Ubuntu Networking :: Cannot Connect To Android Hotspot
May 14, 2011
I have the weirdest problem on the newly (freshly) installed Natty on my Acer Aspire 5741G: Wifi connectivity is good out-of-the-box and can connect (at least with my office's network) but cannot connect with my phone's (HTC Legend with Froyo) configured as a portable hotspot.
The network can be detected, but fails to connect. I have tried with WPA, without any security.... it all does not work.Previously Lucid 10.4 connected flawlessly out-of-the-box on the same machine.Other devices detect and connect to the phone without problems.

I often connects my laptop (Asus EEE) to my HTC desire hd with the wifi hotspot. But this doesn't work since yesterday when I upgraded to 11.04. When I connect the laptop to the phone the screen on the laptop goes black with a lot of scrolling text then it freezes.
This worked out of the box without any problems with 10.10.

I'm having the issue that I cannot conenct to the wlan of my Motorola Milestone/Droid with Android 2.2 and the 3G Hotspot service started. When I want to connect, I have to type the WPA2 passhrase in, I do that correctly and then the system tries to conenct. This failed and then I have to type the passphrase again.It's a Samsung N130 Netbook with Ubuntu 11.04 installed.

I am attempting to connect to an unsecured wireless network; I helped set it up for my local club with a local ISP. Once things were up and running I took my wife's laptop running Ubuntu 8.04.3 and Wicd. Can see the unsecured network no problem, good signal, hit connect, whirs away for awhile, then: 'Unable to obtain IP address.' Strange. I am about to give up and report back to the ISP when I think I might try one of the old Windows boxes in the computer room. Spots the network, hit connect, online, no problem.
So Windows connects fine, Ubuntu box can't get an IP though no doubt the router is trying to serve it one.

I'm trying to get my android 2.3 phone to connect to my vpn server and I followed this guide [URL]... but it isn't working. I've tried compiling both xl2tpd and openswan myself but it resulted with the same error I can connect to my vpn from windows 7 but when I try to connect with my phone I get this in the log file (jumped to the interesting part & highlighted the line that's bothering me most)
Code:
May 19 19:06:44 ubuntu pppd[12718]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp
May 19 19:06:44 ubuntu pppd[12718]: local IP address 192.168.0.196

May 19 19:06:44 ubuntu pppd[12718]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up started (pid 12721)

I have just bought a HTC Desire Z mobile phone, running Android 2.2.
It has a feature to allow, via the USB cable, use of the Internet connection on a PC so that the phone can connect via that, rather than use the 3G or wi fi when those are not available or not wanting to use them. I want to download lots of applications without draining my 3G data allowance.
I have searched via Google, and some people have said that it just worked for them. They plugged in the phone to their Ubuntu PC and they could use the Internet on the phone.
But I cannot get it to work. I am new to Android, and still figuring out the phone. In the Settings/Wireless & Networks, there is an option for Internet Pass-through, which is trying to connect but never does. Then it comes up with a message saying:
"Unable to connect to PC" and asks me to install HTC Sync software (which is Windows only).
Is there something I need to install in Ubuntu to get it to work?

I am trying to connect to a paid for hotspot service. There is no encryption for the wifi.
In Windows you connect to the hotspot, and then any webpage that you attempt to connect to results in you being redirected to their login page.
Once you have put a username and password into their page, the internet works. I know the hostname and IP address of the login page so actually I can go straight there if necessary.
With Debian I have tried Network Manager, WICD and command line iwconfig and dhclient.
With Network Manager or WICD the connection just will not start. It seems to connect to the hotspot then immediately fall off before you can go to the login page.
With iwconfig and dhclient I get mode Managed not-associated. Sometime dhclient seems to return an IP address sometimes not. I'm not sure if it's because it already has an address in it's lease lifetime.
I think that dhclients sends a ping once the connection is up to verify the link? But this will not work until the page is logged into.
Windows "just works" even warning you that you need a login page and then loading it. How I can use this wifi service with Linux?

I occasionally stay at hotels where I get free wired internet but not wifi, I'd like to use my laptop as an access point so that I can have internet on my Ipod Touch. I know it's possible because after trying unsuccessfully in Ubuntu 9.04 a few times I decided to try it with windows vista and it took me a matter of seconds and both the laptop and ipod touch were surfing the internet. I'd prefer not to boot into windows just for this.
In ubuntu when I create a new wireless network, network manager shows that I'm connected to both the autoeth0 and the wireless network I created but neither computer has internet access.

Recently I got an Acer Iconia Tab A500, the Android "Honeycomb" version, and have been consistently unsuccessful with F15 recognizing the device using the microUSB port. That same method allows a Windows-powered PC to "see" the device as an external drive, but Fedora only realizes there is "something attached" (likewise, the Tablet recognizes it is plugged to something).
Is there any method to make Fedora 15 use the Acer Iconia Tab as an external drive? Is this problem Android or Iconia specific?

