Ubuntu Networking :: 7.10 - No IPv4 With Eth0 - Can't Connect To LAN
Apr 19, 2010
Current problem: fresh, clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 on known good hardware does not use/produce/get/have an IPv4 associated with eth0, so cannot connect to my home network for Internet access.
Background: Have been wanting to build and maintain a home file server for some time now. Have also been wanting some hands-on practice to help me progress from Noob to Intermediate, eventually advanced Linux Tech. (I have two decades of tech support experience, but only small fraction of that using command lines and almost zero Linux.)
Anyway, every time I download and attempt to burn a recent distro on my Vista Shuttle, I only end up making drink coasters and mini-frisbees. so I thought that I might have better luck if I used a Linux Workstation to download and burn a server distro.
That's where I an now. I took one of my fully functional WinXP systems offline, replaced the WXP HDD with an old 3.2 GB, dug out my 2008 edition Linux Bible, popped in the DVD that came with it, and installed Ubuntu 7.10.
Everything else seems to have progressed smoothly, but I cannot seem to get the onboard Via chipset ethernet controller to talk to the router. When I run "ifconfig" in Terminal, I see IPv6 info, but nothing for IPv4.
When I try to configure eth0, it doesn't matter whether I set it up for DHCP or static... nothing works.
Is there a command line tht I can use in Terminal to manually configure eth0 to use IPv4?
I have tried clean installs of Knoppix v0.6, Xandros 2.0, and Ubuntu 7.1... same issue with all. I cannot seem to get eth0 (via chip on mobo) to get/have/use IPv4. ifconfig shows only IPv6. (I cannot paste any info because linux desktop is on different box.)
End result is that I cannot get the linux desktop to connect to my lan, either with dhcp or with static ip.
I have a belkin router configured as my gateway 192.168.3.1 and nothing fancy with the setup. I have dhcp open for 192.168.3.245 thru ...254 and at most there are only 4 systems in home connecting with dhcp at any time. all other systems have static addresses.
I have two decades of desktop and lan support under my belt, but relatively small amount of command line experience and almost no history with linux (unless you count a dozen unsuccessful attempts to burn linux distro install discs on this Vista desktop).
Therein lies the start of my prob. I need to build and manage a fileserver for my home, but cannot seem to get a working installer cd or dvd to burn from anything I download.
So I said to myself, "Self," I said, "you're a tech. Build a workstaion, use the DVD that came with your Linux Bible (2008 Ed.) to install one of the linux distros on it, then download a recent, stable server distro and burn it using the linux workstation."
Unfortunately, if I cant get an ipv4 connection to my home network, I cant get out to the Internet to download any newer ISO files.
So what am I missing or doing wrong? How do I tell linux to stop trying to use IPv6 and let me use IPv4?
BTW, eth0 works just fine if I install Windows on that PC, so I know its not bad HW. Could it be a driver issue? Or do I need to use some Terminal command to turn off IPv6 and reconfigure eth0 for IPv4?
I'm working in windows, and that's why I have been able to access the network. In F14, I was able to access the router address while the internet access ain't. Tried restarting network, and still the problem persists. Tried [URL] and the only thing that i've infered is that IPv4 Failed: FATAL plus, the routing table showed 0.0.0.0 as one of the entries (Gateway). So, i've deleted the wired network configuration from the Network Configuration and checked whether the os would pick it up automatically. It still didn't work.
I have a 10.04 box connected to a router with DHCP and wireless. Lathough it can connect through the wifi, I can't get the connection working with the ethernet cable (which is the one I wanna use by default).
Code:
I may add that it's the default auto connection, but I've also tried to create one manually setting the right ip address, gateway, etc, and attributing the same ip on the router to the MAC address of the card. I've also tried to edit manually the interfaces file, with no effect, or no good one at least. This log comes from a moment when nothing has been changed from the original 10.04 installation.
And I have connected a laptop to this very same cable, and the connection worked straight away...
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.
OS-CentOS 5.5 [root@server etc]# uname -srio Linux 2.6.18-194.el5 i386 GNU/Linux
My eth0 and eth1 has the following configuration and IP
[root@server etc]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 # VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III] DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none
[code]....
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.
Upgraded To Ubuntu 10.04 The Other Day. And when I first installed it everything worked great except for my sound card which I fixed. But there was no problem with connecting to my Router via an Ethernet cable. Then I updated the video card drivers, restarted my PC and it wouldn't connect. It would try over around 1-2 mins then tell me its disconnected. No green light activity on the router / network card either.
I've reinstalled fresh copies of Ubuntu a couple of times now, Hoping to get the default settings back. But nothing has worked since.
I looked around the net and found quite a few people had this problem on previous versions of Ubuntu but it would seem most of there fixes were for there Version, so it hasn't helped me.
