Ubuntu / Apple :: EMac And IMac File Sharing With Ethernet Cable And Other Cable?
Oct 12, 2010
how I could file share, or make the whole Hard Drive (HDD) accessible to another computer. The two other computers I have are a Toshiba Laptop with Ethernet and USB, and a iMac Intel with Firewire, USB, and Ethernet. Putting these to use along with:
Three Ethernet Cables
Two Printer Peripheral USB Cables
The Two Computers
A 2GB Flash Drive
That is all I can think of right now. I do not want to use CDs. In a way, I would like to do a network boot. So, how do I get the whole HDD visible to the others computers (either/both) and be able to write to it? I want to put Xubuntu on it, and earse the rest of the Hard Drive. The computers getting this are the iMac G3s and the eMac G4. The eMac has 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 700MHz processor. Two iMacs have 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 600MHz Processor. The other iMac is the same as the rest but has a 500MHz processor.
Using ubuntu 10.10 (pinguy OS) i connected an ethernet cable from my girl's macbook pro to her lenovo ideapad s10-3t to transfer some DS9 episodes onto it. new enough to linux to have not been able to figure out how to access the files on the mac, so i disconnected the ethernet, and the wireless hasn't worked since. tried everything i know, and googling for a while (as well as searching again on this forum) to no avail.
Just before linking the 2 computers via ethernet, the wireless worked fine on the ideapad, always had; but not so after the ethernet connection that did nothing other than apparently kill the wireless. an "lshw -C network" command tells me i have a BCM4313 wireless card, and *-network UNCLAIMED. also, if i launch "install additional drivers", i see that the proprietary driver is not active.
How could merely plugging in an ethernet cable that happened to be conncected to a MBP running OSX.6 do that? and will that happen again? i thought linux was supposed to play real nice with other OS's, so why did a simple file transfer kill my wireless connectivity? i have no access to internet via ethernet cable, so i cannot just download the driver i need now. shouldn't it still be in the computer still? somewhere? is there a simple solution to this, or has the wireless driver been wiped out by plugging in the ethernet? is this a bug that should be reported?
I am running Ubuntu Linux 9.10 on my laptop and desktop. I would like to transfer files from one to the other using an Ethernet Cross Over Cable. Is there software already installed in the bundle, that would allow me to setup network drives for each machine when the cable is connected. Also how would I setup the configuration.
I just purchased an HP Pavilion p6710f desktop with an ralink wireless n card, and 11.04 won't recognize it in 'Additional Drivers'. I can't get it to an ethernet cable, and then check for more additional drivers (did this on an old laptop), so what can I do??
Can Cat5e RJ45 connector crimper be used for Cat 6 connector because I heard cat 6 connector is different from cat 5e connector and also same question for cable tester can cat5e cable tester be used for cat 6 cable?
Linux box could act as a router? I have one machine running ubuntu, another running windows 7, a cable modem and a switch. Is it posible to share the connection between both computers by making the linux box a "router"?
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my girlfriends laptop a couple days ago...had the Ethernet cable plugged in to do the install...loaded fine the first time after the install. Unplugged the Ethernet cable when I had the wireless network set up and it froze. Restarted and it wouldn't even load the desktop. Didn't make the connection at first...thought there was something wrong with Unity. After about a day and a half worth of searching Unity problems/desktop freezing and solutions, I stumbled across this:

Do you have a Broadcom card? You have probably noticed the desktop works when you run Ethernet but it locks up when your wireless connection is active.
You'll need to upgrade the kernel to fix the issue. 2.6.39.0 did it for me.
11.04 just runs fine now.
This solution was to update the kernel, but that didn't work for me. Now I'm stuck.
I just built my first pc, installed ubuntu 9.10 and tried connecting to the net through my ethernet cable and all that happens is it says cannot find server. Do I need to install network settings & if so what & where,or should it automatically detect them? As this is my first build I am a novice but am willing to listen & learn.
