I set up a static IP address yesterday, following the instructions at the top of this page and since my machine no longer connects to the internet (although all other machines are connecting fine, so I know it's a result of this change).
View 6 RepliesI recently used this process to connect my Samba network to be able to access and allow Windows XP machines to access my computer on my office network.
For various reasons, all the XP computers on the network are set to fixed (do we say static?) IP addresses with manual DNS. Hence I realised during the Samba setup that I had to set a static IP on my Ubuntu machine similar to my Windows static IP's (ie 192.168.10.?) in order to be able to see the Windows share PC's properly.
Once I set my Ubuntu machine to static IP of 192.168.10.3 with subnet of 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.0.1 then I was able to access and be accessed by PC's on the network. However I couldn't access the internet after this. I input the DNS server in the edit connections as you can see per the attachment. All these settings (except the IP address obviously) were all now exactly the same as the PC machines, and I thought I'd now be able to access the windows network, as well as have access to the internet, however, even though my wired network is connected there is still no internet access.
I'm using the GUI under network connections to make all these changes if that is important. I can't understand why this doesn't work?
how to set up a static IP from Ubuntu... Secondly, on some of the tutorials I read, there was something about changing the DNS server IP adresses. I do know what a DNS server is (Courtesy of www.howstuffworks.com ) but I don't understand why the DNS servers must be changed simply because I chose to use a static IP address.. (My PC connects to the internet via a router.. )
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been reading for days now, but can't find an example to the following. I have an ubuntu server, with two KVM virtual machines running ubuntu jeos. I want each VM to have it's own static IP, plus one IP for the server. How on earth I do that? do I need to create two bridges, one for each machine? and if so, how do I assign static IP to each?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an old pc that I would like to use as a headless server for my music, files, etc that I can access at work and other places outside of my network. I'm a complete noob in this department so please excuse my overwhelming ignorance. The only thing I've managed to succeed at was installing fedora 13. Two things in particular are giving me trouble: 1.)setting up my router and fedora box so that it has a static ip address and 2.)connecting to the fedora box via vncviewer on my laptop.
HERE ARE SOME QUICK SPECS THE DEVICES INVOVLED:
Fedora Box: Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz, 1GB ram, Fedora 13
Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A505, Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20GHz, 4GB ram, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Router: D-Link WBR-1310
ISP: Comcast (cable)
HERE'S WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR:
Setting Static IP
On the fedora 13 box:
1.)Went to Network Connections and added a new connection
2.)Copied mac address from the default connection
3.)On IPv4 tab, added new address: 192.168.0.200 (this is out of the range which my router will assign automatically) netmask 255.255.255.0, set gateway to 198.168.0.1(router's ip on the network)
When I connect to this new connection web pages don't load, etc. but when I'm on the default connection I have no problems.
Connecting With Vnc Viewer
On the fedora 13 box:
1.)System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
2.)Under Sharing I checked "Allow other users to view your desktop" and "Allow other users to control your desktop"
3.)Under Security I unchecked "Ask you for confirmation", checked "Require the user to enter this password", and specified a password
On the router
1.)Set up port forwarding for port 5900, TCP only, to the ip address of the fedora box.
On the laptop
1.)Installed VNCViewer
2.)Went to whatsmyip(dot)org to get ip address of router
3.)Tried to connect to that address, port 5900 (ex. ##.##.##.###::5900)
4.)Connection times out everytime.
My DHCP setting is disabled in fedora 12 . Previously i was using static IP address. I Want DHCP setting enable, any idea.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with a new install of 9.10. I've set the ip address in /etc/network/interfaces and I've also set DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.
The issue I am having is that no address resolves, nor can I ping outside of my LAN. I've wanted to avoid using the GUI network setup because it hasn't been saving the information correctly. Here are how the files look code...
I don't know what eth1 is; I only have 1 ethernet connection in that machine, so I'm thinking it may have something to do with that. However if the machine is using eth1 (which has no address) than it follows that I shouldn't be able to locally ssh or vnc into it, right?
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).

