Ubuntu :: Boot A PC From Ethernet?
Mar 22, 2011I've messed about with etherboot/gPXE roms & NICs, and I know how to boot a PC from Ethernet... but is it planned/possible using native wifi hardware?

Ubuntu Networking :: Boot Windows First To Make Ethernet Work?
Jul 16, 2011I installed UBUNTU 10.10 alongside windows 7. Now the problem is: If i boot into UBUNTU first, ethernet does not work. But it works if i boot windows first and restart back into UBUNTU. Which means i have to boot windows first to make ethernet work on UBUNTU every time i start my PC.

Feb 8, 2011I am basically wanting to use my Ubuntu 10.10 computer as a router. Note: Before you say just get a router please note that I am poor/cheap. I have two ethernet connections and one wireless connection on my netbook. I want to share the internet connection that is going into one of the ethernet cards through the other ethernet card and the wireless card.
DSL-->1sr Eth --> 2nd Eth (currently works)
DSL-->1sr Eth --> Wireless Card (Adhoc) <--(connects with limited connectivity AKA no internet)
The 2nd Ethernet card already has working internet, but when I connect to the Wireless card (through an Adhoc network), it cannot get an IP (I believe).

May 15, 2011I recently installed Vortexbox, which includes fedora release 14.Got everything working, but could not access the network. After a bit of searching, found that "ifup eth0" activated the interface.To do this on boot, I have added this command, together with my "mount /dev/..." command in file /etc/rc.localIt works OK, but I cant help thinking there's a proper way of doing this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedRed Hat :: PXE Boot (pxelinux.0) Is Using The Wrong Ethernet Port?
Jan 26, 2011My environment is RHEL5. For the sake of discussion, I have two systems, each with multiple ethernet ports.
To simplify the discussion, let's say each computer has two ports. One port is the "public" ethernet (eth0) and the other is the "private" (eth4) ethernet.
All the boot activities must occur on the private site, and to a point this works well. DHCP works, the pxelinux.0 file is transferred (seen using wireshark) and the client appears to bootstrap, when the bootstrap restarts the DHCP handshake using the wrong ethernet port (eth0).
The client does NOT get far enough along to read the client's configuration document under pxelinux.cfg.
How do I instruct pxelinux.0 to use eth4 and not eth0 to continue the boot process?

Sep 19, 2010I booted ubuntu and the included drivers worked beautifully for my Atheros AR8131 PCI Ethernet card on my laptop.

I was wondering if, because OSX is loosely linux based, the network drivers could somehow be loaded into my Snow Leopard install.

General :: Remote Control (via Ethernet) A Computer From Boot For Grub Choices?
Sep 1, 2010I have a computer that I use for practically everything. In the same room I have a second computer that I use purely for trialing Linux distributions, It currently has Debian, gNewSense and Kubuntu on it with Grub to choose between. This computer has no keyboard / mouse / monitor, but it has directly wired ethernet to the home network. Is there any way I can set it to be remotely controlled from before / during grub so I can choose from the other computer which to run? I realise I can just crawl behind the desk and unplug the keyboard / mouse / monitor, but I don't particularly want to every time I reboot into a different distro. I also realise that remote access during boot is a security risk so is there a way of allowing only one MAC address to do the controlling?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Net Boot From Debian Server Using Directly Connected Ethernet Cable
Jun 23, 2011I have a computer with grub installed, and nothing else. I'd like to install Debian on it without having to burn a CD. (and I don't have any flash disks.) It has a nice ethernet card, and I have another computer right next to it with an ethernet card. I also have an ethernet cable. However, I don't have any router free which I can mess with for these purposes. As I've looked up, apparently modern Ethernet cards don't need crossover cables, normal cables will work for this type of connection.
I've tried several different "tutorials" on how to set up a netboot server, but
None of them are complete. All of them assume that you understand how DHCP works, and that you can do things like set up a dnsmasq server. I don't understand the DHCP protocol, with submasks and whatnot (I know that it is the protocol for assigning computer network addresses, and that's it), and I don't think I should have to in order to simply connect two computers. All of the tutorials give you incomplete configuration files, and ask you to fill in things which I don't understand, and for me it doesn't make sense to customize these settings, as I just want to connect them and I really don't care what ip address the TFTP server has or whatnot. All of these assume that you are going through a router. I am not. When I try googling for ways to directly connect two linux computers with an ethernet cable, I can't even find instructions, just more references to "you need crossover cables".
So basically, I have two computers directly connected by ethernet cables. Tell me what packages I need to install, what the contents of my configuration files should look like, and what, if any, commands I need to run in order that when I turn on my second computer, and select network boot, it will start up a minimal debian system.
EDIT: Hmmm, it looks like I actually have a linux kernel installed too, but no root filesystem (so no other programs besides busybox).

