I got a HP netbook. Every time I turn on the computer, for a brief maybe 3 minutes the internet works. Then after that for some reason it turns off. I have no idea what to do and it took 4 hours to get the wireless to work, but to my dismay it keeps turning off after 4 min! It can find the router and the network, but it won't connect again after 4 min.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to connect my desktop to my laptop over a non-internet connected LAN, but when i enable the LAN connection on my desktop (the one with the wireless) its internet stops working.
it is a very similar problem to this except that i am using ubuntu for the machine with the two connections.
right now i have my wireless on the 192.168.1.* address space, while the LAN is to be on 192.168.5.*
note: my goal is not to share internet with my laptop, just be able to connect to it and the internet at the same time.
desktop: ubuntu 9.10 , wireless and LAN
laptop: windows xp, LAN only
I'm trying to set up a wireless AP with Internet sharing. I currently have the AP setup with hostapd and a dhcp server. The clients can connect but there is not Internet sharing. Now my situation is somewhat uniqe in that my internet connection is my teathered android cell phone. The tether app is azilink and i use openvpn to create a virtual networking interface(tun0).
View 4 Replies View RelatedOn this box I have Two seperate Ubuntu installations. Recently in both I seem to be having the same problem. I initially can connect to the internet as per normal and use any internet application. But after a period of time, sometimes just minutes, sometimes hours, even though the icon says connected, I cant update pages or send emails etc because there is no actual connection. My Physical connection is good I know - My Ubuntu laptop and Windows gamming PC connect fine during this period. So
Does this suggest an intermittent hardware fault or is there some thing in Ubuntu I can check to make sure that it is setup correctly and nothing has been corrupted? I am a lay PC person - I dont really want to be command prompting - Plug & Play and Point & Click is my limit.
I tried to install Xubuntu 10.10 Maverick as dual boot on my laptop. However when xubuntu is on, I can't find a way to connect to internet. When I try the 2 arrows on the up-right corner the option for wireless is deemed. I tried offline/online, that did not work either. when I click the firefox It says you are not connected.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.10, and I would like to use my computer to share the internet connection from an ethernet port. For example, I would like to set up my computer as a wireless access point so I can create a network that other computers can connect to for internet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a server with two ethernet ports. I configured eth0 to be static, set at 10.1.10.148. I plugged in another router into the other ethernet port in order to configure that router. I configured eth1 to use dhcp. Using /etc/network/interfaces rather than gnome network manager. When I did this, I lost internet connectivity (internet routes through eth0 of course)
- Why did I lose internet connectivity?
In order to recover internet activity, I had to disconnect the new router on eth1 of course, and do sudo ifdown eth1. That wasn't enough however. After rebooting numerous times and pulling out my hair, I finally tried configuring eth0 as dhcp, rather than static, and this fixed the problem.
- Why didn't sudo ifdown eth1 solve the problem? What information was saved between reboots that somehow remembered that I plugged in the new router? Because my thinking was if /etc/network/interfaces was identical, and the network topology was identical, after a reboot everything should be restored, but it wasn't.
I can't upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 because it said that there's a problem with my network connection. When there's none, since I am typing this now.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 11.04 desktop on my desktop in dual boot with Windows 7.
Heres my problem, I am unable to connect to the Internet even though my wired Ethernet connection says it is connected normally. The wierd thing about this is that I also have a wireless card in my desktop and when I connect through that I am able to connect to the Internet. I am connecting to a router that is functioning as a repeater to my main router/cable modem. I have tried to solve this myself but am having no luck. Ironically, earlier today suddenly my ethernet connection worked for a few minutes without me modifying anything.
The output of some terminal commands are below.