At the outset I would like to tell everyone that I am still relatively a newbie in linux. I use a usb mobile broadband data card to connect to the internet, and I recently purchased another desktop for my wife. Both of us do not share any files, but I do not have a router and was wondering if I could share my connection with her using a crossover cable.I did a lot of Googling around and tried various different things, I even followed another thread in the same forum but the most that I have got is my network manager saying that connection has been established. I am however not able to see her computer under my windows network and don't know how to proceed.I don't know where I am going wrong, and considering that my knowledge of networking is at below basement level, I would really appreciate any help in this regard.
I am trying to run a cable from my wireless router over a 75ft cat6 cable to my bedroom. I don't get any connection on my end and I don't have any other ideas. I did setup a m0n0wall box just to try. I got the network led on my server to light up in my room but nothing more than that. Lastly, I tried adding a 5 port switch in my room and then connecting that to my server and nada.
I am using Ubuntu Server version 10.4, and am trying to connect to the internet via an ethernet cable. This may and probably is incredibly simple, however, I could not find anything that pertains to it.
I have installed ubuntu 10.6.4 in my dell inspiron laptop but my ethernet card is not working when I connect my lan cable to it. But it is working well in windows vista. How to load drivers for it.
When the ethernet cable is plugged in, it doesnt work. I have to unplug the cable, refresh the page and let it wait for the connection, after a second or two, i plug it back in, and it works. this works only for that page, which means only that page loads.. if i try to open another site or smthing else, it doesnt work and i have to repeat the exercise for the new site..i have to unplug, refresh and let it wait for connection and plug it back in.. The same thing happens if i try to download an application.. i have to first issue the command to download, and when it says "connecting to blah blah.." i plug the cable back in and it starts downloading, it doesnt work if the cable is already plugged it..!
Im a long time Ubuntu user (since 5.04), but networks were never my speciality, I have a desktop running 10.10, connected to the internet trough a US robotics modem (connection eth1), and i want to share its network with my laptop running win7, over a cat5 cable (connection eth0), but the problem is I dont seem to understand what i am doing wrong, what the missing steps required, or in which end is the problem (either ubuntu or windows side).
From what I could grasp was needed googling about the subject, i already set the eth0 connection to share with other computers (in network manager edit connections auto eth0 ipv4 configuration set to share with other computers). Also using the cli set eth0 for static ip using :
Code: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 Now the question is what i am missing? or is everything needed already done and i just have to properly configure the win7 side (which i already checked several times)?
Here is my ifconfig output:
Code: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Endereo de HW 00:01:29:a6:55:fe inet end.: 10.42.43.1 Bcast:10.42.43.255 Masc:255.255.255.0 endereo inet6: fe80::201:29ff:fea6:55fe/64 Escopo:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Mtrica:1
My WiFi can connect to internet without any problem, until I plug my ethernet cable ...then I lose internet.
So the question is : how do I configure my ip/dns and stuff to still have internet when I'm plugged by cable at the same time! it was working on windows ;-)
How can I find a MAC of hardware attached via ethernet cable? I have been working nicely with an industrial scanner that is controlled by a Linux PC via an ethernet cable, but the hard drive has died I need to get it working again. The problem is that the main PCB has a Realtek RTL8019AS ethernet controller chip: [URL] which I believe is used in the most basic way possible, applied straight off-the-shelf and unconfigured. To utilise the chip ARP commands are used to assign an IP address to the chips MAC address e.g. something like:
arp -s 192.168.2.5 00-05-a4-00-a8-f8
Unfortunately the actual MAC address was lost along with the HD Th only thing I could have a reasonable guess at is that the chip will have a default subnet of 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0
write a C program to detect whether the Ethernet cable is plugged or unplugged. I found out by using a command "nm-tool" in Linux terminal will show me whether a Ethernet cable is plugged or not. If Ethernet cable is plugged, in the device part of eth0, the Hardware Link of Wired Settings will indicate a "yes" and "no" if no Ethernet cable. Hence, in my previous code, I use one function called popen to read the state as shown below:
PHP Code:
[code]....
However, now my project wish to not use the NetworkManager (where the "nm-tool" command comes from). And this gives me trouble to detect the Ethernet cable. So is there any other method for me to detect the Ethernet cable in C programming?
