Ubuntu Networking :: Computer Address Is Localhost Instead Of 192.168.x.x?
Jul 22, 2011
One of the computers attached to the network is giving localhost instead of 192.168.x.x in Remote Desktop config page therefore I'm unable to access it:
Quote: Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address localhost. Other computer and even other accounts on the same computer are showing something like:
Quote: Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 192.168.0.8. How can I fix this?
Suppose I have computer A with ip address on eth0 of 192.168.0.1 and ip address on eth1 of 192.168.1.1. If I send packets to 192.168.1.1 from computer A, it automatically uses the loopback interface. Is it possible to modify the routing table some how to send these packets out on eth0 instead and have them route around the network and come back on eth1.I've tried 'route add -host 192.168.1.1 dev eth0' but it seems to completely ignore this entry.
i want to find ip address of other computer which are connected in LAN..suppose ther are 5 compter in LAN and i want to find ip of all remaining 4 computer using my computer only in command or any other way is ther....
I have installed XAMPP on my system and started it just fine, but for some reason when I type "http://localhost/myDirectory/index.php" into the address bar of a browser, I get a 404 error. I followed the instructions hereand after creating test.php, I was still not able to view it. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
I have read in a forum that a computer can have the same MAC Address with its router in the sane LAN but how is that possible? Isn't every MAC unique? Also I have not understood, when we send a packet to a PC that is not in our LAN the packet should have the IP Address or the MAC Address of the computer that we want to send?
I need to change my Mac address to be the same as another computer. My university for some reason only allows 2 computers per jack i think! and i have 3. for some reason when i plug my 3rd PC in i lose connection on my other two. i have a win 7 laptop and a Ubuntu laptop. I want to setup a small server since my school blocks all ports off campus i can't use it off campus but i want to use it on campus.
My 3rd PC is a ubuntu Desktop is there a program i can use or a command i can use to spoof the mac address.
there is a way to set an ip address on a computer remotely. Here's my issue : Have a debian computer (plug computer) on which, after upgrade, i m not able to log in back anymore. At the moment it seems i have no chanche to connect something like a monitor but i m pretty sure the computer it boots up cause wireless is on and i can see ssid and mac address of the ap.
I ve tried to assign an ip to the mac address (from my laptop) by arp and in the table it shows the link between the mac and ip, but i m unable to ping the ip after that. I was trying to think of maybe set up a dhcp server from my laptop and see if the plugcomputer gets an ip automatically, but i m not sure if it is working and at the moment i have little experience on set up a dhcp server on linux (sabayon). Do you think is it possible to manage the network card of my plug computer by eth/wlan from my laptop?
I recently setup motion on one of my computers with a USB camera. On that computer if I type [URL] I can see my live video. If however I type [URL] on that computer or any other on my wireless network, I get a page cannot be displayed. I checked that UFW was disabled and I am able to ping the motion computer from any other computer on my network. Also I am not sure if it matters but I do have apache installed on my motion computer as well. why I cant view my live video from different computers I am using Ubuntu 10.4 on all computers
I couldn't find an answer to this question (not including vpn) on different threads so decided to eventually post it, though it's probably easy one. I would like to connect to some application on known IP and port in the internet from my LAN computer. However to do so (I have some application, not any administrative constraints or not being allowed to) I would like to use local addresses. So, let's say - I want to connect to the external host VV.XX.YY.ZZ, port AA using 192.168.EE.FF port BB. Baically so far I have limitation in my application (too many places for possible error, to correct it right now - will change it in future). Is it possible that after my application sends request to 192.168.1.EE port BB, my Linux transparently translates it to VV.XX.YY.ZZ:AA? I tried iptables tutorials and some forums, but nothing seems to be addressing this issue. I don't know if it's event possible with iptables but am pretty sure this should be possible.
Currently my OS is Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Desktop OS and my web server is Apache2. I have a public address 60.x.y.z and my pc local address is 10.x.y.z. I have a web app in my Apache2 which currently run in localhost(10.x.y.z).
I would like to enable the web app so that it could be browse from outside. I know there maybe some port forwarding process and some commands involved in order to do that. But I have no idea on the steps to do that.
Version 10.04 LTS. Installed desktop version and network worked but I needed a static IP address and the install configures for a DHCP configured address. I tried changing to static address using the System->Preferences->Network Connections application but was unable to get the system to come up with the network up.
So I manually modified the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. I restart the system but when I do an ifconfig, I don't see a configured IP address on eth0 (only the loopback address). If I run /sbin/ifup eth0 everything then works fine and ifconfig shows the correct address bound to eth0.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm having problems trying to assign it a static IP address. No matter what I put in the Preferences->Networking area (identifying the interface as Manual)... it still will query DHCP for an address if I run the dhclient command. I'm using to using ubuntu server where I just set the IP in the interfaces config file.
