Sep 5, 2010
Samsung N150 LaptopI installed WICD. I can see all the wireless networks, and wired works fine, but everytime I try connecting to a wireless network it says, "Unable to get IP"Can someone help me remedy this? I am very new to ubuntu so I have no idea how to do ything..When I go to Network Tools, I see:Network Device: Loopback interface

I have a small cluster (OSCAR, Fedora 8) and I was able to run some application software on it. Then lightning struck very close to the building. Fortunately I had unplugged all the power cables (because the cluster has not yet been moved to where the power lines are protected), but it seems that the institution didn't have any protection on their LAN cables, and so the whole building's public network cards are damaged. A costly lesson.
Anyway, when I tried to run the application software in parallel across the cluster (using the private network which is unscathed) I get the error message given in the subject line. I contacted the application software's help department as I thought I had perhaps forgotten to set something, but according to them it is a normal network problem.
Quote:
Check the /etc/hosts file and make sure that the nodes all have a single definition and you don't have lines like
127.0.0.1 localhost normnode3
and that normnode3 has the same address both on the master and on the node. try ping normnode3 from the master and see what address comes back 64 bytes from 164.190.57.105: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.306 ms or is it 127.0.0.1. Then do the reverse. Also double check that you can ssh between nodes without password but I would expect a different error then. The command "hostname" returns gnlserv01, which is the public NIC.
After the lightning I had trouble getting the nodes to communicate "automatically" with each other, but it can be cured by starting the xinetd service and disabling the firewall on the master node (it's not too dangerous since I don't have a public interface at present and since I'm sitting behind the institution's firewall as well.) Just by the way, I would think that ther should be a file somewhere in which I could specify those two commands to take place when the master node is switched on. Could you perhaps enlighten me as to where and how I could specify it?
I was wondering whether I would need to explicitly start a bind-type service or something like that? (Since I had to explicitly start xinetd) I'm rather clueless really. I googled around and found that there is a named service, so I tried to start it, but I don't think it's installed on the computer. Therefore, since I have managed to run the application software in parallel previously, the named service is probably not the problem. Here is a copy of how my /etc/hosts file looks like:
Code:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
# These entries are managed by SIS, please don't modify them.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Every time I upgrade my system I run a post install script. This script made some harm to the network start that prevents sshd from starting, but I was unable to detect the problem. In my boot.log I found this:
[...]
Starting NetworkManager daemon: [ OK ]
Starting Avahi daemon... Jun 2 14:58:48 Antares kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[code]...
So there is a "bind to port 22 failed" probably caused by "eth0: link is not ready", but after the sshd init script fails the eth0 is ready...

I have got squid 3.0 stable 13 installed on a new centos5 box .I have used it on other centos5 ones and it has worked really well.It didnt give any error messages during installation on this one until i used the proxies in the browser.I have used it on other centos5 ones and it has worked really well.But with this box I am getting this error in browser-The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL:Yahoo!Socket FailureThe system returned: (99) Cannot assign requested addressSquid is unable to create a TCP socket, presumably due to excessive load.

i know exactly what i need to do, im just not familiar enough with command line to do it properly.i have 7 computers.the first 4 are connected to a router via wireless at one end of the house. of the last 3 only 1 will be able to access the router via wireless, so it needs to share it's one wireless connection via ethernet. this computer i'm going to call 'server'server will have two IP'swlan0 192.168.1.6 this connects to the router that has internet access.eth0 i intend to have the following settingsip:192.168.0.1sub: 255.255.0eth0 will connect to a second router, where the cat5 cable goes from the server, into the internet port of the router where i will define the router's static IP:IP: 192.168.0.100sub: 255.255.255.0gateway 192.168.0.1i have then set the router IP for LAN handling as 192.168.27.1 and all ethernet connections will have a 192.168.27.x IP.
so i need to know how to, without a gui application, use the terminal to assign server eth0 a proper IP address, and tell the server to take the connection it has and share it through eth0 to supply internet for the last 2 computers via ethernet.i had it set up in this way with a windows machine being the one that had the wifi access, but i'd rather have it setup for the ubuntu server to do this task. security is imperative for these 3 remaining machines, so just getting 2 more wifi adapters for a connection to the initial router isn't an option.the 2 that connect to server do so through SSH and though server IS connected via wireless it only makes outward connections through

I am trying to manually set up a number of static IPv6 addresses to one of the physical network interfaces on my 8.04server box.
I tried to use the "ip" utility like that:/ip addr add [myIPv6addr] dev eth0 label eth0:0
which was accepted by ip (no errors) and the IP address was correctly assigned to eth0. But using "ip addr show" I do not see any reference to the label I defined and "ip addr show dev eth0 label eth0:0" does not come back with anything (empty output).
This seems to contradict the information I found on the ip manpage and I wonder if this is a bug or a misconfiguration on my side. Did anyone successfully used the label functionality with ip?

