I recently purchased a wireless USB dongle. It works great. I am looking to connect multiple computers to that USB dongle. I wanted to know if anyone out there knows if it is possible to link multiple USB cables together like a reverse splitter.
View 7 RepliesThis may sound stupid but I've got to ask. Can I connect multiple computers running Ubuntu & run software from one computer from the other? I know how to connect using SSH & to copy files back & forth but I don't know how or if I can share programs.

I see there are some closed archived posts asking how to install this dongle, but since they don't appear to have been solved, here's a bump to see if I can resurrect the topic.

Im a Linux newbie and am running OpenSuse 11.3 (Gnome, 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop Kernel) and Ive an Asus N13 wifi dongle (linux compatible). I currently connect using my laptopś internal wifi but I bought the dongle due to trouble with weak signal. It came with some sort of code that can be "compiled" but I havent got a clue how to do that (and I have been researching this matter for quite some time now). I then came across a post where someone with the same USB stick created and added only two small files to his filesystem and it worked...for him (maybe becasuse he was on a different Distro )
Ralink RT2870 USB Stick and created the two files mentioned in the post (network_drivers.rules and network_drivers.conf) and placed them in ETC... etc, etc! I rebooted the system but NetworkManager only lists it as "device not ready" ... So now back to square one.
[Code]...
I recently bought a D-Link DIR-655 router capable of 802.11n operation, upgrading from a DIR-624 router only capable of 802.11g operation. While my overall setup uses wired connections, other people in the house prefer wireless, and the upgrade was undertaken more for a hoped for increase in wireless range, rather than the possibility of increased speed, since the router is located to accommodate the wired connections. However, to test the 802.11n operation I bought a D-Link DWA-130 USB dongle for my now 5-year old laptop, which comes with an otherwise satisfactory 100Mbs ethernet port(eth1) and an 802.11g wireless card(eth0). By checking the dmesg | grep firmware output after I plugged in the dongle I determined that the necessary firmware was rtl8192sfw.bin, which I found on the web, and downloaded into the directory /lib/RTL8192SU.
A subsequent reboot and then YaST > Network Devices > Network Settings showed the device as wlan0, but not configured. I changed the Network Setup Method to ifup (since I can see no way to do a device configuration in Network Manager), and configured the device, and at the same time deleted the configuration for the existing 802.11g wireless card(eth0). I then rebooted, went back into YaST to confirm the wlan0 device was configured and the 802.11g device (eth0) was not, changed the Network Setup Method back to Network Manager, rebooted again. Making sure that the router was set to only transmit/receive using 802.11n I then typed iwlist scan. To my surprise, the output showed first that the supposedly unconfigured eth0 device seemed to be still active, for it found my home network, and claimed that the protocol used was 802.11g. On the other hand, the newly configured wlan0 device produced the message: "Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down".
First, should I expect iwlist scan to work for a device that shows as unconfigured? And even if it should work, shouldn't it show 802.11n as the protocol, assuming that the router is in fact telling the truth? Is there any independent means to determine if the router is only using 802.11n as it claims? Second, the overall goal is to make the wireless network in the house 802,11n only, and since the dongle is backward compatible with 802.11g, I would expect to permanently unconfigure the eth0 device and use the dongle, both here and on the road. I do not need two wireless connections on my laptopThe laptop is running SuSE 11.2 as of about a month ago.

I got my desktop all set up the way I like it, and it took a lot of tweaking and I can't even remember where I set all of the settings.
Is there a hidden file (or folder) or something like that in my home folder I can copy over to another Ubuntu machine to duplicate it?
I'm looking at settings like theme, colors, menu transparecies, etc.
At the moment I am in the UK using broadband but in a week I will be flying back to India, where I normally connect with a 2G dongle. This comes with its own software that installs when plugged in for the first time and uses an Airtel sim card. Of course this is in Windows so what's going to happen when I go back and try and connect using Ubuntu? I have done a cursory search and note that I should use the Network Connections service, but this relates to 3G, not 2G. Will that make a difference? Is it a suitable replacement for the normal software my dongle installs? I should add that using a Bluetooth phone with the sim card is not practical, I do need to use the dongle.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am setting up my home network. Currently, I have one computer (Munchen) which I have set in my router to receive SSH requests. This works just fine; I can SSH into that box from anywhere. I just put together a new computer, which I want to be a file repository, my ftp server, my http server, etc. What I would like is to be able to SSH into that machine from anywhere, then SSH into the other computers on that network from there.
Here is where I really don't understand the concept of what is going on. I can SSH past the router into one computer just fine either from anywhere (that makes sense to me). I can SSH from my new computer (Chemnitz) into Munchen (which is where the router points to and is running sshd) by using its local IP address, but I can't go from Munchen to Chemnitz (even though the server is running and the firewall should be allowing the connection). [URL]
Details of the system setup are below.
Munchen (receives all port 22 requests now)
Ubuntu 10.04
Chemnitz (I want to receive all port 22 requests and SSH into other computers on the network from it. Ultimately it will be a file sharing box, hosting a webpage, running an ftp server, etc.)
Fedora 14