I am working on implementing a protocol on NS2.34 .I really need help to solve this problem . Actually , I don't now whether the problem is generated by the tcl code or the c++ code when I run the simulation, I get this result :
Code: num_nodes is set 64 INITIALIZE THE LIST xListHead 34 45 channel.cc:sendUp - Calc highestAntennaZ_ and distCST_ highestAntennaZ_ = 1.5, distCST_ = 550.0 SORTING LISTS ...DONE! code....
I want to transfer files from my laptop to my desktop remotely over the net. Both these computers access net via different service providers and have dynamically assigned IP addresses. If I know the IP address, I can use ssh to accomplish my task. However if I don't have physical access to the desktop, I cannot know the IP address. Is there a way by which a the desktop sends its public IP address to me so that I can establish ssh connection ?
I am running my own Postfix mail server. Some time ago I noticed that most email was rejected because of the server's dynamic IP address. So I got a fixed IP address. However then I noticed that some mails got rejected due to failing the reverse DNS check. So my ISP told me to get a range of IP addresses and they could then create a PTR record for one of those addresses. That is now running but it turns out that the IP address used for the PTR record is a ... dynamic IP address. So Spamhaus PBL rejects my emails again.
In my job I use some ethernet embedded devices. They take an ip address from dhcp server or auto ip. I only know mac address.How can I obtain ip from mac address? In other words I need a rarp packet generator.
I have a few external IP's assigned to me by my ISP. I have IPcop as my router/firewall. I am wondering how to bind 1 of my external ip's to my internal ip address. So I do not have to port forward, etc. For Example, 77.77.77.77 to 192.168.1.123 and on the server it see's the external IP address.
After logging onto a linux machine via SSH, I would like to be able to retrieve the name of the computer from which the connection was made. Ideally I am looking for some command like hostname or uname but that would retrieve the name of the client instead of the host.
This information must be accessible somewhere, since when I log on I get a message that contains the clinent name from the last login:
Last login: Thu Mar 11 18:42:01 2010 from my.address.com
The reason for wanting to do this is to be able to take different action in my .login file depending on which computer I am currently connecting from.
I closed all Internet related apps and the connection persisted. After a reboot it did not reconnect (yet).The IP address appears to belong to esomniture.com - some sort of web analytics company. How do I prevent my computer from connecting to these rascals. I have found a lot of documentation regarding stopping inbound connections to services on my computer but not the other way. I have various filtering addons installed in Firefox however, this connection seems to be at a lower level as no program is specified as being responsible for the connection.
I dont know for what reason, since 2 days, I started having this message whenever I try to start httpd.I commented "Listen 443", restarted httpd started correctly. I needed to comment "listen 443" in order to be able to start httpdWhat is strange is when I do
First, (for samba) how do I determine whether my computer "gets IP address information from a dhcp server on the network," and whether "the dhcp server provides info about WINS servers ("NetBIOS name servers") present on the network," and consequently whether a change to my smb.conf file, "so that DHCP-provided WINS settings will automatically be read from /etc/samba/dhcp.conf," and whether the dhcp3-client package must be installed?
I tend to forget stuff if I don't work with it for awhile. somehow I struggled through and figured out (with a lot of help) how to set up Ubuntu Intrepid server edition on my computer, and am serving my website from my computer. For times when the free DNS nameserver is 'closed' (often lol) I use localhost and can see/work on my site. Suddenly, when I type localhost into the address bar, I get a blank page, nothing! I'm not sure what to do....can someone please help because am going to use my website to present a class project, and was going to use localhost (bring my computer) in case the nameserver was down, I have to be able to display it.
When i try to connect to MySQL database with MySQL Workbench using root@localhost i get following message: Failed to Connect to MySQL at localhost:3306 with user root
Access denied for user 'root'@'192.168.0.1' (using pasword: YES) which is ok, becouse 192.168.0.1 is not listed as a host from which MySQL server should accept connections.
I am a little confused, becouse i tell MySQL Workbench to connect using localhost, so server should (at least i think so) receive connection from 127.0.0.1
I think i had similar issue with PostgreSQL some time ago, but i just allowed connections from 192.168.0.1 then.
My host file is: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost #::1 ent-pc localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 127.0.0.1 ent-pc
i re-installed ubuntu 11.04 two days ago, to join 2 partitons into 1,anyway i then setup vnc and ssh as normal but now it just times out on both when trying to connect is there a firewall or something in place by default?ports show as open when scanning my external isp address, ubuntu box is in the dmz so no need for ports being forwarded.i also cannot connect via localhost, the above testing i could not connect from my worki can also netcat to my external ip via ssh/vnc ports and read the banners fine?
