeding with the installation.
Upon reboot after the first installation step, I also tried the failsafe mode but got the same result.
Can you "split" a network interface in Ubuntu, similar to how airmon-ng lets you use your wireless card in managed and monitor mode, by making another interface out of the same hardware? I know it'd be slower, but I'd still like to do it.
I have just recently installed Ubuntu karmic on one of my machines. The network worked perfectly until today, when it just wont connect. I have double checked that the SSID and Password are correct. It is a WPA network. I am sure it is a problem with my computer, not the network, because my brother's laptop (which I am using right now) has ubuntu 9.10 installed on it and the network is working perfectly.
I use Ubuntu 10.04. Last night, I installed the most recent updates for this istribution, and before I shut off my laptop, my internet was working smoothly. However, today my Internet connection is behaving very strange. When I try to connect to the internet, my browser times out or cannot establish a connection. I'm able to connect to low-input sites like Google search, but I cannot connect to sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, or even the Ubuntu forums (I'm currently using a friend's laptop to post this). Pidgin and Skype work without a problem, as well as Transmission. I primarily use Firefox, but I also tried Chrome, Opera, and Epiphany; none of them worked. Oddly enough, my update manager also cannot connect to the Internet to retrieve updates.
I have restarted my router, but it still works properly, as it is running fine on my friend's laptop. I have tried 'no proxy' in Firefox, but it did not help. I also disabled IPv6 in etc/sysctl.conf by adding the code:
I have installed ubuntu on Vmware.I work in Lan environment and I have 2 local linux servers in my office.I have installed nagios on ubuntu.but nagios doesnt show other hosts in office.How to do I add other hosts in the office in nagios so that I can monitor network properly?
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, coming from 10.04 and the wired network connection sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. Right now I manually removed current network from System-->Preferences--> network connections, define a new one, and reboot. This usually fixes, although I've had to do this two times in the past.
Other general info Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, EVGA P55 motherboard, on board either net.