Ubuntu Networking :: If Plug Into An Ethernet Network After Boot The Network Never Connects
Oct 5, 2010I have a system running a very basic LTS install (10.04). Ubuntu has been setup with very little additional packages. No GUI. Once it's booted to a prompt for the first time I add the following packages,
cups cupsys ssh pi memtester nfs-common
aptitude safe-upgrade
At this time I don't have additional information on exactly what packages are installed. I did not perform the installs myself. I will update this thread when I get more details from my IT counterpart on how the system was setup.
This is used for a headless(no monitor, no keyboard) system running some custom applications.
Here are two problems.
1. If I plug into an ethernet network after I boot, the network never connects. I need to reboot with the network connected in order to get an IP. What is the service to "auto connect" to a network?
2. I have a network printer configured on lpd called myprinter. If I am connected to the network when I boot, I can print to this printer just fine using:
Code:
However, If I boot disconnected from the network and print to myprinter, the jobs obviously cannot print. They get spooled. Using 'lpstat -t' I can see that the spooled print jobs are assigned a job number and that myprinter is trying to connect. I shutdown, reconnect my ethernet network and boot up. All my printer configuration is blown away.
/etc/cups/printers.conf has been wiped out to look like this:
Code:
My 'good' printer configuration is copied to printers.conf.O
To recover from this, I need to stop cups, copy printers.conf.O to printers.conf, restart cups, and re-setup my network printer.
So, What causes my printers to get wiped out? I've repeated this on 4 systems with the same setup.
Ubuntu :: Can't See The Ethernet Router
May 8, 2010I connect to a Linksys Wireless-B router in my home. My connection was working fine last night, but when I booted up my computer this morning, nothing shows up in my list of available connections. I've tried disconnecting the router from its power source for a minute, I've tried rebooting my computer. I booted my computer using an Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit live CD, and I was able to connect just fine, so I know it's not an issue with my mobo's onboard ethernet. But it's still not working when I boot from my hard drive. I'm running 10.04 64-bit. I've had this problem once before in the year-plus since I built this machine, but it resolved itself after I rebooted a couple of times.

May 11, 2010I installed 10.04 today, and I can't get any connection through the LAN. I've tried some stuff on my own, but I've been unsuccessful so far. It's not a hardware or connection issue, as it works perfectly fine in Windows 7. I haven't had this issue in any previous version of Ubuntu (or any Linux distro for that matter).The weirdest part is I booted from the installation CD as as LiveCD, and everything worked perfectly fine. It only stops working after I actually install it. Here's the results of ifconfig:

Oct 17, 2010I have been using Ubuntu for quite a while now (~3 years.) I recently installed 10.10 on an HP Mini 1000. The installation went fine, but now I am puzzling over how to connect to the internet. When I plug an ethernet cable into the netbook, the port light lights up, but the system does absolutely nothing. Under the connections menu on the top panel, it just says disconnected. Also, the wireless connection section states that the device is not ready because firmware is not installed. Most solutions I see for problems of this kind are to download the drivers, but I cannot do that because neither connection works.

Mar 9, 2011i have ubuntu 10.10 64b and for some reason last night the wired network autoeth01 suddenly will not connect to my router. it is a dual boot machine so i booted into windows and it is working fine in that OS.
I then had a look at the status on my laptop running ubuntu 10.10 32b and that was showing the same message "wired network autoeth01 disconnected" i cannot for the life of me figure this out. just before it was disconnected i had been copying 7gigs worth of data using samba from the 32b machine to the 64 bit machine.
i have tried deleting the wired entry and recreating it.
tried different cables
even changed the router
works with all windows machines connected to network

How can I locate the right wireless driver? In the past, I have always been able to simply plug in the ethernet cable and get the necessary updates.
