OpenSUSE Network :: Router Configuration - Get Computer To Share Internet With Laptop
Dec 29, 2009
I've just spent the entire night trying to get my computer to share Internet with my laptop. I have DSL Internet with the modem configured to bridge mode. On the openSUSE server I have two NIC's. When setting up the DSL (pppoe) it created a dsl0 which is using the NIC eth0. So now I have dsl0, eth0, and eth1 I configured eth1 for DHCP server. When I connect with my laptop using DHCP it gets an IP address just fine. However I can't access the Internet. I think my problem is in the Kernel IP Routing Table. Here is the output from /sbin/route -n
[Code]...
dsl0 obtains IP from ISP eth0 is set to DHCP although that confuses me because how can the same NIC have two IP Addresses? eth1 static IP 10.30.60.1
I have a Opensuse 11.4 workstation that has two ethernet ports and I was wondering if there is the chance to use the other ethernet port as a switch to a Mac/PC?
Where can I find set up information in order to share internet between my Ipod touch and my laptop? Laptop is connected to cable modem and has wifi interface (so no wireless router).
Since I have 3 Network cards in my Desktop PC I've configured it to act as a Router using GNU/Linux Ubuntu Lucid in combination with Samba so I could share my internet connection. It works on any laptop a connect to it using any of the network cards ports [regardless of the operating system installed on the Laptops], but when I plug that same network cable to any Desktop PC [regardless of the operating System installed] it doesn't even light the LED in the netcards. From the Client PC seems like nothing is plugged in the the netcards.
OpenSuse 11.4 Asus Netbook 1000H Following other members in the forums I have installed Opensuse 11.4 on the Netbook. In the early days Ubuntu Netbook Remix worked well for me. But this has been discarded, and the "one size fits all" Ubuntu had become slow and cumbersome. So..... onto my post. Opensuse is working well. The install went beautifully.
It detected the Wireless Internet and I am able to get on line. I also need to share the Internet connection to a desktop. This is done via a small network switch. Thus far I cannot do this. I tried to use ifup to configure a static ip but this busted my Wireless configuration. I went back to knetwork manager. Then I tried to set up the wired network using knetwork manager and under IPV4 "share" the connection. But this blanks out any possiblity of a static address and substitutes dhcp. My desktop cannot ping the this dhcp address. Ubuntu had this thing called Firestarter? - from memory. This configured the system to sharing the network.
I'm having a strange problem with my network connection/DNS. I turn computer the on and it recognizes and connects to wireless or wired but I can't access any Internet resources or my router. If I ping the default gateway, I get no response and I get DNS errors from any network services that run at start up. If I stop and start the network daemon then it all works fine until the next time I turn on my laptop. It does this for both wireless and wired connection.
I've tried to edit the network interface information in YaST but it says that configuration is handled by knetworkmanager and I have no idea where that information is accessed. I should point out that it all worked fine until I tried to connect to open WAP at my school and couldn't so I connected to the wired network. Next morning I had this problem when connecting to my home network. My questions are 1. What could be the cause of this error and 2. where does one configure the network interfaces when using knetworkmanager
I've seen lots of other issues similar to mine on this forum and others, but had no joy in resolving this problem. I can connect to my router web interface, using both wireless and ethernet cable, but cannot connect to the internet with either.
I can't ping any IP address or hostname. When I type route into the terminal, I get:
Code: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
There are extra 'default' destinations in there, because of things I have tried from other posts. I have had internet working. It was working for months, but it all stopped working when I installed Skype, vpnc and kvpnc (VPN Client GUI). I don't know if this is just coincidence. I did get connected to my VPN, but shortly after installing Skype, everything outside my local network (i.e. internet and VPN) stopped working.
I'm writing this from another laptop on the local network, so the internet obviously working fine - just not from my own laptop. I'm running openSUSE 11.1 (i586), KDE 4.1.3 "release 4.10.4". And in "sysinfo:/" it says Network Status: "You are online" Like I said, internet doesn't work for both ethernet and wireless. Can't ping anything. I can access router web interface at 192.168.1.1
installed openSUSE 11.3 and round that both wireless and ethernet connections could connect ok to my router but couldnt access the internet. I think its a bug because I didn't have this issue in previous versions of openSUSE.
