View 3 RepliesI can connect & share my dual-boot PC with no problems under WinXPPro using wired or wireless. (I've another thread going trying to get the wireless-n usb adapter to work.) Two questions so I can get the wired shares to work. I want to copy beaucoup files from the Win7 PC to the dual-boot PC. When booting into XP, no problems. When booting into Ubuntu 10.04, nothing. I can see the Win7 PC but can't access it. My two questions then are these. First, is there some switch to enable fire & drive sharing under Lynx as there is under WinXP / 7? (Samba??) Second, how does one set the IPv4 address? Under WinXP it's one address and under Lynx it's another.

1) a post on this forum suggests that local users can access the FTP server if the correct line is enabled in vsftpd.conf - I have done this and the fact that I can access it shows this is working I would think, however users added subsequently with the useradd command cannot access the server. Filezilla shows a could not connect to server error.
2) how do I give the server a fixed IPv4 address? It is currently using DHCP
3) I need to be able to put files into users folders for them to access offsite, but I don't want them to see each others filesfolders, can I do this?
I just installed Fedora core 11 and am trying to get httpd to start, but it gives me a [failed] message. When I run it with -e DEBUG, I get an error message like: "failure in name resolution, unable to find IPv4 address of 'uaserver'" In the httpd.conf I have my hostName set to localhost.

I'm used to have Apache unable to find pc's FQDN, as I don't set it, and it works without it.
From /var/log/apache2/error.log

Computer has IPv4 address set. I suspect that the nature of the problem is in the fact, that alpha has two network interfaces (it is used as router also). I've checked Apache conf files, but didn't find any meaningful directives to set interface or something similar.
I have to change my MAC address in order to get an IP lease via DHCP. But almost no installer CDs have ifconfig and dhclient.
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:22:15:C0:27:23
ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient eth0
Is there any way to change a MAC address within Debian or Ubuntu installer CDs?
I'm trying to grok a problem I'm having with an embedded machine. I'm pretty sure I can track down the larger problem, but I came across a usage of ifconfig that I don't understand, and I'm pretty sure this is the command that is failing.
The command is: ifconfig eth0 192.168.78.20:9134
I understand how ifconfig works. What I don't understand is the :9134. I can't see anything in the docs about what this means. I know in most contexts it's a port number, but what does it do when bringing up a network interface? Does it limit it to only using port 9134?
I am trying to find IP address. In a socket programming tutorial, I found :
Code:
$ nslookup localhost
command. It gives me a address. However, one colleague told me :
Code:
$ ifconfig
It also returns me inet_addr. But both are different. Kindly tell me the correct method to find IP address? I have also checked the /etc/hosts file but it says "localhost"
This should be simple, but the machines we ssh into don't seem to have the regular commands.Are there any other simple ways I can use to get my IP?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to create several aliases to eth0, but have the addresses assigned by DHCP instead of being set to static IP's. Is this even possible? All the examples I've seen assign a static IP using the command:
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.11 up
I'm forging a gateway server, We have 2 Internet connection that goes to a load balancer router, and goes to my centos server and from our server goes to a switch for Internet distribution or routing.

Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding but i already changed it to 1 at sysctl.conf One of the online forum says i need to configure the named.conf deleted some and run it(named.conf) and successful but still when I run network service I still get the :"Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0" The network is getting the IP range but it doesnt get any Internet connection.
it was working but after i installed updates and rebooted it could not get a ip address seems like strange timing it still registers under ifconfig it is not even working on the live usb anyway i can test to be sure it is the chip?
View 3 Replies View Relatedwhere are the interface configurations (set by ifconfig, not the static ones) stored? I'm asking because I'm trying to understand, more broadly, the order of IP address lookup. If I ping the local machine (localhost, or one of the interfaces) no messages get sent out (at least according to wireshark), so some local lookup must be taking place.

I'm looking for a way to get my IP address using the command prompt in Linux. I know when you type "ifconfig" you can get your local IP address (i.e. 192.168.0.103), but I'm looking for my IP address that I get from my ISP. How can I get this from Linux without having to visit some website?