Heres some info:
ifconfig:
I've tried all the various things from dhclient to ifup/ifdown etc etc.
i was using ubuntu 9.10 till recently when i decided to upgrade to ubuntu lucid 10.04. turns out the internet icon shows connected after fresh installation but when i try to use firefox , after an long wait it shows server not found. i did a research of my own and found that i am not able to ping even my router.using sudo dhclient eth0 doesn't recieve offers , but surprisingly when i tried dhclient eth0 in root shell with networking internet got configured very quickly and i can ping the router and any website.i forgot to mention i have a wired connection which i am trying to connect and the net is working fine with windows 7 on the same PC.
A friend called me today and he explained to me that after his ubuntu install he was unable to connect to a wired Ethernet network. He says it trys to connect using ETH0 and then seemingly fails and disconnects. I have him run a if config and send me a pic. The very odd thing about it is He had a lot 5-8 INET6 address? The laptops is Acer extensa 4420
My machine has Ubuntu 10.4, installed a week ago. I'm connecting to the Internet with a Wireless 3G modem, the interface is named ppp0. Additionally, I have a network card that is connected to a home router, that's eth0. Everything works fine with eth0 disabled, all my apps can access the internet correctly. But, my issue is that when i enable eth0, i can't access the internet with any app.
So why do i need eth0 anyway? The thing is that i must share my internet connection with my sister, who is also connected to our home router. I planned to give her access by installing squid on this machine and configuring her browser to connect to squid. However, since none of my apps can connect to the internet while eth0 is active (whereas squid and all other apps work fine with eth0 disabled) I can't let her connect to squid while squid is working correctly.BTW selecting "use this connection only for resources on its network" under "routes..." of the ipv4 tab of "Auto Ethernet" made it a little better. Firefox and Xchat started to work with eth0 active. Squid still doesn't work though (althought it works just fine with eth0 disabled)
Is there a way to access today the openSUSE servers via IPv4? My ISP does not support ipv6, nor my router, and I can't install software right now in openSUSE, because it wants to access te servers via IPv6.
If would be grat to have the download.opensuse.org ipv4 address.
I really need to install some packages, they are required for my school project.
I have 2 LAN ports. one from the motherboard (on board) and the other from a lan card i bought a few days back. one is use for browsing the net, the other for a media player.
problem is i cant connect to both the eth0 and eth1 at the same time. i have to disconnect one of them to connect to the other. and this really gets irritating as it doesnt always work as flawlessly as it should. what am i doing wrong?
5.10 Breezy configured as machine controller. Works great eth0 is a fixed IP to communicate with controller comms board. Not easy at all to alter - the comms board is hard coded to listen on eth0 for commands.
I can use eth1 as the default gateway and ping google.com, etc. But when I now attempt to communicate with the controller with netcat, e.g.
Code: echo !HH | nc 192.168.1.6 80
I obviously never get an answer since the request is passed via eth1. Using the -g option with netcat doesn't work either. I had a look at iptables but it doesn't seem to be able to do what I want. How I can still use eth0 as my communication port to the controller whilst eth1 is the default gateway?
I have two servers on a vlan at my datacentre/colocation and previously both servers had public IPs on their eth0 interfaces. The servers are HP ProLiant DL360s - one is a G4 and one is a G5 The newer G5 is now the LAMP server and the G4 has been retired and I want to repurpose it as an iSCSI target using openfiler freenas or similar.
My G5 has public/static IPs lashed to the eth0 physical interface and the eth1 is not configured to do anything yet. The G4 will have both interfaces available - perhaps one for ssh access from one of my static public IPs and the other to be a private IP on the local vlan. Here is what I am trying to get my head around...
The G5 eth0 - Public IP - full LAMP services on two or three virtual interfaces eth1 - Private IP 192.168.0.1 The G4 eth0 - Public IP for ssh eth1 - Private IP 192.168.0.2
Because my traffic between eth1 on these boxes is via private IPs on the local private vlan it doesn't add to my quota for bandwidth. How do I go about configuring the routing and gateways and other aspects of this so that I can run a private IP space network between the eth1s and still serve the outside world from the eth0s...
I am afraid that if I assign the private IPs to the eth1 interfaces the routing may either not work or interfere with the access to the production internet facing interfaces (eth0s).
I'm running a dual boot Ubuntu 10.04/Backtrack 4 (Ubuntu 8.10) system. I can get internet in the BT4 side but not in the Lucid side. In Lucid I can ping my router, and the network manager says I'm good to go, but I can't get to any web sites. It all started when I tried to put my laptop on another network by mimicking the settings of a computer I had just unplugged from the network. MAC address and all.
ifconfig eth0:
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1f:16:ba:4c:8c inet addr:10.136.9.147 Bcast:10.136.9.159 Mask:255.255.255.240 inet6 addr: fe80::21f:16ff:feba:4c8c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Our router is pretty old and only capable of giving fixed ip and there is no support for IPv6. Via the gnome networkmanager I try to set a manual IP to 192.168.1.123 and a netmask to 255.255.255.0 and a default gw at 192.168.1.1 . However, this does not work.
