Does anyone have a way of connecting to a secure network via a bash script?
Code:
#! /bin/bash
sudo su
iwconfig wlan0 stop
iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_NAME
iwconfig wlan0 key NETWORK_KEY
iwconfig wlan0 start
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop on which I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. Most things work, but the wireless will not connect to my home wireless network (a Linksys WRT54G). (Cannot see any other WIFI antennas from here, so I don't know if it works on other networks). Ubuntu says I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, Kernel Driver ipw2200.
When I try to look for a wireless network, Ubuntu doesn't see any. (Every other computer in the house does, Macs and PCs). I tried Connect to Hidden Wireless Network > New > and filled in the name and the WEP password that the Linksys gave me.When I select Connect to Hidden Wireless Network and select the network that I entered all the information for, the Connect button is always grayed out.
I'm trying to setup OpenVPN in order to connect back to my home network while traveling for secure browsing and such. However, before I can even start trying to set that up I tried to see if I could open port check my computer through the net. And I'm having a hard time doing that.
As far as I can tell, here are my roadblocks:
1. Is ISP (Qwest) blocking my ports?
2. Is my modem doing the proper port forwarding and firewall?
3. Is my router doing the same?
4. Is my firewall on the computer allowing the request?
To minimize sources of error, I've turned off my local and router firewall and setup my router to forward ports. I'm not to familiar with my modem, but I'm pretty sure that the firewall is turned off by default and I think I've done port-forwarding correctly. But still no success when doing an open port check. At this point I don't know how to diagnose the problem.
I can connect to unsecure routers, but not to any secure routers. NetworkManager doesn't seem to work and neither does anything else I try. I have tried with WPA supplicant but to be honest I have not a clue what to do. I have an Atheros ar5009 card and I'm currently using the ath9k module. Lan works just fine. But my wireless doesn't.

I have updated everything it seems like, but nothing I do seems to work. I have been at this for almost 3 weeks already hoping for a break and so far nothing.
i believe it is a wpa_supplicant problem. running ubuntu 10.04 on a toshiba netbook. i have my account which cannot connect to internet, wicd returns an error that it cannot obtain ip address. cannot even connect to a unesecure network for that matter. if i switch users to another user and do the quick switch users i can get internet then i switched back to my main account and here i am postings. how do i begin to hunt down the problem logs, settings how do some of you begin to hunt down the cause of this and where it would be located.

After an update to firefox it had been failing, giving me a "session timeout" MsgBox. I have tried clearing history etc and reinstalling firefox. I have also tried different browsers with no success.
So, I have since upgraded to 9.10 and now I get "Setup Failed, Sorry" in the bottom left of the screen (where "Done" is displayed once a page has loaded)...
I am now trying a different approach. I have downloaded ncui-6.5R2.i386.rpm and unpacked it fine. I have tried running it, without success and have also run the diagnostic - I will post results below:
When I try and run ./ncsvc I get the following:
Code:
ncsvc> Failed to setuid to root. Error 1: Operation not permitted
So I did a sudo ./ncsvc , which gives:
Code:
mkdir(/root/.juniper_networks) failed: Permission denied
I am pretty sure that my password above is correct - I re-tried it and got the same message... I can definitely do, e.g., sudo apt-get update fine.
I then ran all of the tests available in ncdiag (./ncdiag -A) which gave the following info which might be useful

I recently ubgraded to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04, but I had the same problem there. I can see the secure connections, but when I try to connect to them, it tries to connect, works at it for about a minute, and then asks for the password again. This just started a week ago or so. I am new with ubuntu, so while I know that there are terminal outputs I should probably post, I don't know which ones.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu for quite a long time and I never got around fixing this particular wireless problem. I have tried Network Manager as well as Wicd. I am never able to connect to a secure network (WPA). When I use Network Manager, it just tries for a long time and gives up. As for WiCD, it again tries for a long time and finally says "Bad Password". Of course, the passkey is correct. When I connect to an unsecured network, it goes through just fine. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 which uses a Broadcom 43xx Driver.

I can deal with not being able to print, but not being able to get on my secure wireless network is getting to be a bother.I have AT&T DSL and am using an AT&T 2701HG-B 2Wire Wireless Gateway DSL Router Modem. If I had known that this particular 2Wire router-modem was so crappy, I'd have bought my own and tried wrestling around with that.I recently secured my wireless network and had to change the encryption from WEP to WPA so my iPad could get on it. Both my Mac desktops, the iPad, and an old Windows laptop are working fine, but not my Acer (or my XBox, for that matter). I've searched and searched for a solution and called AT&T (no Linux support :), all to no avail.
When I try to connect to my network, it goes and goes and either says that it can't connect, or shows that I'm connected, but with no signal/net capability.
In setting up wireless connections I have ran into an array of problems. First, when I installed the new OS on my laptop I had to get the correct drivers and firmware for it to display and connect to any connections, had no problem here connecting to a secure wireless network (WPA or WPA2). I then installed Ubuntu on my desktop and had to find the correct driver for the Netgear WNDA3100v2 USB adapter, got it all installed with the Windows Wireless Drivers tool or w/e it is. This made all the available connections come up. I tried connecting with the WPA password I was given for the network and will not connect.
I had the guy managing the network change the one I connect to, to a WEP Passphrase Shared Key thinking this would solve my issue, still nothing. And also in doing so, now my laptop will not connect to the wireless network using the Passphrase. I do not want to go back to Windows, and I will be getting rid of my Lan connection soon so i need a solution to fix this wireless connection problem.
I can connect to the internet through wifi, but I cannot connect to anything on my network. I have a printer and a NAS, so I would really like for this to work again. I have a dell laptop with a Broadcom card.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently fixed an annoying problem and I thought it would be nice to share my solution here. The problem was that after a cycle of suspend/resume, Network Manager would only auto-connect to the same network as it was previously connected to. So, for example, if I suspended my laptop at home, and then I went to school and resumed it, it would try to connect to the home network, and then just give up. It would not connect to the school network unless I explicitly told it to.irst, I'll describe the fix. If you're having this problem, you can this. Copy the following:

I have used ubuntu in the past but had a lot of hardware issues with it and unfortunately moved back to windows (( BUT i have tried Ubuntu again and all seems to work great except wifi My wifi connection is sort of working because when i run SUDO IWLIST SCAN it does pull up all available networks. But in the network manager icon on the panel i left click but i see no networks and can't connect to anything. I WOULD LOVE TO keep Ubuntu and use it permanently but I must get wifi working or else this won't be possible.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently put Linux on a Thinkpad T40 I got. The wireless card works out of the box--I can see nearby networks. However, I can't connect to mine. network-manager would try (spin spin spin), fail, ask for the password, and then go back to the beginning and repeat indefinitely. This happened to me on a different computer, and on that one all I had to do was use wicd instead of network-manager. So I installed wicd, but it's not working either--it hangs at "Obtaining IP address".
I've found many, many threads with people who had the same problem, but none of their fixed worked for me.
I also tried to get wifi going manually, using this guide, but that didn't work.
I'm unable to connect to a particular home wireless network under Fedora 9, although I can connect to it using WinXP on the same machine. My Fedora installation is able to connect to my college's unsecured wireless network, so it's not a driver issue I think.It seems to be an authorisation issue, as I'll describe below, but there's one other thing that's bothering me. The SSID for the network I have problems with is for some reason not listed in Network Manager's drop-down list, nor is it in the output of iwlist wlan0 scan. But I'm pretty sure it's not a "hidden" network - I don't know exactly how those work, but I helped the owner of the wifi network in setting it up, and don't remember doing anything that would make it hidden. As far as I can remember, Windows found the network automatically without having to be told the SSID. What's the best way to confirm whether it's a hidden network or not?
Anyway, I try to connect by selecting connect to other wireless network in Network Manager, and entering the SSID. As far as I can tell from the error messages below, the machine does contact the network and attempt to connect, but I'm not authorising myself properly. That may be a completely wrong diagnosis, but hopefully someone can see from the below info whether it's correct or not.I'm not sure which option to use for "Wireless Security": at the time we set up the network, it gave us a Hex WEP key of 26 characters, which is 104 bits. But none of the options in Network Manager's list match that. Here are the options it has, and the error message I get with each one:None - if I select this, it fails to connect, with no error message.
WEP 128-bit passphrase - if I select this and attempt to use my 26-character WEP key, it brings up a new dialog, saying "Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network [SSID]." It has a drop-down box labelled "Wireless Security", but this time the only option is "None", and the connect button is disabled, I can only click cancel.
WEP 40/128-bit hex - as above.
WEP 40/128-bit ASCII - The connect button is disabled when I try to use the WEP key, as the string is too long. Despite the fact that it says 40/128-bit, it actually accepts 5 and 13-character strings (40 or 104-bit). Since I've got a 104-bit hex key, I tried converting it to ASCII, but it consists of mostly unprintable characters, so I'm not sure there's any way to actually enter it into the textfield. I might have done something wrong here, so I've put my code below to see if anyone can point out a mistake.
LEAP - requires a username, not applicable here I think. Windows doesn't need one, and we don't have one from when we set the network up.Dynamic WEP (802.1x) - requires username, private key and various other things, all N/A WPA & WPA2 Personal - Brings up a dialog with the same text as for "128-bit passphrase", but this time "WPA & WPA2 Personal" is the only option in the drop-down list, instead of "None". It asks for a password, so I just enter the hex key again - now it asks for the password for the Gnome Default Keyring, which I don't think I've ever set up. Don't know if I can go any further with that, but my understanding is that since we were given a WEP key when we set up the network, WPA will be N/A.WPA & WPA2 Enterprise - as Dynamic WEP. N/A.Hopefully that's enough info that someone can help diagnose the problem. Some of the behaviour of Network Manager described above doesn't make sense to me, and I'm wondering if it's buggy.
I've been searching for the exact set of tools to accomplish what I need. I was once at a LANparty. I used my webmail account and I think someone stole my password. I realized that the LAN used hubs instead of switches.
So next time, I thought I could run a server at home, which would allow me to connect with SSL (??). Then I would be able to connect to whatever website knowing that I was secure between myself and my home computer. I guess I would need to have a key before a secure connection could be made. Otherwise a "man in the middle" kind of exchange could take place.
So I guess I would need a VPN between myself and my home computer. Then my home computer would act as a proxy to allow me to surf securely. I'm not sure if these are the correct terms to use. Does anyone know what type of server I'm looking for?
I just got connected to Charter Cable Internet service a few days ago and I'm having a weird problem with my home network. Prior to this my network worked fine. On my network I have a desktop running Ubuntu 9.10/64 and Virtualbox with WinXP installed, an HTPC with Ubuntu 9.10/32 installed and a laptop dual booted with Ubuntu 9.10/32 and WinXP. The desktop and HTPC are hard wired to a wireless router and the laptop is wireless. The cable modem is hard wired to the router. I have samba installed and UFW is disabled. The problem is: with the cable modem turned off or on standby, all machines connect to each other and can transfer files, etc just fine but when I activate the cable modem all of the machines can connect to the Internet but the machines running Ubuntu can't connect to each other on the home network. If I boot the laptop into Windows, it can connect to the Linux machines just fine but if I boot it into Linux, it won't connect to the Linux machines but it can connect to the Internet and as far as the desktop, Ubuntu won't connect to the network but Windows running in the Virtualbox with bridged networking can connect to all of the machines.