I am currently facing a weird problem, It's that the internet connection becomes extremely slow when using static IP instead of DHCP when Im connected through a cable! The local network seems okay with both, but differs when using the internet!
I've ran a ping test and got the following results!
using static IP
Code:
$ ping -c 3 google.com
PING google.com (209.85.153.104) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 209.85.153.104: icmp_seq=1 ttl=42 time=343 ms
[Code].....
When I used static IP i received only one packet while when using DHCP i received all three!! Also I lost 66% of the packets when using the Static IP connection! And most importantly, the speed, DHCP connection was 8 times faster than Static IP connection!
currently running ubuntu 9.10, the internet connection im hooking up to is a router from a friends personal dish internet (were all deployed to Afghanistan). Here is all the static information that i need to input.now i have all this information input in windows 7 and it works fine since its all broken out exactly how it was given to me in the ipv4 settings page. wicd in ubuntu however wont use these settings.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't know where to put this, or even what I'm looking for.
I've tried for 6 hours today to get my WPA2 wireless to work as a static IP on my laptop to no avail.
Basically I put things in correctly (at least according to that thread) but I get no interent. When I restart I get the correct IP address but no internet pages will load.
The network monitor I have on my panel shows that it is trying to send and receive information, but I can not get my pages to load.
I'm desperately in need of help, but I really don't know how to even ask for it correctly.
But to start here is my interfaces file (one config of about 15 I've tried).
Code:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 10.42.32.113
netmask 255.255.255.0
[Code].....
My router is a linksys WRT54GS. My wireless is set up as WPA2-Personal with the "algorithm" as TKIP+AES.
Its like it wants to connect and gives me an IP. But I just don't get any real web data.
I've restarted and tried restarting just the network.
I am a windows user with no linux experience prior to Friday. Im setting up a music server (SqueezeCenter) running Fedora 10.
With the help of posts of this site Ive made good progress with complicated stuffnamely getting Samba and VNC working. My Fedora machine and my windows machines now see each others shared files, and I can control my Fedora machine from my windows machine. (The Fedora machine will ultimately be headless.)
But Im having trouble with a seemingly simple issue setting up my Fedora box with a static IP address. With DHCP enabled on my network Ethernet adapter, all works fine. I then used the System>Administration>Network menu to disable DHCP and to assign the same IP address that DHCP chose. When I do this, two cases need to be distinguished:
1. If I keep the box checked for Controlled by Network Manager, the Network Manager Applet reports a network connection, I nevertheless cannot access the internet, but my Fedora machine is able to communicate with my Squeezebox music player (connected to my network via my DSL modem Ethernet connections, and with a fixed IP address). 2. If I uncheck the box Controlled by Network Manger, then the Network Manager Applet reports no network connection and my Fedora machine is not able to communicate with my Squeezebox music player (and I of course have no internet connectivity).
Ive seen references on other posts suggesting that the Network Manager service be disabled. But I see no way to manually configure the network.
I can access internet when my eth0 is set toDHCP client. But when I set static I can ping goole.com... but my Firefox browser doesn't connect to Interent!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a fedora 14 box which has a static IP and I can not contact the internet or even my gateway router.I know it has to do with my kernal IP routing table but I can not find the command to do what I need...Here is my kernal IP routing table

My gateway is 192.168.1.1 and my static IP is 192.168.0.2.
I set up a dhcp server in the lan and assigned static ips to two computers, computer A and B, according to their mac address. Everything was running fine. But when I turned off computer A, connected computer C to the network, and assigned computer A's static ip to computer C without changing dhcp setting. Computer C was able to access the internet. When I turned on computer A, dhcp couldn't assign an ip address to it, and computer C showed an error message of ip conflict and failed to use internet. I wonder if dhcp server is able to prevent other computer from using the same static ip that is already assigned to a computer according to its mac address.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and am very excited about using it for the first time. I am very new to computers and stuff though so I don't have much of a clue as to what I'm doing. Although it installed fine, for my wireless connection it says "device not ready". What does this mean and how do I connect to the internet?

Setting up an Internet proxy In the past I had set a computer to act as an Internet proxy. This would be multihomed, and running dansguardian, tinyproxy and firehol. Then webmin would be used as interface. By time I realised that this system is far from effective. Is there some other way to setup a proxy to be placed between users and the Internet? I would like (the admin) to be able to see in which sites users go and have a lot of control on access..

View 2 Replies View RelatedOk so I got my server running with apache2. I can access it via the web with my static IP.
I registered on Godaddy for a domain, and sucessfully setup URL forwarding. When I type in that domain it takes me to my website, but the browser shows the IP address again. Should I not be using "URL forwarding"? I'm guessing I have to do something on my server side saying what domain it is but I don't know which file to change and I am scared to touch anything. Although I'm a programmer, I'm not a network person.
I am trying to open a tunnel for a friend of mine who's isp has blocked a bunch of webpages, so I was thinking I would learn how to since it might come in handy in the future Anyway, so I looked at a couple of videos about going in to network settings and changing the setting to manual and write down the desired IP (in my case 192.168.0.137). Then I went into my router (it's a D-link DI 524) and tried adding my static IP as the DMZ computer. I then restarted, everything looked fine, the router saved the settings and the eth0 still hade the information saved so I wanted to try it out. I just googled "try my ports" and I found a website called [URL]...But no ports worked for me.. I tried double checking everything, checking for errors. I couldn't find anything so I'm guessing you might have a clue!
EDIT: It seemed I had to have a program that actually used the port for it to work.. It's working anyway, so if you could move it to [SOLVED] I'd be happy
If not should I just plug up directly into my modem?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tested several Linux Distros over the last weeks, and with all of them my DSL connection have been working out of the box (for intance Mandriva, Ubuntu, Mint). But it does not work on Dreamlinux, neither on Live CD or now where Dreamlinux is installed on my harddisk.
According to the guidelines provided by my Internet provider I need to use TCP/IP and activate DHCP. And make sure that PPPoE is not activated.
I see nowhere I can do this in Dreamlinux. In the controle panel i can run Wicd. Then I can chose to de-activate Wicd - this gives me an option of entering Adress, Networking mask, Gatway and Nameserver - for static ip it says - and this is the opposit of DHCP, right??
SO - what to do? Should I get a debian package or something? (Dreamlinux is using debian packages, as far as I could see)
I tried to setting a static ip from dhcp, I changed lines in /etc/rc.d rc.inet1.conf as follow:
# Config information for eth0:
#IPADDR[0]=""
IPADDR[0]="192.168.18.7"
#NETMASK[0]=""
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
#USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
and then I run "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart"
after that, can't access net, and couldn't ping the gateway[192.168.18.1], I have to change it back
I have set up one of my linux box as link load balancer for two ADSL connection. After deployment, I have found out that instead of being fast, it has become slow. What I have observed that my request get out to internet but comes back intermittently. Is this a standard scenario ?
