Ubuntu :: Local Network In Unity 11.04 X64
Sep 1, 2011
I 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?

I'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)

I 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).

I'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?

Yhe only ptoblem was that he had forgotten the password to his network. This was really anoying and has happened before sp yesterday i decided to install some kind of WEP cracking tool so that it would not happen anymore.. After using sometime without getting anything to work i found this tutorial: [URL]
and started following it. i only got to the point where he has updated his computer using update manager and is about to patch his wificard. Then i noticed that the network manager for gnome was gone and the virtualbox logo in my top panel was changed to a red circle with a line running through it. I have tried to download network manager from another computer and installing it on my laptop but it needs internet to install. Then i tried to connect to my local network using terminal that did't work either i also tried connecting using a cable but had no luck connecting. The command iwconfig gives me:

I just installed open Suse 11.3, and I cannot SSH my school. Upon further investigation I could not even ping any machines outside my local area network. Ironically I could nmap machines outside my local area network.

I'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.

I seem to have a little problem with the Network Manager applet - it works vaguely OK, even if it takes a bit long to find my connection, but when I click on the icon, the menu doesn't show.I have also installed the applet through the Ubuntu Software Centre.Just to clarify, the icon appears fine in my panel, and the notifications appear when I am connected, it's just that the menu doesn't appear at all.

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?

I 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?

1. I didn't like the icon theme and changed it to Ubuntu Mono Light. But is there a way to get the Min/Max/Close buttons to how they are in Radiance when maximized, or is that dependant on something else?
2. Is there a way to disable the Unity dock, but not the Unity feature where the Min/Max/Close go into the command bar?

How to make apache 2 accessible only on the local network? I have installed it in the easy way (but not the best, probably):

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server
And now I want to make apache only accessible in my local 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?

I've followed several guides and am trying to get NFS working on my local network. For starters, I think I should be able to NFS mount a drive on the server (192.168.1.65) TO the server. From there I'll work with another client (currently 192.168.1.80)
Code:
$cat /etc/exports
/media 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check)
$cat /etc/hosts.deny
portmap mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : ALL
[Code]...
The guides I've read seem simple, so I must be missing something easy. Can't figure it out, so I'm looking for help after googling for 2 hours.

I am setting up my first server (which will be a file server when complete). I have some experience with a terminal, but not much. I'm not at all afraid of it, and want to learn more (one of the reasons I'm doing this project). At the moment I am trying to get the server to see my network. Using the info I found here: URl... I have been able to ping the router. I cannot, however, reach other computers on the network. Nor can other computers ping the server.I am looking for a newbie guide on how to connect to my local network.

I've been having strange local network behavior with my Ubuntu 10.04 box. First off DNS was pretty flakey, but I replaced the automated DHCP servers with 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4. Now I see very strange behavior in my local network, the symptoms of which are frequent dropped connections trying to use FTP, VNC, or Samba to try and connect to my other machines. I did a tracepath and got this back:
tracepath 192.168.1.136
1: 192.168.1.105 (192.168.1.105) 0.112ms pmtu 1500
1: no reply
2: no reply
3: no reply
3: 192.168.1.105 (192.168.1.105) 3002.961ms !H
Resume: pmtu 1500

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.

As it looks like the number of DNS Top Level Domains are just going to proliferate in the near future, use locally on an RFC 1918 private network in order to prevent a future name collision issue?
.local is the most obvious one but as that was stolen by Apple for mDNS/rendezvous use it's probably wise to avoid it now.

I remember back when I used Windows, there was a shell command call "net view", which would allow me to see all the other users on my wireless net.
Is there any command or application that can do this? I dont mind if it is a terminal command either, but I would really like to know a way that I could see other users on my network.

What I am trying to do is reasonably simple, I have 1 Ubuntu Desktop PC and 2 Ubuntu Laptops that are all connected via wireless network (remote desktop works perfect so no network issues)All I want to do is utilise the huge drive space on the desktop machine as a kind of fileshare for the two laptops so backups and music/photo sync can be done.
I have managed to do this using Samba in that from the laptops I can write files in Nautilus to the fileshare BUT the files have no owner, no group, and no permissions, this is the if I view from the client or server side.
IE I can navigate on the laptop to the shared are by the URL...in Nautilus right click and add a blank document and call it say "test".If I now have a look at the permissions it says "The permissions of test could not be determined"

I'll apologize in advance for I'm sure this has been covered already, but I'm not sure of the search terms to even use to begin solving this problem. I don't know what I don't know.
I have three computers on my home network and want to reach them by their name instead of IP address since their ip is dynamically assigned. I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL router and have noticed that there exists a "DHCP Clients Table" in the router that seems to hold all the necessary information - host names and ip addresses.
How can I get my computers to use that as the lookup table to resolve the host names? And is this even an optimal way of being able to resolve local names?