The solution is to go into the ip settings in the wireless configuration, select the option to manually assign ddresses (not DCHP) and
- enter the ip address of your router in the default gateway and DNS server addresses
- manually assign an ip address to your computer rather than have the router do it
- it has to be in the same range as your router -n normally 192.168.1.x where x can be any number not already used.
OpenSUSE 11.3 x64 KDE I dont know what happened it is a new install thats been running for 2 weeks . Now for some reason I can not access the internet or the router. Samba is working with Dolphin I can browse shares on local network both Windblows and Linux and ping local IP's. But I can NOT ping my router (the default gateway IP) with this box or access it with firefox so no internet. A VirtualBox of XP Pro running on this box has no problems with its bridged adapter getting out and seeing the router. I disabled the firewall, added gateway IP to network settings, disabled ipv 6 from the get go, added service provider dns's to nameservers tried opendns servers also.
I dug up an old pentium 3 computer to play with. I have it connected to my laptop with an ethernet cable. Now, how do I access the files, install new OS, etc, etc? If it helps any, I think it runs windows 2000 and I'm on opensuse 11.3.
I have 2 laptop with opensuse 11.2. One of them is connected to the Internet through a Mobile Connection with a CDMA/EDVO modem on the usb port. I want to share the Internet connection with the other laptop through the WiFi interface of each of them. How should I proceed?
I have two network cards in my computer (Debian). One (eth0) is connected to the router which is connected to the internet, the other one (eth1) is connected to my laptop (Gentoo). Now I want to surf the web both on my computer and on my laptop. I obeyed some tutorials "Linux as router":
2. Laptop has IP 192.168.0.2 and this is the output of 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' on my computer:
Code:
takada:/etc/network# cat interfaces # 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
But a ping from my laptop to 192.168.1.1 (router to internet) still gives:
Is there a good way to set up internet tracking on an openSUSE 11.3 computer? I don't want users visiting porn sites or any other nonsense, and if they do, I want to know about it. Is there a good program that the administrator can set up to report this kind of thing or at least track it? Obviously, this would need to track all websites visited regardless of the application/browser used, and would need to be completely inaccessible to users. I don't want them having the ability to turn it off or circumvent it somehow.
I have an adsl modem acting as a bridge to my router my setup was working well for more than year now , but then the internet went slow . I set the modem back to PPPoE the problem was with the DNS server of the ISP so using ifup i set the dns t 8.8.8.8 (google) the connection is back , but when i set the modem back as a bridge slow internet does the router know that my dns is 8.8.8.8 or i should set the dns on the router ? I can't see an option to set the dns on the router ( i just enter my username and password from the isp to use PPPoE mode ) by the way i called the isp support they kept telling me to restart , i told them i did but i never restarted my pc . I'm sure if i tell them i'm running linux they will blame the os !
I'm going to an area with no wired internet connection so I would gather information on if it is possible and how to make working the following configuration for an home network:
a wireless access point connected to a laptop (an old one with a centrino Duo) with a usb stick for UMTS connection to the internet it is possible to use the laptop for routing to the internet the requests (http, ftp, mail etc..) of the PC connected to the home LAN which software have I to install on the laptop?
I'm try to setup a wireless network with my linksys wireless router and my HP laptop dual booting Vista & Suse 11.2. I have the vista networked, just fine. Where I can share files and the printer connected to my desktop. But I want to be able to use Suse in the same way, full time and to stray away from Vista. My wife and kids like easy. So I'm trying to transform them and show them something new.
I have a desktop computer (Ubuntu) connected to one of the LAN ports of the Cradlepoint MBR1000 router via an Ethernet cable. I also have a Verizon mobile broadband USB modem (USB760) plugged into the USB port of the Cradlepoint router.I also have a laptop (Ubuntu) with a wireless wi-fi adapter (802.11g). The laptop also has an Ethernet card but I'm not using it. The desktop computer does not have a wi-fi adapter, only the laptop does.