Using Ubuntu Server maverick here - after altering /etc/network/interfaces to use a static ip and checking /etc/resolv.conf (no alteration needed) no network services were working at all. Here are the contents of interfaces:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
I was fairly certain that this was verbatim from my previous server which is no longer attached to the network. After hours of fooling around with no success I changed the address to 192.168.1.99 and it worked perfectly. So my question is: why? My old server used 100. Could the router refuse to give a new server the same address or something like that since that address had been taken in the past?

I am a certified newbie into linux. I am using now ubuntu 9.04. Now here is my question. Is it possible to assign your own IP address on your ubuntu desktop, I mean a fixed IP address? Because everytime I start my computer, my internet service provider will automatically assigned a NEW IP address to my computer, but when I'm on windows the ip address is fixed.
I've installed and configured lampp and joomla. I am trying to learn how to use the joomla under ubuntu using only my computer as my local host. But when I restart my computer, the IP Address that is assigned is different to what I used when I installed joomla so I cant access my website even if I am using the same computer when I installed it. Is it possible to assign a fixed IP Address to my computer under ubuntu.

My server has 2 network cards. I have SLES 10 SP2 installed on this server. I had configured Ethernet bonding on this machine using 2 NICs. Now I want to assign 2 different IP's to 2 different NICs. I am able to do this without any issue using yast. ifconfig command shows that eth0 has 192.168.1.10 and eth1 has 192.168.1.12. Rest all networking details are same (netmask, gateway, DNS)
Strange thing: When I unplug only eth0, (eth1 is plugged in correctly) I am not able to ping any IP.
If I unplug only eth1, (eth0 is plugged in) I am able to ping both IP's.

I have connected my computer to network. Computers in network have dynamic ip address which is assigned by ADSL modem's DHCP. Besides this I want to have static IP address for same NIC. So is it possible to have both static and dynamic IP address for single NIC? If so how can I assign it using command and also in GUI?

I have set up a cloud (Ubuntu) environment in my test lad and it's working fine I am confused setting up the public IP in the production environment. The cloud instance will get only a Internal IP address ( Private) we cannot bind the Public Ip to the cloud instance as it uses Elastic IP, so I am confused how can I set up this if I have about 250 Public Ip to 250 cloud instance. How will I map this 250 Public IP with the 250 internal IPs is there any hardware device.

I have an Ubuntu 10.04 server/router with IPv6 internet connectivity (I have an internet routable /64 subnet). Since I have this abundance of IPv6 addresses I wanted to try and assign v6 addresses to specific users on the local system. I've been looking at ip6tables with packet mangling but I don't seem to be able to find out how to do this or if this is even possible.
Current configuration: eth0: Local network, has the /64 IPv6 public range active and the IPv4 LAN range. tun0: 6in4 tunnel with a ISP assigned public v6 address. eth1: Standard IPv4 internet connection.
All users on my system use the v6 address configured on tun0. I want to force them to use the /64 range which is configured on eth0. If I can force users to use a specific v6 address, I'll configure more then one v6 address on this interface based on the users userID on the system.

I am running Linux AS4 Update version. I have one lan card and the primary IP-Address is 192.168.0.215 & subnet is 255.255.255.0
Now I want to assign an alternative IP-Address on the same card & the IP I want to assign is 192.168.15.215.
I run the following command from root user:
Now when I ping this IP 192.168.15.215 From Windows machine then its reply me & properly reply comming from this Ip.
But when I want to access this Ip by \192.168.15.215 from run prompt then it gave me error. The specified network name is no longer available..
I already restart the machine & network service but the problem remains same.

I recently just upgraded from humble Linux user to confused Linux admin of my own virtual Linux server. When I issue the ifconfig command I get following output.
Code:
venet0:0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:1.2.3.4 P-t-P:1.2.3.4 Bcast:1.2.3.4 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
The WAN IP of the interface is not really 1.2.3.4 I just changed that IP for security reasons.What I am trying to figure out, is it possible to assign a private IP address to the same interface or can I only have one IP address per interface. I understand I have a mask of /32 so I am not going to be able to subnet the address to create any more addresses, so I assume I am stuck with the WAN IP (public IP) that I have, and just need to deal with it.
The reason I ask this is because I have been reading through several DNS/BIND tutorials/walk-throughs, and a lot of them specify setting up a intranet access with 192.168.1.1 address for the local DNS server, but since I am connecting to the sever via SSH I figure I do not need a private IP address.

