If I plug my iPhone into my laptop via USB cable, the phone gets mounted but no tethering connection is automatically made.I can manually configure ubuntu to tether with my iphone to use it's internet connection like this:
Code:
sudo ifconfig wwan0 up
sudo dhclient
Does anyone know how to make internet connection tethering happen automatically?
I'm using ubuntu 10.04 for a while now And iPhone USB tether worked gr8 (even of the box if I remember well) Now, yesterday at home I upgraded my packages And now today on roads the tethering not working I think kernel got update too - 2.6.25 iPhone - iOS 4.0.1 Ubuntu - 10.04 - recognizing iPhone in rhytmbox and all. Just tether problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I can't get the bluetooth tethering to work still! I have been trying for about 2 weeks. The phone pairs, in blueman I set the phone as a trusted device and click network access point. It then flashes up on the iPhone tethered with the blue banner. Blueman says it is connected. But no net access. Network connections shows no new connections either. Weird, I thought it would appear in there. Is there anything I can do to force it to add the bluetooth link as a network connection?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI can get my system to use the iPhone to tether up, but I don't know how to make Network Manager to do this for me within the GUI somehow. This does work on my eeePC netbook using Ubuntu UNR 10.10. Here is where I think the problem lies. The system sees the phone but doesn't create an ethernet device for it (on either system).
But a:
ifconfig wwan0 up
dhclient wwan0 will make the connection.
On Ubuntu there is a file (/etc/networks) that one can plug some info into, and when once connects the iPhone up to it, it will automatically connect. The data is:
auto wwan0
iface wwan0 inet dhcp.
How would I either make NM work, or accomplish the long way in Fedora, as I could in Ubuntu?
I have an iPhone and I am trying to get Internet tethering to work. I know tethering works on the phone as I successfully got it running under windows. I followed the instructions at the following site
[URL]
I ran the following commands
Firstly I installed dependencies with yum:
yum install libimobiledevice libimobiledevice-devel git gcc
Next I downloaded and compiled ipeth. Note: to do this I also had to install kernel headers, I also had to edit the ipheth.c file as per the instructions on the site for fedora 14 (see below for more)
git clone git://github.com/dgiagio/ipheth.git
cd ipheth/ipheth-pair
make
sudo make install
cd ../ipheth-driver/
sudo make install
[Code]....
This allowed me to successfully make the kernel driver. Once this was made I also copied the config file for the kernel driver to /usr/modipheth.d folder as per the readme instructions in the ipheth*folder.
When I type modprobe ipheth it doesn't state it's an incorrect command. I then plugged in my iPhone. Fedora detected it was plugged in and loaded the iPhone logo on the desktop. Internet tethering is turned on within the phone, however network manager does not see it as a device.
I posted this same thing on the blueman forums (less of a population). I thought I'd post it here as well. I'm a recent convert and am a fanboi but my frustration with this bluetooth deal is getting out of hand.
Let me start by saying I'm a complete newb to ubuntu and blueman. My problem is trying to get blueman to work with iphone tethering, again. I've searched the forums and tried the restarting method; still no dice.
I managed to get the tether working properly at one point in time. I then tried to install some flash player which caused errors in other departments. I reinstalled ubuntu and fully updated it to fix the errors. I completely updated ubuntu and installed blueman through the software manager gui.
I noticed a few things different this time when installing blueman. First, blueman didn't remove the gnome-bluetooth program like it did before. Second, both bluetooth managers appear in the tray up top. Third, blueman will not tether properly. I've managed to pair the decives properly and my iphone even says it's tethered when I select it as an access point in blueman. It will not actually tether providing interwebs to my ubuntu OS.
1. What gives?! Before, any time I would select my iphone as an "access point" a little green ball would appear in the bluetooth icon and it would access the internet.
2. Also, what do my settings under "local services" need to be set to? Do I need to allow blueman to manage all network activity? Do I need NAT enabled? Do I need DHCP checked? Do I need to set as an access point and/or a group network!?