With the above setup, I have Internet access to both the desktop computer as well as the laptop computer, which I am well pleased with.Is there a way I can have file sharing between the desktop and the laptop, or at least ping between them, the way I have it set up? I can't use the ad-hoc method because for that to work each computer needs a wi-fi adapter. The router is using DHCP but can also be configured manually.
I wanted to know if i can install mrtg on a client computer in network and measure the network's router traffic.i know that it can be installed on the server.
I'm trying to setup a wireless AP with my old asus eeepc, so it can act as a repeater to connect my android device on the other end of the apartment. I've already created the Wireless Access Point using hostapd. It took very little configuring, just changed from mode 'a' to 'g' and changed the channel from 60 to 1 and It was all set. Next I setup a dhcp server. Also simple enough using yast.
Up to this point, I was able to connect my android device to the newly created wireless network. However It doesn't have internet access. I guess I have to configure iptables for this, but I find it incredibly confusing! Here are a few specs to help with any examples: The laptop is connected to the internet through eth0 with IP 192.168.2.120 Hostapd is using wlan0, and I'm pretty sure it created mon.wlan0 So, to sum up, when I connect my android device to the network I can, for instance, see what ever pages apache is currently serving on the laptop, but can't access the internet.

Im posting after reading through a lot of articles explaining the same thing on how to share an internet connection from a computer with two NICs.
I have the following simple setup
When I first followed this guide
I was able to ping between the GW and a client on the LAN but couldn't access the internet from it. So I started to configure different things to get it to work which failed.
Now I can't ping between GW and the LAN. I tried to follow the same guide over again and even flushing the tables but still...
These are my current settings (without any chains).
(this client also has a wireless connection displayed in 'ifconfig')
i have a problem with my new router and ubuntu 10.10. The problem is that my internet connection show me that my laptop had connect to internet but my browser can't open a website ( this problem is the same with my netbook ) to fix it always must turn it off and after on either it never makes.
I have a Linksys router configured via Windows 7 and have to other PC's using Ubunto, and would like to share folders on the 2 Linux boxes with the Windows Laptop. I can see the windows network through the Linux machines but not vice-versa. I also have a Konica 1400W printer connected to the Linux box but can't get the W7 laptop to find it.Sharing message box states I haven't installed the correct sharing packages, but cant find them
I'm currently moving a lot (200G) from an external hard drive on one pc to an external hard drive on a laptop and I'm using scp to do it. I have a bt home hub 2.0 and as luck would have it my laptop keeps getting disconnected from the network.I'm worried that this will result in data loss or corruption as this has happened about 5 or 6t times just that I was aware of.
downloaded the Ubuntu Netbook OS and it works great but I have a Hp mini 1010nr with built in wifi. I can not get Ubuntu to recognise it and so my Computer will not find my router network. How do I get it to get online? [URL]...
I am thinking of moving the router behind a server and connecting the server directly to the internet via a modem. Are there any security issues related to doing this? or other things I should be aware of. Iptables are implemented on the server blocking access on unused ports.
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and would like to share this computer on my windows network. I understand that Samba is the way to go, but how do I configure linux with Samba so I can share files and printers? I am able to see my windows computers (vista and xp) but I am not able to see the linux computer with those machines plus I would like to change the network name of the linux machine if possible. Please any help and information will be much appreciated. Eventually I would like to server a printer from this linux machine to the other windows machines.
When I connect my Debian PC to my WiFi router my PC doesn't get internet if other devices are connected to it .
When i disconnect those devices and connect my Debian PC only then my PC connects to internet but other devices connected to it later do not get inernet connection.
When I connect my Debian PC using LAN Cable to the same router all devices work fine.
Would it be possible to insert another wired network card into the router-connected computer, share the internet connection and be able to transfer files between the two?
