I'm trying to set up an openVPN server for a small office. I've gotten the server running, and configured keys, and been able to connect to the server. The trouble is that once I connect with my windows machine to the server, I am unable to bridge through to the www. I have combed through so many settings and tutorials, and I am confused as to how to set up the interfaces configuration file. Here's a sample of my routing table:
Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.8.0.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0
XXX.XXX.XXX.0 * 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0
10.8.0.0 10.8.0.2 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
default XXX.XXX.XXX.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
How should I be configuring this so that when I'm in the VPN I can get through to the internet?

My son has been using 9.10 and when he wanted to play on his XBox live, we just connected a ethernet cable to the Xbox and laptop then clicked on the wireless icon and clicked on wired connection and then he could play on his Xbox. But since upgrading to 10.04 this just will not work. We have tried with the XBox off and on, the wired connection connects but the XBox will not find the connection.

I've been trying to access the internet on my desktop running 10.4 x64 through my laptop running windows XP. The laptop has a wireless connection and I'm trying to use an ethernet cable to bridge the connections. I've hooked them both up, and under Network Connections in XP I selected my wireless connection and the 1394 connection and right-clicked to bridge, and it does. But ubuntu doesn't want to pick it up.

I were to download a demo from [URL] would it save the demo to my laptop and then I could transfer it to my Xbox via Ethernet cable, even though my laptop has Ubuntu on it or does it have to be Windows computer?
I ask, b/c either way it is just a file on my laptop, regardless of the OS.
So, what does the community think?

Here's the story running 10.10 on my box with a wireless N adapter I'm about to go get a XBox with the built in wireless but the problem is that the XBox does not pick up 5ghz. Any way to connect the XBox with a ethernet cable to my motherboard and bridge those connections so the XBox can get network access?

My laptop, which is my main machine, is running Ubuntu 10.10 I am bridging my wireless connection on my laptop to my Dell desktop; but I have somewhat of an issue. I was able to bridge the connection with ease, but the IP the XP machine has been assigned is not in my subnet. The issue is that I need to port forward to this machine, but my router doesn't recognize that the PC is on the network because it has a random IP. I've tried assigning a static IP on the XP machine itself, but it doesn't change...

Took my laptop with me on a trip away and it didnt connect to the internet.
- Its running Ubuntu 10.04.
- It connects to my wireless here at home, but didn't connect properly to the internet in the b'n'b i stayed at.
- I have connected to that wireless before, but using windows, the last time i stayed there and the owners say they haven't had any problems with others using it.
- Although it was a weak signal, even moving the laptop right next to the router didnt help. The signal was stronger but no web pages loading, or any programs relying on an internet connection didnt work properly or at all.
- I took a seperate wireless USB thingy with me, but that wasn't recognised by Linux, its a Belkin USB adaptor, with N strength.
What could cause this? How come my laptop was the odd one out? How come it didnt recognise the Belkin USB adapter?

I have a Dell Studio 1501 Laptop and I want to bridge the wireless with the ethernet port so I can hook my xbox360 to my laptop.
I've spent the last 2 hours trying different techniques but nothing is working.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 so the last thing I tried was going into the network manager, clicking on wired, editing the ethernet port and allowing it to share. This did nothing.
I tried to share the connect with firestarter but that did not work either.

We are running in to a issue where we don't seem to get our bridging to work as we expected. Meaning passing all traffic from Point A to Point B. As explained below:
[Code]...
This is the original connection. Now we are adding our Linux IP impairment box for IP tables in between Application Server A and Router X so the figure would look as below: Application Server A --> IP Impairment box --> Router X --> router Y --> Application Server B
The issue we are having is When a packets are sent from Server A to Server B they are going through for PING, TCP, UDP, but for BGP the connection is established at a TCP level (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK), but the BGP OPEN packet does not get through and our BGP relation ship does not come up between Application Server A and B. Application Server A and B are a routers also but there are applications running on those router. BGP is underlying protocol used for Application Server A to be talking with Application Server B and getting routes for each other.
Even with the iptables empty (all rules default ACCEPT) we still can't seem to get these BGP OPEN's through. We see both sides of the application servers sending BGP OPEN's, but the Linux bridge never passes those packets to the other side of the bridge. Tracking the BGP packets, we see the packets at iptables raw PREROUTING and filter FORWARD tables but the packet doesn't get out the other interface.

you can do secondary interfaces (virtual interfaces?) for your virtual machines (domU's) and not loose your eth0 to the bridge. Is there documentaion on Xen in OpenSUSE without bridging?