I have just installed ubuntu on my machine which doesn't have Internet. I can access the net on my laptop and copy any files over. I am wanting to install blueman to tether my iPhone. I cannot find a .deb of it, so downloaded the tar.gz but the stock install doesnt have a compiler. I could download and copy over a compiler, but I'm guessing I'm going to be here hours copying over each dependancy that I come across (I'm guessing there may be a few) how I can tether my iPhone or how I can install blueman? Does anyone know of any pre-built packages I can just copy n install?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy network configuration is in a weird situation, that I always need to run dhclient manually each time after a network connection is established. When my computer connects to a router, sometimes it won't get a valid IP, and it uses an automatically generated fake Internet IP. In this situation, it won't connect to the Internet at all. Sometimes it get a valid local network IP, but still cannot connect to WAN, and could only connect to my router's address (both through ping and through router's management webpage). In both situation, it can be solved by a simple dhclient run.
This is my /etc/network/interfaces file:
Code: Select all# 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
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
and this is my /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and from time to time eth0 connection is lost.
Looking at syslog (below), if its a hardware (network card) problem or a software bug?
syslog file:
Latest FC12 update included dhclient-4.1.1-9.fc12 which fails to configure eth0 after restarting the computer. Had to remove/downgrade to 4.1.0* (and reinstall dracut and NetworkManager(-glib)). There is no config file in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d so I don't know how to reset dhcp/eth0 to connect. Thought some one smarter than me might have noticed this by now and worked out a solution. Can't tell that anything in Bugzilla sounds like my problem. Might only be x86_64 or KDE-4.4 problem as my 32-bit Gnome install is not affected. Easy enough to grab the rpms, just annoying. Still haven't learned how to keep a package at version x.x with Fedora yet but that's another topic.

I have a hard wired ethernet connection on a Desktop PC with a static IP address (there are a number of devices in the house) and it has been running 100% for months and months. Why suddenly do I have to enter this command to get connection? When I switch on I get a connection in that when I click on the Top Panel icon and right click Connection Information it tells me I have an active connection to my router on the normal IP address. I cannot ping the router and Firefox says Server not found. After sudo dhclient eth0 everything works - what has happened since yesterday evening and this morning to stop what has been 100% for months?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using network-manager-pptp to create a PPTP VPN connection in my Ubuntu virtual machine for a while now, but I have constant problems with random disconnects. I don't know what the cause of the problem is, but I suspect that network-manager-pptp is not the most well-written piece of software around...
Is there another way of instantiating PPTP connections in a more robust manner? The same PPTP server works reasonably OK with Windows 7 (some disconnects, fewer than in Ubuntu, and Windows has an auto-reconnect feature).
I read some guides on using the pptp command, but they all seemed pretty low-level, messing around with ppp. I never found the time to figure out how it all was supposed to fit together. Has anyone accomplished what I'm trying and is willing to share the knowledge?
EDIT: Tried kvpnc, and it seems the stability is more or less the same as network-manager-pptp. The error message is "Modem hangup".
To clarify, I understand that the connection can go down, but I want to be able to reconnect automatically when disconnected.
I use an ADSL connection which I 'dial' using the Network Manager. My laptop is connected to the modem through an ethernet cable.
The thing is the place where I stay is prone for power failure. So the modem goes out with the power. It comes back on within a minute when the power is restored but Network Manager doesn't seem to automatically re-establish the connection after it is lost once. I have to manually do it. Hence most of my downloads do not get done.
Since that time I moved to Archlinux and I love it. I do however run lubuntu live from a USB for my work PC. I am having a problem with it. I think it's okay to post here because the core of the system is still Ubuntu. I don't think LXDE is the problem. I start up the live environment and it says 'wired connection connected' but I can not load any pages or do anything.
I thought it may be a problem with configuration so I copied down (from Windows) the IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS. I put them in manually and it doesn't say connected any more and still no connection at all. I am unsure what to do from here. I am not really familiar with Ubuntu enough to try much. I tried to 'dhcpcd eth0' but dhcpcd isn't installed. I guess the default Ubuntu network manager has dhcp enabled automatically.
I've installed Debian squeeze using the net installer and while beginning the installation I loaded the 'ppp-udeb' module to connect to the internet for accessing the Debian mirrors during the installation. Now, whenever I boot into Debian, internet connection kicks in automatically. I would want to have control over when to start the internet connection. I don't want it to be triggered during my login.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter an update this week I noticed some strange things with the network.
