When I was running Ubuntu hardy my local network would stay up for as long as I kept the desktop machine running. Admittedly that was a different computer although it had the same wireless card.Now under Karmic at some undetermined time the network disappears. Unless I reboot the problem persists. After the reboot the network works fine until it does not.

I've spent AGES getting ndiswrapper to work on FC11 with my USR 5416 card.
Now it's finally working and Networkmanager can see my local wireless network. Problem is when I try to connect and it asks for the wep key, the encryption I'm using is not an option.
My network uses a 64 bit ASCII passphrase. My options when connecting are:
None of these seem to be right for my network and, consequently, none of them work.
I have a wireless cable modem/router and a PCI-E 1x wireless card in my desktop PC. It works perfectly until I connect my Ethernet cable to my local router and printer, no more internet connection. I am guessing there is a setting somewhere that tells the networking software that the hard wire connection is the primary internet gateway. How do I tell it to use the wireless as the primary gateway?

1. network manager keeps disappearing from notification area, I would have to run the following command to have it show up again nm-applet every-time I log to the system.
2. Audio goes a way all the sudden, I have to log out and log back in to fix this issue.
I installed openSuSE 11.2 onto an HP Pavillion dv5-1040 (openSuSE as only operating system), first from net and then from CD. Initial installation took place around 20 December, and is still going on (!). After much back and forth (installing Atheros 928x drivers etc etc), I was able to get the wireless network up and running (perfectly).
The PC was set up such that I would be logged directly in at boot. For security reasons, I wanted to have a login with username and password, and I was able to get that going (unfortunately). The side-effect was that I am no longer able to access the network! I have been extensively searching the net find a solution, but without success. I strongly suspect that the solution is to set one or more parameters in a script, but what parameters in what script?
So I have Suse 11.2 installed to dual boot on a Macbook Pro. Everything is finally working right after a lot of re-installs to get it too where the Suse installation wasn't disappearing after reboot, everything except for the wireless. Suse is seeing my connection and to my knowledge, I have all encryption and SSID entered correctly, but I cannot get a connection.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'd like a way to see all of the devices on my local network and what their local IP address is. I recall that I used wireshark to troubleshoot a similar problem a while back, but it doesn't seem to have a way to see all of the devices- only the traffic. (I'd like to do this without having to physically interface with my router if possible, and I am in an encrypted network if that matters)
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have installed a web server on my local network. Everything is well configured and web pages are shown correctly from Internet (outside the local network) using the domain or the public IP.The issue is if I try to see that web pages (using the domain or the public IP) from inside the local network. In that case the router config page (192.168.1.1) is shown instead of the web pages.From inside the local network I'm only able to see the web pages using the internal IP address (192.168.1.XX).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got an Ubuntu server hosting our websites and other various things here in our own home. We recently switched to a router that doesn't support loopback (abomination), so I've set up hosts files on our computers so we can access our own sites when on our home LAN.
However, we often take our laptops as we travel about, and I'm guessing due to the hosts files when we try to access our sites, it'll look on whatever local network we're connected to for our server, which won't work, obviously.
Is there a way to set up something like a hosts file that'll only try to look up the local IP of the server when we're on a specific network (our home one), or have one that tries to look for the local IP first, then proceeds to try and resolve the domain name and use the external IP if the local IP doesn't work?
For some reason, ubuntu cannot find local wireless networks. In fact, the Broadcom wireless card Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n seems to be incompatible with ubuntu. I've tried numerous 'solutions' on the Internet, but none of them seem to work on my computer. Tutorials I've visited have recommended downloading the b43 drivers from the Synaptic package manager and also the bcmwl-kernal-source package. Nevertheless, the wireless never turns on and Additional Drivers never shows anything at all. After several exasperating hours of trying to get my wireless running I've decided to turn to the forum for help. I'm sure there's probably more information I should supply, but I'm honestly not sure what that would be.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Xubuntu 11.04. A popup that reads "Network Disconnected - You are now Offline" appears every time I disconnect from a wifi network. disconnected.png This is normal and OK. Every time I suspend my computer, it disconnects from the network. This is normal and OK. When the computer wakes up, it displays the popup. This is annoying. This popup does not just fade out like all the other ones, I have to manually close it. This is very annoying. The very first time the popup appeared, after installing Xubuntu, the popup had 3 buttons that all read "Don't show this popup again," I clicked all of them, hoping that one would work. apparently they didn't. How do I get that popup to not show up after going to sleep, but still appear under other conditions. If that isn't possible, how can I make it automatically fade away/disappear?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system with two network interfaces (both Ethernet). I wish to setup this system such that it is simultaneously connected to my local and an OpenVPN network and able direct traffic between the connections depending on what program is sending the traffic. The problem: Under my current OpenVPN configuration all network traffic is directed to the VPN.
My OpenVPN config file (some details omitted)
--remote [gateway ip] # vpn12 load:
--remote [gateway ip] # vpn11 load:
--remote [gateway ip] # vpn15 load:
--remote [gateway ip] # vpn16 load:
[code]....