If I open a terminal and type:
Code: sudo ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.1.123 sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 Then I get a perfectly valid connection to the internet. ifconfig by it self returns:
[Code]....
ffor me it seems that the gnome network manager doesn't save the information that I gently ask it to.
I can fix it with the CLI commands, but I would like to know whats going on.
On my 10.04 LTS Ubuntu Server installation, apache2 doesn't bind to ipv4. It does bind to ipv6. I didn't notice this at first, because from my home connection I could visit the webpages without trouble. I noticed it running netstats -ta:
Normally I use 'netstat -an' to determine if a daemon is listening on a specific port. The excerpt of this command below doesn't list things like vnc (5900) on ipv4. It does however show it on ipv6. My issue is I want to know how to determine if it is indeed listening on ipv4 as would normally be seen with 0.0.0.0:5900. It would appear that all ipv4 ports are internally being redirected to ipv6. Of course this does simplify things, but it also leaves me unable to reliably determine the ipv4 listening status. How I can tell at a glance if a specific ipv4 port is being listened on? Is there a way to force netstat to list the ipv4 listens specifically? Code: art@eee1:/proc/sys/net/ipv6$ netstat -an Active Internet connections (servers and established) .....
Linux has duplicate address detection mechanism for IPv6 and nothing for IPv4 in kernel. At boot time, initscripts take care to check for the duplicate address but when an IP address is assigned using ifconfig or ip utility, no error is generated.
I am new to UBUNTU. I installed the latest one alongside windows 7. I am having problem with the internet connectivity. I configured the static ip settings right I guess. Edited the Auto eth1 and assigned ipv4 settings manually and entered everything correctly.

Do I have to put MAC Address as well? Which is addressed as 'Network address' in Windows where I put this MAC. I have on board Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20) Network adapter. Do I have to install the driver?
Fedora 12 running under VirtualBox 3.2.8 w/ Bridged networking Host OS Windows 7
I have 3 IP addresses set up in on my Fedora 12 installation: Directory: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ifcfg-eth0 -> 192.168.0.170 ifcfg-eth0:0 -> 192.168.0.171 ifcfg-eth0:1 -> 192.168.0.172
Hostname is configured to host associated with 192.168.0.170 in /etc/hosts
When I reboot and execute # ifconfig
eth0 is associated with the 172 address and the other addresses are not active. After I run # service network restart
All of the addresses are active and associated with the correct interfaces. Content of my ifcfg files below:
i install kernel rpm after i boot that kernel network not working kernel name : kernel-rt-trace-2.6.24.7-132.el5.centos.i686 [URL] error "Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring."
I try to generate a server client code. What i try to do is sending video streams from eth0 and eth1 to the other server programs' eth0 and eth1. In order to do that, i decided to use SO_BINDTODEVICE. But the code is not working. Am i misunderstood the usage of SO_BINDTODEVICE.

I tried for two days to install ubuntu server to my computer from a cd. Whenever I tried burning to a CD-RW (using two programs at highest and lowest speeds), my cd always said it had corrupt files. So I setup a virtualbox harddisk that was setup tonuse my slave harddisk and installed ubuntu server in virtualbox successfully. Now when I boot my server, it won't connect to my network. Long story short, I have taken lo out of my interfaces and tried resetting my dhcp ip address by releasing and renewing it using dhclient. I have realized that eth0 doesn't exist (it shows up in windows). I think that all I need to do is add eth0 to ubuntu...
I have 2 LAN ports. one from the motherboard (on board) and the other from a lan card i bought a few days back. one is use for browsing the net, the other for a media player. problem is i cant connect to both the eth0 and eth1 at the same time. i have to disconnect one of them to connect to the other. and this really gets irritating as it doesnt always work as flawlessly as it should. what am i doing wrong?
I'm having trouble getting my Ubuntu 10.04 machine (Sony Vaio VGN-SR490) to connect to the Internet by way of an Ethernet cable connected directly to my router.
I'm able to connect to the Internet using this same cable using a Windows machine, so there's something wrong with the way Linux is configured.
How do I got about figuring out what the problem is and solving it?
Here are my network settings on Linux:
$ ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
[Code].....
It looks like the network adapters list is empty. I will now install both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux dual-boot. I'm still not able to access the internet, even through Windows. I'm wonder if this could be a hardware problem with the computer or a problem with the router itself. Other computers can connect to this same router, and work fine. (That's how I'm posting this after all!)
I'm using CENTOS 5.5 and I want to connect to internet using 2 pppoe accounts same ISP and i have a sigle NIC eth0.I used adsl-setup to create pppoe connections, 1 is ppp0 and second is ppp1. When i use /sbin/ifup ppp0 it works, i can use the internet, but when i try to use /sbin/ifup ppp1 while ppp0 is connected, nothing happens, i did ifconfig and there is only ppp0 showing.I'm a BIG NEWBIE of linux, i need to know step by step how to make this work, i heard something about a virtual network... but nothing clear.