1. The network connection doesn't activate itself automaticaly. Have to do it every time when booted up.
2. At the taskbar icon the previously "Auto eth0" changed to "System eth0". I guess this is kind of connected to the first issue
3. I can't connect anymore to the windows network -Times out (also worked fine before)
How to set it up to the "old" way?
I'm trying to tether a laptop running 10.04 w/ my cell. It would also be nice to do it with hardy but I can live w/o that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got an iPhone 4 and cannot get wired usb tethering to work. I had the same problem with my old phone, but I was able to wifi tether it without jailbreaking and don't want to have to jailbreak to tether (I don't mind if it is connected via cable, in fact I prefer it).
In both cases, though gnome network manager connects to the phone, and though the phone shows a current tethering connection, the ubuntu system (10.04 Lucid) is not able to load any web pages, despite showing a wired connection, and despite the fact that connection information on this wired connection seems complete (even with an ip address from the iphone and as it did with my old phone). It seems as if there is likely some simple setting that prevents me from using a usb source, though that is a guess.
I searched the forum but could not find anything to solve my problem. I installed Ubuntu via Wubi.exe from windows first time, before deciding to completely format and start with a Linux Ubuntu clean install (64-bit). When I installed it with Wubi.exe, I simply plugged in my Wave and it connected to the internet...no fuss!
Problem is, after clean installing Ubuntu, the same does not happen. I cant connect to mobile broadband. It is worth mentioning that this is my only internet connection available (mobile broadband) and I am thus unable to update, get necessary repositories from Linux etc.
I read something about usb_modeswitch being involved, manually did that, but I still cannot connect to the mobile broadband. Mobile broadband is enabled when I right-click the connections too. I set up the connection for CellC, removed the "Cellcis" username, added it and more, but it still does not connect.
Can anybody give me some pointer on how to go about fixing this connection, because as you can imagine, my Linux install is pretty useless without internet.
The KDE 4.7 announcment states:
The Plasma Workspaces now also offer much improved network management, including experimental support for NetworkManager 0.9 as well as Bluetooth tethering, 3G, VPN, MAC spoofing and other advanced networking options.
However, I don't see any options for Bluetooth tethering in the bluedevil or network manager applets. So, could someone explain how to do bluetooth tethering in KDE 4.7.
I am running OpenSUSE 11.4, KDE 4.7, plasmoid-networkmanagment 0.9.svn1192577-7.2 and bluedevil 1.0.2-3.8.1.
Had a problem getting my internet connection working with Ubuntu, but I resolved that issue. Problem is I still have to manually run dhclient every time Ubuntu boots, because I have no network unless I do. Is there a script or something that can do this automatically?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI apologize if there's a solution to this somewhere on the forum, but I searched around on google for several hours before posting this, so I assure you, I'm not trying to waste your time.Here's the deal. I have a file/print server running wpa_supplicant on interface wlan0 via ndiswrapper. Its wireless because the location I need the printer in is really inconvenient to have to run wires to, or I wouldn't have this problem.The box is running ubuntu server 10.10, with only ndiswrapper and the associated utils and wpa_supplicant installed in addition to the default packages required for file/print/web serving. (there may be a few trivial packages like Vim that should have no effect whatsoever.)Basically, wpa_supplicant associates fine with the AP, but I can't get any elegant way of getting a IP address with it, DHCP or static makes no difference. My current fix is my rc.local file has:
Code:
sleep 60
dhclient wlan0
[code]....
What I currently do is run this script -
Code:
rfcomm release 0
CHANNEL = `sdptool search --bdaddr=00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A dun | grep Channel | cut -c14`
rfcomm bind 0 00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A ${CHANNEL}
wvdial e71bt
And my /etc/wvdial.conf is configured for AT&T connection here in the US.
Question is, is there anyway I can integrate it with NetworkManager, instead of having to run this script?
There's a "Broadband" option on NetworkManager, but I am not able to get it to recognize my cell phone as a modem. The bluetooth applet only allows for file transfer