I've got an Ubuntu box set up as a router and wifi hotspot. I can access the internet and any website using this box. I can connect a laptop to my wifi access point, and connect to both the router box and the internet. I'm writing this message from it. If I access either hsbc Hong Kong internet banking or speedtest.net from my laptop I can't connect. Every other site I've tried is fine. What could be causing this? I don't know where to start. I've set up the firewall rules and routing tables, so I vaguely know what I'm doing... but clearly not enough to debug this issue.

setting up a netbook's wireless access point (to allow remote connection to a network drive connected to the netbook). I know this sounds daft but there is a reason.I just switched workplace and have all my projects on one drive.However my new workplace's network only assigns ip to certain Mac addresses. So I can't just plug in the network drive.My new work desktop is MS loaded, warranty sticker sealed and shared so I can't change this.Well I will, but not in the first week.
The simplest solution I thought of was to bring in my ubuntu netbook connect this to the network drive and wirelessly connect the netbook to the new desktop this via a wireless USB dongle.I connected the netbook to the network drive with no problem using the wired card. I done this by adding
Code:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.4.1
network 192.168.4.0
[code]....
For the wireless bit, on the netbook, I right clicked on the network indicator icon and selected "Create New Wireless network" then entered a network name and WEP passphase.Over to the desktop (XP). I plugged in a wireless dongle, get it load the driver then selected my new network and entered the passphrase. It came up connected and sure enough I check and it got assigned a sensible IP.
All seemed well and I even connected my android phone with no issues. The phone and desktop can ping each other. However for some reason I can't actually ping or ssh to or from the netbook.So whilst it's happily providing the wireless network it can't use it itself.
p.s. Incidentally I am allowed to plug in USB drives so this isn't an access issue or me trying to sneakily circumvent rules. I even told my IT department about the wireless dongle plan.

Sony Vaio X upgraded to 11.04 with 2.6.38-8-generic i686 which improved some features but which introduced a serious WiFi problem: while other WiFi works well, connecting via my Droid hotpsot fails consistently despite reboots of everything and renaming of SSID. Another laptop running 10.04 still works fine with the Droid hotspot. One hint: upon upgrading, there was the warning that the laptop hardware did not support Unity and I always get the classic Gnome display.The Droid hotspot shows up in the list of SSIDs but attempts to connect always fail, even when it is made totally unsecured.
Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter
Qualcom Sony Gobi 2000 Wireless Modem
ifconfig shows no packets with wlan0 or any connectivity.
iwconfig shows correct SSID and other info.

I connected a USB Wireless Dongle (Sapido AU-4512S) on my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. I wanted to share my wired internet connection from my pc to my friend's laptop.
So, I did the following:
1. Installed ndiswrapper-utils, ndiswrapper-common and ndisgtk in Synaptic Package Manager.
2. Installed Windows 7 64bit driver of my USB Dongle through Wireless Network Drivers(ndisgtk)
3. Now it says, net8192su -- Hardware present: Yes
4. Created a Ad-hoc connection clicking on Network Manager > create new wireless network..
5. Edited the Name, set Security to WEP 128-bit Passphrase and entered my desired password.
6. Finally clicked Create but it says "Wireless Connection disconnected"
I'm thinking about maybe the problem is with my dongle so I checked by using the command:
Code:
which gives me information about wlan0
The next thing I did worsen the situation. I unplugged the USB dongle ang plugged it again. This time,
Code:
gives me no result anymore.
Code:
Also, the option that says "create new wireless connection" disappeared in my Network Manager Applet now.
Now I have no problem. To restore the "Create new wireless connection" in my Network Manager Applet and finally create a wifi hotspot using my wired connection from pc.
Code:

My school has (once again) chosen to change their wireless network. This means it has gotten a lot slower, and that only our hotspot works. Our hotspot however is secured so that im unable to enter facebook, and a lot of other websites, etc. So what i did in windows was installing a program called hotspot shield, which redirects you ip through a server, so the LAN Admin basically have no control of what you're doing if he haven't got more skill than the one we have. I think what Hotspot shield does is making a vpn connection (correct me if im wrong) and i would certainly like to do that i ubuntu as well.

researching for a open source billing software to use for a typical hotspot/wi-fi wisp setup. The billing software should be stateful ie being able to keep track of the user time and automatically discount the user when the voucher expires,should be able to create logins based on specfic time ie,user can buy access from 6pm to 5am,etc then also volume based. eg a download volume quota is set and when the user has downloaded based on the set quota,he/she is diconnected. Can all these be acheived with radius server?

I have two computers:
- one is my desktop, running ubuntu. it has two NIC's one is wired (eth0), the other is wireless (wlan0).
- the other is my laptop, running archlinux. two NIC's as well (eth & wlan).
I would like to connect my desktop to my router via eth0 and connect my laptop to my desktop via wlan0, providing internet access to my laptop. i would like both computers to be able to use the internet simultaneously (not all packets would be forwarded).
Any manner of doing this would be ok, but if this is a simple enough task to do it by simply configuring some files (e.g. /etc files) rather than installing some unnecessarily big application, then that would be wonderful!
Also, not really as high a priority but if possible, i would like this to perhaps not be limited to my laptop. connecting any device (a psp or pda for example) to the internet this way (making it a hotspot in a sense) would be super! encrypting the connection (WEP for instance) would be ultra-mega!
Miscellaneous info:my desktop uses dhcp to connect to the router.

I am running K/Ubuntu 9.10 with an HTC Hero (CDMA) running Android 1.6.
I would like to be able to stream media from my PC to my phone. Much like what gMote does but you can play it on your phone and not just navigate.
Also, does anyone know a good way to upgrade my HTC Hero (CDMA) to 2.1?