In practice, I would like OpenVPN to operate out of one of my two network interfaces and leave the other interface connected to the local network. Then by default all network traffic should be directed to my local network unless I specify (on a per program bases) that certain traffic should go though the VPN. These two network connections can (should) stay completely independent of each other and do not need to talk to each other.
I have a mac and an openSUSE box connected wirelessly to a router. From my mac, if I ping the Linux machine by both ip address and hostname "elmo.local", I get a response. If I ping my mac from the Linux machine using its ip address, I get a response. However, if I ping the mac from the Linux box using its name "kermit.local" - nothing!
This means in order to share files between them via the network, I have to use the ip address rather than name, but I'd rather not. When I had Ubuntu installed instead of openSUSE this all worked fine out of the box, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the setup of openSUSE rather than the router or the mac.
I have two networks. One of them is wired, the other is wireless. The wired has an internet connection and a few other computers connected to it. The wireless network has a few hosts connected to it too, but it has no internet connection. What I've been trying, fruitlessly, to do, is make all connections that are bound to the internet, or my wired network, be routed that way, and all the connections to the hosts of the wireless network go that way.
Here's the setup..
Wired:
192.168.1.0/24 Gateway = 192.168.1.1
Route internet through here
Wireless
192.168.2.0/24 Gateway = 192.168.2.1
If my computer sends a packet to the internet, it should be routed through 192.168.1.1 If I send a packet to one of the local hosts of the wireless network, it should be routed through 192.168.2.1. Here's the routing table I've set up(This is one of many configurations I've tried)
Code:
$ ip route show
192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 scope link
192.168.2.0/24 via 192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 src 192.168.2.4
[code]....
With this, and everything else, I get destination host unreachable when pinging. The strange thing is that, if I unplug my eth cable, reboot and connect to the wireless network, everything is fine and I can access the router and the others. I'm trying to improve my networking skills, as I've had this of setting up a small linux box as a router for quite some time, for the fun of it, but I need to get routing under control before I go ruin my network.
Running Ubuntu 9.10. In the Remote Desktop config dialog I get: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 127.0.0.1 or tabatha.local." I understand this means only the loopback ip address is available. All my other machines show their true local ip address (e.g., 192.168.1.104) in this dialog. Thus I cannot log on to this desktop from other machines.
When I try to do a remote logon from another Ubuntu 9.10 box (or from an XP box using a VNC viewer), I get: "Connection to 192.168.1.102 has been closed." What steps are needed to make this machine show its actual ip address? All file sharing between the various machines is working properly and all windows shares back and forth between XP and 'nix, and among the the vaious XP boxes and linux boxes are available as designed.
Ubunu 9.1 and I would like to set up my machine so that when i type a domain name into another browser on my local network, I will get the apache server. I currently access the pages i have on the ubuntu server by typing the ip address into another machine on the network, I would like to type in a DNS type of name instead.
Ultimately, I would like to access this machine from outside of my network over the Internet, and would appreciate insight on how to do this, too.
I have a simple question: Presume I have two (or more) computers set up with Ubuntu One. I copy the exact same file manually into my Ubuntu One folder on two computers, will the U1 service realise this and not download it again? For example, I want to copy to the cloud a large file so that I can share it with others. It will upload to the server from the computer I first copy it to. Then on the second computer I copy it to the Ubuntu One folder as well, because I don't want to download it since I already have it. Will the U1 service on the second computer see the local file and skip the download?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to VNC into Ubuntu via a local network and not sure if i am doing this correctly and securely.
Currently i have TightVNC viewer and Putty installed on my Windows machine. i use Putty to log into Ubuntu and start VNC server (i think its X11). I then start VNC viewer on the windows machine and log into Ubuntu as normal, however this is really slow and it takes a long time to refresh.
My local network is connected to the internet so i want to be sure that this is all secure even thought my router has a firewall.
If i want to use SSH to log on to my home computer, which is connected to the router, how do I go about connecting to it?If I get my external IP of the computer at home, it will show me the external IP of the router correct? Then I need to forward the router's external IP to my computer at home. But then, how do I connect using ssh? or do I need to consider my local IP of the computer at the router's network?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to connect to the local network at my fraternity house to access a file server and printer both shared by Windows computers. I have mainly been using Smb4k to access network resources and reading up on Samba. I was able to access a shared printer and shared folders at my home where our router acts as the dhcp server, but the way the internet is set up at my fraternity we do not have control of the dhcp server. When I try to scan for network resources nothing comes up. I have tried scanning by using the option to automatically find workgroups, the option to query the current master browser, and the one to scan all ips in with the same first 3 fields, but in all cases nothing shows up from the scan. How can I find shares on this network?

up until about four days ago connecting to the local LAN was as simple as booting Ubuntu, and letting nm-applet automatically connect on Auto Eth0 But the other day it just randomly stopped working, with no cause that I can think of. I can still connect to the internet (This is via a PPPOE connection, running through the same wired interface) so it can't be a hardware problem with the ethernet port/cables themselves. nm-applet just stays spinning in circles, and nothing ever happens. I tried deleting the auto Eth0 entry, and creating another LAN entry with exactly the same settings, but I still get the same problems. way to completely restore nm-applet settings? Or some other way to give me access to the local network?