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a mass reboot script in the event of a power outage (servers go to UPS for some 15 minutes or so and shutdown uncleanly). What I have is a set of 6 common passwords which will be prompted for per ssh connection, is there any way I can cycle through this password list
Code:
#below is an example of how this is constructed, IP's are used instead of hostnames due to the possibility of a DNS server being offline.
SERVERSRM1="1 2 3"
SERVERSRM2="110 120 130"
For i in $SERVERSRM1; do ssh -n root@192.168.0.$i "hostname && shutdown -y -i5 -g0"; done;'
for i in $SERVERSRM2; do ssh -n root@192.168.0.$i "hostname && shutdown -y -i5 -g0"; done;'
Each time the code is executed I'm prompted for a password (it's always one of 6 passwords). It would be quicker to have the passwords be cycled through.
I realise this is basic code at the moment but it will eventually allow for a specific set of computers to be shut down based on what power supply they're using. Authorized keys not really an option given the scale of computers (some 300 or so).
I will cut to the chase. I am running three ubuntu computers on my local network:my desktop which runs ethernet, and two laptops which run wireless on the same network, and all from the same router. For purpose of this thread, I am concentrating on this one issue with pulse(assuming its pulse doing this). When I have two computers running at the same time, or even all three, I can hear bursts of sound coming from the other computer, not all the time, but consistently. I don't know what is causing this. I've searched hi and low in all ubuntu pulse audio forums and those mentioning pulseaudio and I have not seen this issue posted anywhere. Most threads deal with issues of not being able to get pulse to recognise audio from one computer to the other...mine is just the opposite...I'M TRYING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING!...... If I'm listening to my music on my desktop, I don't want to hear what my son is playing on his laptop...and vice versa. all the computers at my home are running lucid lynx, latest updates and latest approved kernel as of the date of this post. 2.6.32-26-generic.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using linux for a while now and I bought a usb wifi dongle (TL-WN727N) and when I first plugged it in it didn't seem to work. So I did the usual lsmod andand blacklisted a few modules. Now network manager was finally beginning to work, it would connect and then after three seconds it would disconnect and reconnect. I then tried wpa_supplicant but it kept giving me (and still does) "wpa_supplicant association request to driver failed" along with some other stuff. On a whim I decided to install wicd and tada, it worked! Now about a week ago I did the usual update that pops up but when I rebooted wicdldn't connect anymore. If I had encryption on my router enabled it would sit there saying ":Verifying" for a while then "Bad Password". If I left my wifi unencrypted it wouldn't get an ip. It connects to my wired router just fine, but it won't connect to my wifi
View 3 Replies View RelatedEver need to provide access to multiple PC's and did not have a router only a hub. Maybe this isn't original thinking, but then again maybe you didn't think of doing it this way (which i am sure there are many ways to do it) So I have 2 Ubuntu Servers, 1 Windows Box and a Hub - All 3 with internet access off of single ip and single Ethernet port.
While searching for a backup method today I came across Clonezilla. I was wondering if this was the right thing for me and since I needed to backup my roommates PC for a reformat and install of Windows I decided I would give it a try, but only if it would work. I didn't want the hassle of going into the main part of the house and finding out what cord was what as there is a cable modem connected into a switch (4 static IP's with internet) and one port of the switch hooked to a router) Anyways, didn't work he was on the router I was on the switch)
But this got me thinking. When I setup my server to do this, during one of the setup scripts it said it was setting up Internet access for client machines and that it was assigning them IP addresses threw a DHCP server that it had installed.
So, I dug up the hub connected the internet cable to hub up link and Server 1 on port 1 Server 2 on port 2 and Windows on port 3 The main server gets the internet provided IP address and routes it to the hub via a virtual interface. Server 2 is configured for DHCP and the windows box, It was set to get info automatically but it didn't fill the DNS info so I had to manually do that (just a heads up) I decided to use OpenDNS Servers (208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220) but im sure putting in the gateway IP address would have worked too.
So, by now if you need this I am sure you are excited and want to get to it. Like i said there are probably other ways of doing it, ways that don't involve you installing clonezilla and DRBL, maybe even just DRBL is needed, maybe one of them installed whats needed as a dependency- all I know is it works, if you know - elaborate so people know, but hey- this way not only do you have internet access on all PC's you can deploy custom images to them as well.

I purchased a SMCWUSBS-N# Wireless USB Dongle recently and have been struggling to get it to work. NM-APPLET simply does not show any Wireless option at all. I have tried all the various posts / suggestions that I could Google and I am still nowhere.
Last night I manually loaded the RT3370sta driver. Now iwconfig does show the card on ra0. However, NM-APPLET still does not show any Wireless option at all.
Surprisingly "iwlist ra0 scan" command at the Terminal does show alll the available Wifi connections.
I have 2 computers, both running Ubuntu 10.10. I purchased a TP-LINK Wireless Adaptor model number: TL-WN321G
On my main computer (Acer Laptop) I plugged the dongle into the usb port and Ubuntu picked it up straight away and connected, so it worked straight from the box.
I bought the dongle for my car PC, running Ubuntu 10.10. I then plugged the dongle into my car PC, but nothing, it was not recognised. Even though Ubuntu came bundled with the correct driver files found in /lib/firmware/zd1211 I manually updated them from the latest driver download, but still nothing.
How can I get my dongle to work ? I'm guessing I have missed something, because the dongle worked straight from the box on my laptop.

Despite the fact that the dongle does not appear at all using lshw -C Network, ndiswrapper -l indicates that the driver is installed and the device is present. I think I found something interesting, though, when I tried this command:

I bought this Wireless N USB dongle Edimaxx EW-7811Un today and it works fine in Windows. But when I plug it into my Ubuntu Netbook, nothing happens?

I am just staring in the world of Linux (I want to stop eating what Microsoft leaves behind). I have this minor problem using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). The OS had detected my CNET Wireless-G USB Dongle (CWD-854). I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT-120N). I see in the top right corner of the OS the wireless icon. When I click on it, it displays the SSID of my wireless. When I click on it, it ask me for my wireless password. It start to try to connect to my wireless router, but it always end up disconnecting.