I suffer enormously from net addiction (as well as gaming addiction and related behavioural maladies).I've had revelatory success in controlling my time online-and, in general, in front of a screen with unproductive applications- by locking my monitor's power cord into an Ems PowerCop (the key to which I keep at work). Writing and journaling, I do on an AlphaSmart Neo. However, I could really use a tool to allow me to edit and typeset my writing (and only those tasks).I'm considering buying an ultra-low cost net-book.I want a netbook because it's the cheapest way to keep the display power fully dependent and integrated with the machine---I can't have something that will allow a simple means of working around the Ems PowerCop. Also, since it lacks an optical disk drive (and since I'll be keeping my usb drives at work) there will not be an easy way to reinstall the operating system. However, before I buy anything, I need to know that, after installing/configuring all of my preferred settings for vim and La/Xetex, there is a way that I can cripple the netbook and all of its applications so that no internet access is possible.
The Cherrypal Africa can come with either Ubuntu, Debian, or its own Linux blend, Green Maraschino. If it ends up being either Ubuntu or Debian, what can I do that will irreversibly (at least, from a software level---a hardware level would probably require damaging the usb ports, which I don't want to do) disable its ability to try to communicate with the internet (including the software repositories)? I'm hoping for a particular system file that I can delete rather than the addition of a command somewhere that would be easy for me to undo when I'm bored out of my mind and want to see what Wikipedia has to say about the glycemic index.
I just want to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to connect to the internet. I have done a massive amount of troubleshooting, but some of it seems to contradict itself, and the only two things that I know for sure are that it used to work, and that my Ethernet cable is not the problem. When I use Terminal utilities like ifup and dhclient it seems that it can not determine IP information, but when I try to put it in manually, the "Apply" button grays out right after I finish typing it in. When I try to connect normally, in KDE or GNOME, the icon acts like it's connecting, then instead of having the connected icon, I receive a notification that "the network has been disconnected", and it goes back to the disconnected icon.
Oh, and by the way, I know that I could probably find a workaround, but I have limited resources, and this used to work. The Linux is a Dell desktop with Fedora 12 and the Windows is a Windows 7 HP laptop.EDIT: I hope that I didn't mess something up, but I accidentally used system-network-config to try putting in the IP address there, and ended up changing it back to the original settings, but the computer is now calling it Auto Ethernet in the taskbar icon, although sudo iwconfig in the terminal still calls it eth0.
I have installed fedora 12 recently. after installation i tried to connect to the internet using BSNL broadband connection. I filled in the details such as IP, Netmask, Gateway and even DNS servers. In the services also I ensured that the network manager services is on. However even though my computer cannot connect to the internet. I then tried the ping test of the modem from the address 192.168.1.1 and found that the ping test is successful. Then i tried the network administrator and there I noticed something unusual.
There are two options in the devices eth0 and eth1 thats ok but the unusual; thing is that the Activate (green button), Deactivate (red button) and even the delete buttons are in the background and I cannot select them. Isthis the problem for the network connectivity.

I'm not really a newbee in Linux but I am a newbee in networking. I have both a Ubuntu laptop and a Gentoo desktop computer. I have just bought me the MBR1000 Cradlepoint router and it works great with my Verizon USB 760 modem plugged in it. I can now send and receive email on my Ubuntu laptop. I like it.My Gentoo desktop computer is just sitting there with no Internet access because my Verizon modem is no longer plugged into it but plugged into the router instead. Only my laptop now has Internet access. The laptop has an integrated wireless card built in the MB but my desktop has no such capability.
Is there a way (besides buying a wi-fi adapter) to get Internet access on my desktop computer through networking so that the router would give both computers Internet access at the same? My Gentoo desktop does have an ethernet adapter that perhaps I could useThe router has several LAN ports and one WAN port, both unused.
I have also encountered a similar version of this problem. After upgrading from 9.10 (using a disk install, not via update manager), I lost my connection to my local network (as well as internet). All other devices attached to my local network have access to both internet and to the other devices on the local network, except for my Ubuntu 10.10 computer.
According to my router, the Ubuntu 10.10-computer is attached and has been assigned an ip-address. However, it is not possible to successfully ping from my 10.10-computer or to it. From the computer I can ping "localhost" but 127.0.0.1 fails!
I'm a novice linux user. I have a computer at home running Ubuntu 9.10. I would like to be able to connect to it with SSH when I am away from home.From another computer at home, I can connect using
Code:

but I cannot connect using

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD and I can't connect to the internet. I click on System --> Preferences --> Network connections and under the tab DSL I click Add. After i fill the information I click to connect to the new connection and after a while it shows me a baloon which says "Wired network: Disconnected - you are now offline".

