Code:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p RicePrinter -v smb://fred:mypass@rice/INKJET -P /root/inkjet.ppd
/usr/bin/enable RicePrinter

Looking at var/log/messages below, it looks like I'm not being offered a lease on this particular network. I can successfully connect to the network because iwconfig wlan0 reveals my network ssid and the access point I'm connected to. But pinging google.com gives me nothing..
Code:
root@darkstar:/# tail -f var/log/messages | grep dhcpcd

I have one pc on which I have installed slackware and samba (fixed IP, mask 255.255.255.0) I have another PC (also XP) which also has fixed IP running XP, and I can connect that to the slackware server easily My third PC connects to the internet and gets its IP address from the Cisco router(?) that provides the IP and mask on boot up.
I tried changing the IP and Mask on the slackware server to match the internet PC (which uses a mask 255.255.254.0) but the PC mask and IP changed on the internet PC I want the PC that connects to the internet to also be able to connect to the slackware server, but I see no need for the slackware server to also connect to the internet - I will mainly use it as a file server When I worked for another company I think the IT department talked about having 2 network cards in the PC that connects to the internet
I have installed slacware 13 on an intel server, but the IP add that i have assigned does not work. I used ifconfig to check the ip but it shows me 127.0.0.1. I have run netconfig with the ip address i need and restart the machine, but it goes back to 127.0.0.1

I try to install lilo to supper sector. it's not works. I only can boot my slackware by a USB stick.who can help me to solve this problem? I really need these two systems.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi can normally adjust the back light settings of my lap top by pressing fn and the up and down aarows. I am using the default xorg server without using xorgconfig in slackware, and it works perfect so far dispite this slight problem. When i do, do that key combo, (in kde) it does display the the meter of brightness, but i can't move the settings. I believe this may be an x issue, but not sure.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am going to buy new hardware for our server. I would like to ask your suggestions about what kind of server is the best choice for slackware. (13.1 32bit) I think about the Lenovo ThinkServer RD120. It seems to be a good choice but I don't have any experience with server hardwares. I use for my servers classic PCs with AMD Athlon and Intel Core2Duo. Once I installed a HP ProLiant With IntelXeon but thats all. Do anybody have experience with the Lenovo ThinkServers especially the RD120? Or do anybody know about some better model in the same category?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to networks and servers, been using Linux on the desktop for a while now but always relied on the company's IT guy for setting up everyting LAN-based.
Now I want to build up my home LAN, and want to do it with Linux. I've managed to set up LAMP and file share servers.
What I am looking for is information on what I need, and how to set up a server for the following tasks:Centralized Username and Password, that when the user logs into any one of the desktops in the LAN, it uses this for authentication
Something that allows this authentication to be utilized in other servers (file access, web access, router logging, etc.). Something to make it easier for continuing permissions from one service to another. e.g. I have IPCop filtering content, and it has provisions for tracking who is making which request if there is authentication going on. (optionally) to run a script for mounting Samba shares or mapped network drives so from one system to the next. For example, in whatever box somebody logs in, it mounts a server share ("smb://Myserver/users/<username>") to a local folder ("my_user_share").
So;user "fred" ="smb://Myserver/users/fred" and user "wilma" = "smb://Myserver/users/wilma" but both would find their respective one mounted under "~/my_user_share". This would be irrespective of which box they are loggin in with. If the server share location changes (new server/servername), I change it on the server so the next time they log in it points to the right place.
I guess it is similar to Window's Active Directory, though I'm not sure what it's called, how to configure it and what it is and is not capable of doing.
I have openSUSE 11.2 installed and i need to create a gateway server that allows virtual private network connections. I want to play with my friends some lan games, but we are in different networks, so i want to create this gateway server so we can connect with VPN clients to this server and play freely.

Like for example after re-editing my network interface,it was like :
As i did a network restart, i get this error saying :
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 2802 killed old client process, removed PID file.
What is this error and how can i fix it,because every time im re booting my server i lost my network config.
I have an opensuse 11.3 install which I want to set up as a network boot server to install Solaris 10 on a Sun Ultra 10 client. According to what I've read, this requires rarpd and tftpd which I've set up on opensuse, but also bootparamd which I can't find for 11.3. It seems it was last included with opensuse 9.2. Does anyone know if it's available, if I could use the suse 9.2 version, or any alternative?

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a small home network. i have laptops and workstations that my family (public) uses and an esxi box (private) that i use to test new apps for work.i need to have the public network separate from private. I have tried using two linksys routers but was unable to get the private network to access the internet. i was thinking i could use iptables with a couple of nics but I am not sure it would work. I know this could be a lot of work for someone that has never used iptables before but will give me a reason to learn it.i am sure setting up a public and private network has been done before i just don't to buy a bunch of hardware. I have a extra workstation and a bunch of nics so i would like to go that route. I am open to suggestions.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 network card on my server at work.Everything works fine for a few weeks, then randomly the network connection on the server will stop working. After it stops working, I will try to reconnect with the network manager, it shows a wired connection available, it shows the "connection in progress"animation, then the "connection disabled" icon.
I uninstalled the network manager and used manual configuration, but do you think the network manager was the issue? I can't have the server disconnecting randomly every few weeks with no way to know what the real problem is. Was there an issue with the network manager with 10.04?
Someone could configure the ipw2100 in ad-hoc mode with WEP? i can't even get the interface up and working (tx-power is off and the ESSID is always "any"). i've tried configuring with iwconfig and the KDE network configurator. There is some previous step to get the wireless card up and running?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem which drives me crazy. There is a website I am unable to connect (and a server). This problem appears only when I am workin at home, using my wifi network with my wifi router. Why am I becoming mad? I have four other systems: W2000, WXP, OpenBSD, Debian, they all use the same wifi router for a connection and there is no problem at all. It is not related to that particular computer cause eg. OpenBSD is installed on the same computer, it uses the same wifi card (so no some kind of a MAC filtration on the side of the router) and working on OpenBSD I can connect. For me it seems that accidentally I set some kind of a wall in the Slackware. But where and how? Where should I look for some filters or settings which may cause such strange behaveour?
Let me be clear: it is only about that particular site, I have an internet connection, I can google, I can do all thing, but I'm unable to connect to exactly this one site. Yeah, you know I always said that all companies should employee me as a super alfa tester. I'm able to broke everything. No system is secure when I'm working on it.
I installed slackware64 13.0 on my Dell D630 laptop. Recently I found a wierd network problem:
Sometimes, after couple of hours, I nearly cannot open new websites. It takes so many time to open a page. (I tried in firefox, lynx and konqueror.
But some other connection still work, such as KRDC.
I tried nslookup and dig, they all works very well, so the DNS is ok.
But ping works very slow with some url if I use the domain name. And it runs very fast with the ip of that url. So, maybe there is some problem with the DNS, or something else.
ping result is:
1) ping by domain name
2) ping by ip (same target)
Restart the network with rc.inet1 cannot fix this problem. Only I can do is reboot the computer.
May be it's a kernel(2.6.29.6) bug? Or the bug of my wireless card driver(BCM 4311)?
When I installed OpenSUSE 11.1 on my server, at some point, I gave the server a description. Whenever I connect to any of the shares on the server, this description appears. For example, on one Windows workstation, there is a share which appears in Windows Explorer as "Midwest on 'Cincinnati Corporate ISS Server (ISS0042)' (T:)".
For the life of me, I cannot find where this description, "Cincinnati Corporate ISS Server", is stored. I've search through /etc, and poked around ad nauseum in YAST, but I am missing it. Where is this description stored? What is the YAST function to change it?
I just installed slackware 13 with kernel 2.6.33.4 , everything seems to be ok so far, but the system does not load eth0.Ive tried netconfig , ive tried to configure rc.inet1.conf by hand and run rc.inet1 eth0_start but nothing works.After running netconfig the system says everything is ok , but when I run ifcofnig there is no eth0.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble getting my wireless card to connect to my network. I believe I have done everything correctly. Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf file:
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
[Code]....
I have never connected to a wpa network using slackware before, so I am not entirely sure how to use wpa_supplicant. I have altered the conf file, then tried dhcpcd and it times out.
Right now I cannot ping to my default gateway. The machine also has SuSE installed on a separate partition. Networking with the same parameters runs fine in that installation.
I use a troubleshooting checklist for situations like this:
- network troubleshooting checklist
- (case of wired connection with static ip)
- make sure net cable is well plugged in on both sides. CHKD.
- make sure ifconfig eth0 details the static IP you want set and that the iface is running (this stage is quite a head start if you've got to it. It would suggest that you have rc.inet1.conf set up properly. CHKD.
- HAL checked against eth0, and it also specifies eth0 for this interface.
- no problem pinging to 127.0.0.1
- type "route" and see if your default gateway comes up. SEMI-CHK: it does come up but takes a long while .. that's bad sign. It still means your rc.inet1.conf is OK, but here's something else up.
- check /etc/resolv.conf for your nameservers .. just in case some over-zealous program has decided to overwrite it. CHKD, all OK .. I use the google nameservers 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.8.8
Despite using what I thought were decent tools of the trade, if I unplug the cable they give the same output!
I have two computers both running slackware on the same network using ext3 filesystems.
What is the easiest and most secure way to mount one drive to the other computer?