Have upgraded HDLC version for 2.4.20 kernel from 1.02 to 1.14. And recompiled the kernel and HDLC driver. Also it requires sethdlc utility for configuring HDLC and driver parameters which was found on the internet where the patch for HDLC was found. Having done that with kernel and driver reloded, when you try to configure HDLC interface for HDLC and physical parameters as follows:
#sethdlc hdlc0 hdlc nrzi no-parity
error is thrown
hdlc0: Unable to set HDLC protocol information: Operation not supported.
Currently the driver doesnt support configuration of physical parameter.
But can you configure the HDLC protocol parameters for the interface having modified the HDLC version in the kernel 2.4.20. Basically the HDLC interface has to be configured and bridged with existing Ethernet interface using Brctl utility.

I have configured bridging based on information from a few web pages Google found. Traffic is being seen (using tcpdump) on both interfaces that are configured. However, the traffic is not going between them. What could be missing?The bridging machine has 3 NICS: eth0, eth1, eth2. eth0 is configured normally with an IP address (I can login via ssh to it just fine). The bridge is named br0 and uses eth1 and eth2 (a dual NIC card for convenience identifying which NICs are the bridge).
A script executes these commands:
Code:
bash-4.1# /etc/rc.d/rc.bridge-up br0 eth1 eth2
EXECUTING brctl addbr br0

I am trying to share my internet access using the following setup.
A Linksys WRT54G v5 router that is connected to my cable modem in my basement. I want the signal to be picked up by my Hawking HWABN1 and sent through a Linksys BEFSR41 to my Ubuntu desktop running 9.04.
I'm pretty sure the Hawking is receiving the signal because when I check the devices in the wireless router setting the IP shows up. I can't seem to get anything whether it is hooked up to the BEFSR41 or straight to the desktop and Ubuntu tells me I'm offline and I'm not getting an IP.
I have a WinXP laptop that I have used to run the Hawking setup and it is supposed to be accessible through a web based interface similar to the routers.

I am confused as to what is going on with a particular box that I am working with.As you can see in the attached ifconfig print out, one eth port is basically only used as a output while the other is only really used as an input.I connect to the box via 10.20.40.104 for ssh,ftp,http,etc.I just want to know the name of what is happening (is it bonding,bridging?) and maybe some information about where it is configured.I looked in modprobe.conf
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:C9:EE:5A:91
inet addr:10.20.40.105 Bcast:10.20.40.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::21e:c9ff:feee:5a91/64 Scope:Link

I have a ubuntu computer set up as bridge between gateway and lan, with the lan connected to eth0 and gateway on eth1.
I'm trying to get it to basically block everything incoming except for the ports i specify, but also allow outgoing traffic. I've found, tried, modified som examples i found on the web, but still it wont block incoming traffic (ie, im still able to reach my webserver)
These are the rules, and i can't figure out why it wont block:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
iptables -F
iptables -X
iptables -I INPUT -i eth1 -j DROP

I have been trying to get my laptop to share its wireless connection to my older, wireless-less, computers through its ethernet port. So far, I have not been able to make it work. As far as I know, what I am trying to do is called network bridging. The method I have been trying so far is to run these commands as root:
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 -promisc
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 wlan0
brctl addif br0 eth0
ifconfig br0 up
Each time I do this, the system running as a bridge loses connection, and the system being bridged to never gets a connection. My hardware is:
Code:
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)

I have been trying for the last few weeks to set up my network but don't see to be getting anywhere. This is what I'd like: I can get Internet on the server but cant work out how to bridge the connection and setup a dhcp server out of eth1. I have installed dhcp3-server and bridge-utils but can't seem to configure them right. The modem uses IP 10.0.0.1 and gateway 10.0.0.138 I'd like to leave the modem settings alone if possible. I don't care what the network IP addresses are but I thought it might be easier to see the difference if they were 192.168.0.0
I am using 10.10 64bit desktop edition for the server/desktop. The laptop has Ubuntu 10.10 and win7 duel boot (Not really worried about getting windows working) HTPC is XBMC Freak on an Asrock ion 330. The desktop is broken at the moment. (ram packed it in) will be running a version of ubuntu at some stage (need funds for more ram). I know there are lots of tutorials out there I just can't find one that explains what I wont to do in easy to understand terms and is up-to-date.

I'm trying to setup a Centos box to act as a backup server for our intranet between stores. I have two interfaces in it, the first one is currently connected to my local network and is using dhcp to get its ip address and such, the second one is set to a static ip address and is connected to an independent network that just has a DigiBoard Portserver hooked to it and no connection to the regular network. What I am doing is using ssh to portforward the telnet port on this box to the main server so when you telnet into the box from the second interface using the portserver you get connected to the main server.
I plan on using this over DSL lines as a backup when our main dervice goes out to allow the portservers at the remote locations to seemlessly connect to the main server by just moving the network cable from the local net to the backup server. My problem is that when I have the everything working I am able to ping the second interface ip address from the normal network even though the secondary card does not in anyway externally connect to the network, this is a problem.
Eventually I want to duplicate the main server address so that the normal portservers and other terminals on the remote site will not have to be reconfigured to access the backup server. All I want is to be able to tell the managers is to switch a cable while the main connection is down and not have to manage a bunch of config files to get the store back up. Right now if I duplicate the main server ip address and it is accessible through the first interface I'm guessing I'll see all kinds of problems relating to duplicate ip addresses on the network. I've tried some routing and iptable stuff but I'm not real familiar with either so I had no luck. Is there someway to block the internal connection between the two interfaces so the only thing that sees the duplicate ip address is the second interface?