A MacBook Pro here (1151A, 1,2?, anyway a 2006 model). Ubuntu 8.04
When the power cable comes out, the laptop blacks out. I mean, it kind of goes into sleep mode, but only with the screen going dark. Anything running keeps running.
I know it is a bug, and I did my homework. I researched it. It usually comes to the point where you need to disable an "event" on "power cable out" in the power management settings of gnome. I did that, but the problem is still there.
I was turning off the computer before, loosing all my work, because there is no way to bring the display back. However recently I discovered two work arounds:
1) Restart X server: CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE (you loose stuff)
2) FN+CTRL+ALT+F7 which takes you back to your desktop, you do not loose anything.
I'm a new user of Ubuntu, so i'm not that familiar with this OS. My wireless network is detected but when I'm entering my 128 bits WEP key, it doesn't connect at all. I have no clue where to start troubleshooting.
Here's some of my specs if that's of any help: Computer is a Sony Vaio laptop model VGN-SZ370P My wireless card is from Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller
The ethernet cable connection used to work before, but I fooled around with some commands and now seems to be disabled...
OS: Maverick Ethernet driver: tested with sky2 an sk98lin This has been driving me crazy for the last few months: if I unplug ethernet cable while my laptop is on reconnecting it sometimes does not bring the connection back.
And once ethernet is gone nothing that I try seems to consistently bring it back. Rebooting, disabling/enabling the driver, disabling/enabling NIC in BIOS, changing driver from sky2 to sk98lin, deleting connection from Network Manager, resetting the router - nothing helps. It seems to come back randomly a few weeks later. Once I used live Ubuntu on a USB stick and ethernet came back not only on a live distro but then when I rebooted also on my main OS. But when I tried that trick next time ethernet was missing in the live distro as well.
Also once I was able to revive ethernet but compiling sk98lin driver, blacklisting sky2 and rebooting. Of course next time doing the same routine did not help. The thing is - ethernet works fine with either sky2 or sk98lin and I can unplug the cable and plug it back in most of the time without any issues. But then every so often - bang and I'm stuck with only wireless until ethernet suddenly starts working again.
Router works fine, debian refuses to work with it. I continued the install anyway but only have the first DVD so now I've got a useless base install that can't connect to the internet.
The fact that this installer has utterly failed where the others succeeded had drastically reduced my confidence in the debian team.
I have a debian-powered NAS (Buffalo LinkStation) and I want to configure the following behaviour: When ethernet (eth0) is plugged in, connect and get a static ip address (ie. 192.168.0.11) When a wireless usb-adapter (wlan0) is plugged in, connect to a wireless router (ie. "Ankkanet") get another static ip address (192.168.0.12)
My /etc/network/interfaces :
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static
[code]....
what could be causing wireless to disconnect when ethernet cable is unplugged?
if i would know the terms i could search for it, so bare with my words: i got an old PC, and my ethernet-cables don't fit into its plug (port?). its a little smaller than the usual one. how is it called and what am i looking for (whats the name of the plugs which need to fit, whats the measure. all i could see is male/male and some voodoo stuff like RJ333 <-wrong.
How can I find out programmatically if a cable has been removed from an ethernet connector where the interface is "up" ??? Without using ping of course. Sidebar question, if I have two interfaces on the subnet how can I force a ping out a specific interface? Say, I have 192.168.5.14 and 192.168.5.13 and I want to throw a ping out *.13 and not *.14 ..
I've recently bought a recycled computer for my office. The plan was to get an old cheap computer and use it to write LaTex documents but nothing else. However, I can't seem to get the thing to connect to the internet. I'm on a University network which has a funny setup but I don't think that's the problem.So here's the deal. I have tried this with 9.04, 10.04 and 10.10 and it hasn't worked. The computer recognizes the ethernet cable. If I issue the command "sudo mii-tool eth0" and get back "eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok". However, click on the networking logo on the top right, and click auto eth0, it tries to connect for about 30 seconds, then gives up. Unfortunately I'm pretty clueless when it comes to networking so I have no idea what to do to try to fix this.