I have two network interfaces in my pc eth0 and wlan0 and a virtual one br0.
router <= eth0 (0.0.0.0) => br0 (192.168.1.10) <= wlan0 (0.0.0.0) => other pc.
On startup of my pc (ubuntu 10.04 server x64), samba bind itself only to loopback network interface, as i can see when i do netstat -an , preventing me to enter in my shares from a remote pc.
Here is my configuration regarding samba network:
Code:
interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1.0/24
bind interfaces only = yes
and my /etc/network/interface
Code:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
code....
Any idea fo speed up my bridge configuration or to force samba to wait unitl the bridge is ready?

I noticed that my internet connection wasn't automatically brought up each time I logged into Fedora so I opened the system-config-network tool and edited my network adapter by checking the box marked "automatically start at boot/login." To my surprise, the connection went down and upon trying to click on the device to let the manager bring up the connection the greyed-out phrase "device not managed" appeared underneath the device name and wouldn't allow me to connect.
Even when I used ifconfig/dhclient to get the connection up nothing happened. I could get the router to assign an IP address through DHCP, pinged a few sites to make sure it was legit, but still couldn't use firefox to browse anything. Seems as if network manager GUI is conflicting with command line attempts to bring the network up. I'd like to permanently disable system-config-network if possible because it's acting screwy!

Since I have a new internetaccount, 2 days ago, I have a problem on my server [Fedora Core 8]. I use it as a router.
eth0 is for the internet.
eth1 is for my LAN.
But since my new internetaccount my server uses eth1 for the internet. This is a line from my syslog:
Code:
NetworkManager: <info> Policy set 'System eth1' (eth1) as default for routing and DNS. I killed the NetworkManager daemon and now it works but this must not be the way to do it? Where do I tell my server that I use eth0 for routing and DNS?

In researching current ldap issue (not being able to do anything but log in) it seems that there are no concepts of privileges, roles, etc. that could be assigned to a user in LDAP.
I've only seen fields that deal with name, organization, etc., not with application-specific access control.
I have to assign certain access privileges to users authenticated via LDAP server based on the privilege level mentoned in the LDAP server. How to attain this.

Does a network install assign a pingable ip during installation? I am trying to verify why I get an error during installation that "stage2.img" cannot be found and I'm guessing that since I can *not* ping the static IP I assigned, that the network functionality is not working during the install process. Can anyone confirm if I should be able to ping a system during installation using the assigned static IP?

The encryption method for my network is WPA2.Could someone tell me how I could connect to a WPA2 secured network via a command line, and/or where I went wrong with what I've been trying?

I have dhcpd3 running but it does not seem to properly use my vlan subnets to assign addresses.
I have eth0.10, eth0.20, eth0.30, eth0.40, eth0 all declared with proper ranges, subnets and gateways.
If request an address in on eth0.30, I would think that it should use the range associated with this subnet (ie eth0.30 is 10.10.30.10/24) and this is setup in dhcpd3, but this is not the case.
It seems to use the first declared subnet instead. If I comment the first subnet out, it uses the second one properly.

I was thinking about setting up my own mail server. Problem is my ISP will not let me have a static IP unless I upgrade to a Business class service which is just too expensive for home use. As a work around I use a DDNS service from Dlink, which is actually done via DYNDNS.com. So essentially I have mydomain.dlinkddns.com point to my Dynamic WAN IP, and it is all automatically managed by my router.
Is there a way I can haveoint to my mail server without it being a subdomain of my DDNS om)? In other words I would like to have the email someone@mymaildomain.com and not have it be dlinkddns.com or something like that. I know someone has done it, I just have never done it. Not quite sure what to google to find the answer myself either.

I have been working on this for a while now and am absolutely stumped. Basically, what i am attempting to do is make my ubuntu box into a gateway for my network. I have everything working thru hard wire, but I simply cant get the wireless to work. No matter what I do, I cannot get my wireless card to transmit an essid and allow nodes to connect. I have tried assigning it in the interfaces file (shown below), and I have also tried manually modifying it using the iwconfig command. Here is the topology:
eth1: internet WAN
eth2: ethernet out to LAN
ra0: wireless out to LAN
Here is a copy of my /etc/network/interfaces file:

First- clean installation of Ubuntu 10.04, with default network manager installed, I had a taskbar icon, and it could see the available wireless networks, could not connect to them, even the ones with no security. Purged all network manager files suggested in various threads here, Installed wicd- it could see all available networks, could connect to unsecured networks, but not to my own secured network. Password was correct in the wicd/configurations file. Removed wicd, and reinstalled network manager from synaptic. I have to network manager applet. When I try to add it to the notification area with alt-f2, applet-nm, I get a brief flash of something in the notification area, but no applet.
System=>Preferences=>network connections shows no wireless connections, but I'm obviously connected to something (probably my neighbors unsecured network) since I"m reaching this webpage. I tried to run sudo wpa_cli from the terminal to see what network the computer is connected to, and it gives me this error:
