Ubuntu Networking :: Crossover Direct Connect To Windows 7 Pc?
Apr 8, 2010
Ive just installed ubuntu on a small nettop type pc. It can connect to the internet but I want a direct network connection thru gigabit LAN using a crossover (apparently a straight cable would have been sufficient). Anyway, I have no idea where to begin. The network connection manager in Ubuntu shows Autoeth1 which is right and, if I manually set the IPv4 I can get the PCs to somehow see each other and the 7 pc to give a 'network access only' but that's it.

I tried to connect two ubuntu computers via crossover network. But sometimes they can connect and see each other and even ping each other and sometimes not!
Each time, each of my PC's can ping it's own IP address but may not ping the other PC. I tried to disconnect cable, reconnect, disable network, enable it again, change IP address, disconnect via Network Manager Applet, reconnect and... . But when one of them don't want to connect I can't do this anyway!
Anyone knows what must be the problem? Sometimes it took about many seconds to get them connected, and sometimes they can't connect for many hours.
I must add that I have an ADSL modem on one of two Ubuntu PCs that connect via another cable.

I cannot connect my Dell Inspiron 1300 through the NetworkManager "wired" connection, when I try to go direct to the cable modem. It fails to connect.
If I connect the cable modem to my (linksys WRT54GS) wireless router, and then connect my laptop to a wired port in the router, it connects in seconds, successfully.
This has happened to me 2 other times, when I tried to connect my laptop to a client's cable modem, because my client did not have a wireless router available, in their home.
My wireless works fine. This has me perplexed. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and NetworkManager Applet 0.8
I've tried some things to see what is going on, such as "ifconfig" "dhclient" as well as modifying the "Auto eth0" parameters and adding my laptop's MAC address, etc. Results were no fix or solution. I feel like I'm headed down the wrong road. Would someone set me straight? I have a feeling this is simpler than I think.
Do I have to actually reset my own or someone's cable modem to get this to work? I don't want to do that unless there's no other way. Is there? Let me know what commands I can or should run.

i'm currently travelling in across Japan and facing difficulties connecting to hotel's ethernet connections under ubuntu 10.0.4- when plugging in the ethernet cable nothing happens- rebooting doesn't change anything either.this wasn't a problem before, and i can connect to hotel's ethernet under windows 7 which i'm currently using to post this, but something doesn't work under ubuntu, which is now my main os.
staying at my inlaw's house for a while, i ran pppoeconf to use their optical fibre connection, which worked, but also seems to be the root of the problems i'm now facing to go online via ethernet elsewhere. it seems like pppoeconf disabled something.

How can we force an application which is using a direct Internet connection inherently to connect through a proxy server connection. Like redirecting the direct traffic generated to a proxy server.

So i have a Vista desktop wirelessy connected to the router and a laptop running UNR 10.04. I used a Gigaware Cat5e crossover network cable to connect the desktop and laptop, and the lights light up orange so it's responsive i guess. I installed samba and can access my shared files on vista from my laptop but the transfer is 1mb/sec, i was hoping the crossover could help achieve something like 50mb/sec. Which is why i don't think i set it up right at all. How can I connect vista to ubuntu via crossover cables to transfer files?

I've been reading too much and understanding too little. What I have: Lucid laptop & desktop. Both have ethernet > hub > internet. What I want: connect them directly by the serial ports so the laptop can access the desktop's drives, and the desktop can be retired from the internet. I've got an old DB-25 null-modem, last used for multiplayer Doom. The laptop's dock has DB-9, so the connections is desktop > null-modem > Belkin DB-25 - DB-9 cable > laptop.
I had hoped this post would get me somewhere:[URL].. No such luck. When I ping 'grin.local', the connection is through the internet. If I disconnect the hub, i cannot ping.
Dunno if there's something more I should do to enable serial connection in Lucid, or if my null-modem is no longer good. I'm also rather curious how "grin.local" manages a connection through my ISP's system. These are DHCP. Shouldn't that have required the full numerical IP?
(It's nothing to do with the hub. Checked that by connecting a third box to the hub. My ISP only hands out two IP. I couldn't ping the third box.)

got a watchguard firebox 1000 here, old tech i know, the manuals/pdfs on their site want me to use a crossover cable for the quick setup and I havent got any at the moment, but I got dozens of normal patch cables and switches. Can I use 2 patch cables on a switch to simulate a crossover cable scenario? If so ... would there be anything extra to do to make that method work? --tia
this thread indicates there is no difference other than what they mention in the thread? confirmation on that? [URL]

I have a desktop running Ubuntu 8.04. I installed 10.04 on my laptop. When I mount my desktop music folder on my laptop and transfer files, they now only go at 100-200 KB/s. When I had 9.10 installed, they transferred at 1-2 MB/s.
This is the command I use to mount the directory:
sshfs matt@169.254.6.233:/home/matt/Music/ /home/matt/Music/desktop/
Is there any way I can speed it up to get it back to max speed?

At the outset I would like to tell everyone that I am still relatively a newbie in linux. I use a usb mobile broadband data card to connect to the internet, and I recently purchased another desktop for my wife. Both of us do not share any files, but I do not have a router and was wondering if I could share my connection with her using a crossover cable.I did a lot of Googling around and tried various different things, I even followed another thread in the same forum but the most that I have got is my network manager saying that connection has been established. I am however not able to see her computer under my windows network and don't know how to proceed.I don't know where I am going wrong, and considering that my knowledge of networking is at below basement level, I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

Here is the setup I have. Two debain (squeeze machines) A1(eth0,192.168.33.1, netmask 255.255.255.0) and B1(eth0,192.168.43.1, netmask 255.255.255.0). They both have 3 nics'. So I am trying to connect to each other with a crossover cable and I have added the routes manually. eg: on machine A1 route added was
route add -net 192.168.43.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.33.2 eth1
and on machine B1
route add -net 192.168.33.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.43.2 eth1
For project purposes they both have to be on different networks, evn thouhg they are in same room.

I have dell dimension 4700 I installed slackware 12.2 onto with the of making it a headless home network jukebox that I could ssh into and control via a crossover cable.From other posts I've seen, it looks like I just need to set up the IP addresses under the same netmask, and can use ssh then. On the slackware machine, it does not seem to recognize an eth device.
Code:
# dmesg | grep eth
Driver 'st' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods

I have a home network and I use Samba to share files. Now when I am on the network, I can see the shares just fine, but if I use a crossover cable, I cannot see or access the folders or files.My goal is to use a crossover cable from one computer with clonezilla to my server in order to use Samba to make an image of my workstation and save the image on my server.But everytime I try to connect with clonezilla I get a persmissions error and the share will not mount. I tried going to the shell and mounting as root, but that did not work either.
I have another server which is only a console and it works though I am unsure why. The share though is a mounted usb drive while on the one that does not work, it is on the internal hard drive.I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or anything I could try to narrow down the problem. Oh, I can access the share using ssh, but not samba. One other thing, the shares are set to allow read/write access to everyone so I don't see why I can not access it.

I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.5. I am trying to browse to the Windows machines on my network (Places > Network Servers > Windows Network), but I get a blank window. I am able to ping the Windows machines using their IP address, but not by their name. What do I need to do to be able to see the Windows machines and also to connect to shared folders on these machines? So far I have tried starting SMB (via System > Administration > Server Settings > Services). I have also tried changing my smb workgroup to "WORKGROUP" (the default was mygroup which did not match my Windows machines.

I can not share documents with windows xp PC and Ubuntu 10.04 via crossed UTP cable (direct, without switch)
In xp the folders are ready to share and can be accessible from windows 7 with the same way.
I followed some tutorials from the web, for example:
$ sudo apt-get install samba samba-common smbclient winbind
$ sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
; name resolve order = lmhosts hosts wins bcast
remove ";"
[Code].....
and restart services: [URL]
Also i made different changes in /etc/samba/smb.conf but is impossible access to XP pc...

I have a simple home network that I am trying to connect Ubuntu 10.04 to. I have no server yet, although I will possibly be adding one in the near future.
I have no problem getting a Internet connection on for Ubuntu. I also can access the Ubuntu machine from my Windows 7 computer. The problem I'm having is being able to access any computer from Ubuntu.
When I go Places->Network, the only option is 'Windows Network'. Opening this, I get two options, 'MSHOME' and 'WORKGROUP' I attempt to open both, and get the same response: "Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server."
How am I able to access the other computers from Ubuntu?

trying to create a "local network" by directly connecting an IBM Thinkpad with Debian Linux installed on it to an Alix computer running Voyager Linux. I'm following a "how to" I found to create a music server, hence the requirement. My issue is I can't get a static IP address to be configured on the Debian machine.I've trawled the net and have found the instructions about editing the /etc/network/interfaces and have tried to do this. First I tried to get DHCP working so I could connect the Debian machine to the net and this proved successful. I edited the interfaces file to look as follows:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Then I tried adding a static IP address to the machine. As this is a network purely between two machines I made up the IP addres and used 192.168.0.1 and used a NetMask calculator to give me a NetMask of 255.255.255.254 (I told the calculator there would be 2 machines on the network). I then edited the interfaces file as follows:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
[code]....
I re-booted the machine (ifdown eth0 followed by ifup eth0 keeps saying that eth0 hasn't been configured - a problem there that I don't understand), but during boot up time it failed to assign the Static IP address to eth0 and made me go into SU mode. To fix it I simply replaced the interface file with the static IP inputs with the file that had the DHCP entries (I'd made a copy of the DHCP file), and re-started the machine. Everthing came up fine. So the first question is how do I get a static IP address to be assigned to eth0 such that whenever I shut down and restart the machine the static IP address is always loaded?
The second question is around creating the network via the cross over cable. From what I've found via Google, all I should have to do is create a static IP address on the Debian machine and a static IP address on the Voyager machine. Once they're connected by the cross over cable they should see each other. Is that correct, or do I have to do anything else?

My laptop has Ubuntu 9.10. It can connect to shares on my XP and Vista computers without issue, but cannot connect to a share on my Windows 7 system. I'm using "Connect to Server" and have tried by both Computer name and IP address. When I click connect, it prompts me for User ID, workgroup and password, however when I enter them, the same prompt comes back a few seconds later and is blank. I don't receive any errors, it just won't connect.My XP and Vista systems can connect to the Windows 7 share, just not the Ubuntu system

I have Ubuntu 9.10 setup on a test box. I am able to connect to my Win XP box shares but I cannot connect to my Win 7 (64 bit) box I get the usual 'Unable to mount location'. I can get to the Win 7 share from my other Win box so it is a valid share. I also cannot connect via the Remote desktop viewer. I am afraid that if I cannot get this going my Ubuntu experiment i over before it started.

Sometimes I am unable to connect to my WEP network in ubuntu. No matter how many times I try, even restarting, it will not allow me to connect. However if I boot into XP, I can connect to the network. Then when I reboot again and then try in Ubuntu again, it will work.
Router is a Netgear MR814v2

I have an Ubuntu latest box that runs as a server for my xampp. And then an old windows laptop to connect with, this is for web development purposes. When I boot up windows I try and access the local ip of the server = it works. But after awhile.. maybe a few mins or an hour windows cannot connect anymore of Ubuntu, I always get "Internet explorer cannot display the webpage" error. I tried ping and it would not work, I'm quite sure the IP did not change at all. I reboot and try again, it works. I reboot again to test, it doesn't work.
I don't get it, =/ Ubuntu doesn't have any form of firewall, just the default settings. Both could use the internet but oftentimes fail for local networking...

I have a dual booted Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.10 box and have an unusual problem in that after connecting to the internet on Windows I cannot connect using Ubuntu. I don't believe it is actually a problem with configuring my Ubuntu connections because when I get up in the morning Ubuntu connects without any problem - this problem only exists (and persists for at least several hours) if I try to connect immediately after connecting on Windows. I don't know how long the problem lasts because I usually get so ***ed off I just go to bed and then in the morning I can connect. As I have recently been forced to change my ISP due to moving house, is it possibly a problem with my provider's service and not a Ubuntu problem at? I have a second Ubuntu 9.10 box which I have to manually connect [URL] which does connect even when the dual booted one won't.

I may be missing something very easy here, but I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit (I have also tried 10.04 32 bit) and I cannot connect to my windows machines. I can't connect by going to the network window, or by connect to server via ip. Basically, I can see the windows machines but then I double click it, and it asks for the credentials. I'm the admin of all of the machines, and I only have one login to my windows machine, which is my name First Last. I am entering this, and my password (which I'm sure is correct) and click "Connect". It thinks for maybe a half second, then presents me a blank credentials box, wanting me to start over.
I can connect to my Macbook without any troubles.
I'm using an Acer AspireRevo 1600, wired connection.

I am used to using Ubuntu Desktop edition (Lucid Lynx to be exact), so I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition for my little Acer Aspire One. One problem though. The places menu isn't there anymore.
How do I connect to a windows machine share? I tried searching the forums, but they all mention using Places > Connect To Server.

I need to reinstall the samba directory, mainly to get the default smb.conf. It appears I have to remove smbclient, which takes ubuntu-desktop with it (which I now know is mostly ok). Hopefully reinstalling those will then replace /etc/samba. There's enough troubleshooting samba threads out there for the rest. I'll flag this solved when I'm done.
I am working on setting up BackupPC on Maverick , for my network. I am unable to view my WinXP machine's shares if I type "sudo smbclient -L //JonDoe/" . However it works if I use the XP machine's IP "sudo smbclient -L //192.168.1.100/". Viewing the workgroup (with the proper name) in Nautilus only shows the Ubuntu machine. I ended up using multiple how-tos which had me install the following packages : Samba, smbfs, system-config-samba.
With all that nothing worked so I decided to uninstall the above with "remove completely" in synaptic, expecting everything to be completely gone. But /etc/samba with smb.conf still existed so I deleted it. OOPS!!! . Installing Samba after the uninstall did not create a new /etc/samba/ directory. Reinstalling smbclient in synaptic didn't create it either. Uninstalling smbclient with pull BackupPC with it. Sweet! I do have a firewall package installed which allows outgoing but blocks inbound traffic from outside my LAN. I will disable it when I get home.

Excuse me if such thread exists already, i carefully searched the forum so i wont create a second one concerning the following problem:So i downloaded (on my new fresh Fujitsu SIEMENS Li3710 running Vista the Ubuntu 9.04 distro.. im a complete Linux noob, but i wanted to give it a second try) so i downloaded it and burned it on the fast laptop, so there wont be any errors caused by low memory during burning I installed and then i went to the Ubuntu desktop - i had all drivers installed. Everything but Amarok sound worked, i turned off my laptop and went doing my job.. The next time i started up my laptop and went on the desktop .. a tradition is to browse the web, so i did that and i couldnt load a single page, except pages with direct IPs i had Skype working just fine and i had a friend there running SuSe and asked him for help. We identified it as a DNS problem, but because of my noobness i couldnt deal with it and i HAD TO switch back to windows, wich i regret so much.
I know that im a noob, but if i have an internet running at its best i can look at forums and resolve my other issues, so im asking for a screenshots on DNS settings so i can fix it the next time i install Ubuntu.Also! I was using cable via PPPoE (and the only terminal command i know is "sudo pppoeconf" ), now im with router, connecting my laptop directly via WI-FI, will i have the same problem and will i have to make settings so i can connect to my router? Because back then i tried to connect to wireless networks and the ones i could connect on XP/Vista/7 i simply couldnt connect on Ubuntu...I really want some real PC knowledge and to use Linux