Not able to connect to internet
View 9 Replies View RelatedYesterday I helped my neighbor install Ubuntu 9.10 on his PC. This PC had XP with many bad viruses is the reason for the change. This is not a dual boot setup. Strictly Linux. I know the hardware is fine because DSL communications was working at the time of the install.
I've found a few threads describing problems with the Network Manager and DSL. [URL] I'm in kind of a "chicken and the egg" situation. This Linux PC has no internet connection right now and many of these fixes are downloads via the terminal. However, at my house, I have XP running and online. Can I download these fixes and copy to a flash drive and install on his Linux box?
Today I put in two brand new RAM sticks, same brand as the two I already have in there only difference is the new ones don't have the giant heatsinks that cover the stick. I have 4 slots for RAM, and I had 2 gigs in there, 1 gig in the first, and 1 in the 3rd. I put the two new ones in the empty slots. Everything worked fine, so it seemed. I was able to boot up, log into Ubuntu. It looked like everything worked, said I had internet access by the icon up on the top panel. The only thing that was curious was my weather app wasn't updating. So I went into a web browser, and the home page showed up fine. Which was the default, the ubuntu google search engine. I tried to go to another site though, and it kept looking for the site, for a while but never found it. I tried multiple sites, same thing. I tried to ping www.ubuntu.com, and www.yahoo.com and it just hung for a while, after a while it couldn't find it. I tried ifconfig eth0, and even just ifconfig. It showed that eth0 was connected, it had the ip address, the DNS address, the MAC, everythting. Only problem I could see was at the end it said something like Interupts: 18, I don't know if that's normal or not.
So I tried then to reset the router, no difference. I tried resetting the hub (at least I think it's a hub, could be a switch or something), which is connected to the router, and the hub connects to my computer. Now that, made it worse. Now the icon for my internet has disappeared, well it tried to reconnect but can't. ifconfig eth0 brings up no ip address anymore, no DNS, no nothing. I tried rebooting, didn't help.
So here I am, and I'm definatly in need of some help. I find it very hard to believe that adding new RAM would kill my ability to get online, that doesn't make any sense to me. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, had 2 gigs in there, and now have 4. Edit: I tried rebooting once again, and this time when logging on Ubuntu it for some reason checked my filesystem for errors, found none as far as I can tell, then logged on. Once I logged in, it connected again to the internet, but it's doing the same thing it was before I restarted the hub. Says I'm connected, but can't visit any webpage, weather isn't updating, but homepage is showing up, etc.[URL].. Which is the same RAM I had in there, minus the one in there had a giant grey incasing/heatsink on them.
I have a Ubuntu desktop on my LAN that has suddenly stopped accessing the net, this morning it was working nicely. The computer DHCPs an address successfully, and it can access other comps/services on the LAN. Other comp have no trouble accessing the web.I've pinged my gateway, and I get a response, but pinging Google for example gets me a 100% packet loss.I've tried to release and renew the IP using dhclient, I've unplugged and replugged in the cable at both ends (didn't really expect it to work since it can dhcp fine), I've rebooted the switch, the router, and the comp, still I'm getting the same problem. I haven't played with any firewall settings either.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I click on the network connection sign at the top of the screen on Xubuntu (even on Ubuntu--I uninstalled it to see if that was the problem but the problem persisted on Xubuntu), it will say wireless network 'device not ready'. i tried running a command from the Xubuntu Troubleshooting and it said that my device was turned off for some reason.

About my network card...
Hardware details:
Board: Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini-Card Rev 5.8
Chipset: BCM4312/BCM2050
I forgot to mention at the bottom that it won't let me look at my hardware drivers and it says I don't have the correct things properly installed and then it won't show any drivers (so this problem probably cannot be solved using ndiswrapper).
I have always been a mac user and a couple of days ago I decided try ubuntu. My first step into ubuntu was the installation of Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 LTS on an desktop computer. Everything went smooth until I tried to connect to internet and I wasn't able. The thing is that the network is working fine, because I'm connected to it from my mac and other windows users too. I already tried everything without success. I have two dlink routers connected via cable, and only one has DHCP enabled. I'm trying to connect to the one that has the DHCP disabled via cable. I already try static ip configuration. I really would like to install ubuntu on both computers the desktop one and my mac, but I need to solve the internet issue first.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to Ubuntu, and have run into problem after problem with networking. The current one: I can't ssh out or connect to the internet, and ping gives a "unknown host" or "network is unreachable". But I can ssh into my computer from others on my network. "route -n" gives 2 entries, neither of which is "default", which from my reading it seems like you need, but I don't know how to remedy that. Is this a DHCP problem?
I'm on a university network, so I doubt it's a problem at their end, but I don't think I changed anything when this suddenly stopped working. On a more meta level, is it normal to run into a different network connection problem every few weeks? I'm not touching anything, I swear! Every linux user I know seems to know ping/ifconfig/route/netstat like the back of their hand, and if it's always like this, it's enough to drive a girl back to windows.
setup Ubuntu. Both of us in the internet. Of couse both of us behind NAT. Of couse both of us doesnt have access to router. So is anywhere available instruction how i can join to his terminal session.