Ive got my laptop hindered up to my xbox 360 it has windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. i realy want to get rid of windows and the only reason i keep it around is because ics sharing works realy well for connecting to xbox live.
I recently discovered that you can (ics) with ubuntu which is awesome only problem is
i cant figure out how to set it up to stop it having moderate NAT so i can play games that require an open NAT. its probably due to the ports not being fowarded properly or somthing and/or the face that my xbox needs a static ip placed out side the routers firewall on the DMZ setting .

I'm currently using Ubuntu 9.1, and a motherboard which has two Ethernet ports on it.
What I would like to do is bridge these ports, so I can plug in another Ethernet cable and run it to an unmanaged switch in my room (handy for my work laptop when on-call and building other PCs, etc).
I.e. Router --> 8-Port Switch --> My PC.
Eth 0 --> 192.168.1.100 static
Eth 1 --> 5-Port Switch --> DHCP
I believe this is the config to make the ports bridged:
ifconfig Eth0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig Eth1 0.0.0.0
brctl addbr Bridge0
brctl addif Bridge0 Eth0
brctl addif Bridge0 Eth1
ifconfig Bridge0 up
- How do I save this so upon reboot it sticks?
- How do I force Eth0 to remain as a static IP of 192.168.1.100?

I'm trying to get KVM static IP bridging to work on my Fedora 10 install. I've looked at the related posts on this subject and tried some of the suggestions without full success. I've used the virt-manager to create 2 Windows XP guests on the host (all on the same machine).I need to use static IP addressing on the 2 guests as well as the host.I need the guest VMs and host to be able to see each other as well as connect to the outside world. Using the script below I found in an earlier post, I get network connectivity with the 2 guest VMs but the host can't get out at all.

does Network Manager in Fedora 15 support bridging and if so, can you configure the bridge using your wireless interface? All of the information I've come across so far said that you can NOT create a bridge using a wireless interface, and that Network Manager doesn't support bridging, but this info was also from Fedora 12 and below, so I don't know if it's still relevant for Fedora 15. I would certainly hope that by now you can make a bridge from a wireless interface. Even the lowly VMware Player offers this option.

My roommate has a slow ADSL provider, and i have a much faster cable connection. He has his own residential gateway, and as do i. The goal i am trying to accomplish is to share 2 printers (1 behind each residential gateway) and also files between computers on the different LAN segments, but not share ISPs or DHCP servers.
Thus far, i have configured my residential gateway's DHCP server to have control of the 192.168.1.0/24 network and his gateway's DHCP server controls the 192.168.0.0/24 network. We've got a Slackware 13.0 Linux box connected on the 192.168.0.0/24 network which currently just serves a web page and accepts e-mail for a domain. My knowledge of networking fails me here as I'm not sure what piece of equipment i would need to buy to solve this puzzle (bridge or router). I know iproute2 can do wonderful things on Linux, and i figure it would be easier to just shove a NIC or 2 in the Linux box and make it do what i need instead of buying more networking equipment.

Alright, I'm running Ubuntu KK 9.10 and I've probably read every ICS tutorial on ubuntuforums. I'm running wireless internet via a Linksys router and have a LAN card in my system as well.
(lshw -c network)
Code:
I tried the easy route with 9.10 (setting my wireless to DHCP and LAN to share connection) and although Ubuntu recognizes the Xbox when its turned on (I get a nice notification saying my wired connection is active) the Xbox gets no internet, and doesn't even recognize the connection. (when I tested the connection it failed before it even hit network...)

I want to play my videos on my xbox off of my pc [ubuntu10.10]. I have Ushare configured as follows:
USHARE_NAME=tom-ubuntu
USHARE_IFACE=xbox (I created a new wired connection in the network manager (IPV4 set to shared to other computers and that's what I named it).
USHARE_PORT=49200 (not sure if that's correct or how I'd go about finding the port)
USHARE_TELNET_PORT=
USHARE_DIR=/home/slayton/Videos/
USHARE_OVERRIDE_ICONV_ERR=
ENABLE_WEB=yes
ENABLE_TELNET=no
ENABLE_XBOX=yes
ENABLE_DLNA=no
On my xbox I go to test PC connection. It connects to the network but not the PC and goes to PC Not Listed.