The "only way" (recommended) by our IT department is to use a cifs protocol. I've had absolutely no luck with that at all.

I have 2 systems running ubuntu - 1 Karmic and one Lucid - that I am having problems connecting to my wireless network with. On both systems I am trying to use the same USB wireless dongle - a Linksys Wireless G 2.4Ghz 802.11g. On both systems it picks up my network (amongst others) but will not connect. I try to connect, enter the password/key and it processes for a little while an then just comes up with "You are now disconnected...".
I have a BT Homehub (gen 2 I think) which is set up to use WPA/WPA2 (from memonry). I did try downgrading it to WEP and got connected (only tested on one machine) but dont much like using a less secure system.
So I fall upon the mercy of those who are better than me to try and guide me through this. I have looked into it on the forum but couldnt really get my head around the problem.
Give me some info on where to start and how to diagnose the issue?
Just in case anyone wonders - we have a laptop running karmic (im posting this on it now) that has no issues connecting so the network is accessible. I assume the problem I have lies with the linksys adapter and the software using it.
Linux-user, but this has got me scratching my head. I followed this on how to install and configure the DWA-140 to work with Ubuntu 11.04, and "iwlist scan" outputs all of the networks. When i try to connect to my network however, the icon up in the right corner with the signal bars just keeps on going until it prompts for a password to join the network. I enter the password and it goes on for some time, and then it prompts me for the password again.
I'm using a D-Link DIR-655 with the "Only N" mode active. It works fine on other computers (Windows, sigh) but not on my Ubuntu one.
I install 11.04 in my laptop, and now i wana test the 11.04 in my office network.We have a server, that shared the database off our programs in a SAMBA drive. All the others workstations have windows instal and use that databses to work in the programs we have.What i'm traying to do is conect my 11.04 to that network, share files with the others PC, and work in the programs i need like in a win worksation tru wine/crossover. My main problem is that i don't know how to conect to the network and see the other workstations.
