Ubuntu Networking :: Router Too Far Away - Failed To Establish Connection
May 3, 2010
Dual boot Vista Basic and Ubuntu 10.04 on low spec PC. I can connect to the wireless when I am next to it. I move to the room where the computer is normally used and I lose connection. I can still see it but it fails to establish a connection. Okay, sounds like it's just too far way but when I re-boot and use Vista, it works fine (1 or 2 bars, but it works). Is this a driver issue? Anything I can do apart from move my wireless router?

Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection. I checked my hosts file which has the following information:

I've been at this the last 3 hours now or so. I am not a very good with Linux, I am fine with all other areas. I have this laptop, with a Intel Pro 2200BG card. The idea was to install a lxde lightwieght on it and use PCLINUXOS, because its "easy". This computer is for internet browsing and thats it. Under the Network Center -- I can see all networks, including neighbours. When I try to connect to my router via Wireless, I get connection failed over and over.
I then tried doing all the following:
Changing the router from WEP to, WPA, WPA2 personal, WPA2 Enterprise
Changing the SSID, broadcasting to ON, changing the SSID name
I've used various different passwords, and reset the router now about 50 times. I am connecting to my Router (as Ive changed the SSID and noticed it picks up the new name). (Yes I can see the correct MAC addreess). Yes I am on the right channel, all good here.
My Nintendo DS is connecting fine with all the changed settings now. The wireless card worked fine under Windows XP (However I just removed the operating system since I really had no need for it). I've tried every other mode, it works wired. Like I had explained above, I downloaded a what I thought was an easy verison (distro), I was really hoping to get away from the crazy windows life with crazy errors and instability.
I did try enabling display log, and doing it manually by adding a connection, etc. The log tells me about as less would a windows event log: it says
Problems occurred during the network connectivity test
This can be caused by invalid network config or problems w/ your momde / router
Reluanch, etc.
I can connect to the internet fine with wvdial and wvdialconf; heck I am even posting from my PCLinuxOS FM Distro. I want to setup an ethernet connection between two PC's, one running PCLOS 2010.11 FullMonty and the other Knoppix 6.2.0. Knoppix is fine and setting up a connection is simple but with PCLOS I have been having many problems trying to set it up. I tried using the drakconnect tool but it did not work. I tried assigning it a static IP Address but the other PC would still not pick it up and to to it all I keep getting the same error message about problems during the network connectivity test!

I'm trying to setup PPPoE connection to establish my DSL connection, but I got
Code:
pppoe[3885]: read (asyncReadFromPPP): Session 4479: Input/output error
pppd[4104]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
in my sylog file.
When I do pppoe-start, it connected but I cannot ping into any destination (even to my modem in the same network). DNS servers are explicitly set in pppoe.conf and resolv.conf. Did I miss anything?

What I have:
Computer: Dell XPS M1210
Modem: SpeedStream 51000 - It's SBCGlobal
I followed the pppoeconf setup instructions.
cracker@Jack:~$ sudo pppoeconf Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5
I then asked it to start the connection.
cracker@Jack:~$ sudo pon dsl-provider
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5
Checked connection information and got this.

I am trying to establish an ssh connection to my server. I have a regular ssh connection working through the command line, so I know my key works and I have the port forwarding on the router correct.
When I go to Places -> Connect to Server the window comes up properly. The only problem is that the drop down menu only has one option in it for Service Type. It is Custom Location. I have had this set up in the past and there were other options there. I chose the ssh connection and everything was fine. Now it doesn't work.
I have tried to completely uninstall nautilus and reinstall it, but that didn't work. When I did uninstall it, I uninstalled gnome-session as well, and I reinstalled that one too.

I am trying to set up, I am having problems understanding what steps I need to take but have done the following on recommendation of help from linux forums but am not getting anywhere with what I have done. PC:
Laptop Dell latitude D610
Ubuntu Gnome 2.26.1
I currently have a wired connection to my laptop but am trying to set up wireless, I have put the antenna on the router and have a wireless network showing called NETGEAR, amongst others, which is my primary router name so i'm trying to connect to that but the actual wireless antenna is on the switching hub. For all intents and purposed assume I am a complete newbie with ubuntu and linux command line stuff, I know basics like pwd, ls and so on but need a good bit of help trying to do this. When I click on this wlan network NETGEAR I get asked for the password, on the bottom of the switching hub is a code for WLAN and I put this in, it then asks for a password for a default keyring, which I do not know. How do I find this out?
But I am still not sure what I am supposed to be doing or looking for to resolve this connection problem, not only am I not a network expert I have no knowledge of linux either and steps to follow to establish a connection.

I'm using Ubuntu for almost two years and everything has worked well till now. One day I have reinstall ubuntu in my computer, but then something went wrong. I couldn't anymore establish my internet connection. I have tried everything but nothing helped. I even reinstall my ubuntu multiple times but there was no efekt. Even when I installed Kubuntu or an older Ubuntu 10.10, there was no internet. I'm also using Windows 7 but there is always a internet connection. I didn't change any hardware on my computer, only a new AMD graphic card. I'm using wired optical Internet 10/10 MB.

I am kind of new to linux and have installed the lucid lynx ubuntu distro (10.04) and then "upgraded" it to ubuntu studio but it still says is the lucid lynx. I got a Samsung Q430 laptop with the Atheros AR9285 wireless adapter.I have everything up and running EXCEPT my wireless card. The wireless card DOES work, it does see all the connections available, but when I choose to connect it does not, and keeps asking for the password.
Weird thing is that when I use my samsung galaxy tab as the wireless adapter for its 3G signal, it does seem to work fine (although really slow). I have tried looking for a solution, some say to just install the drivers, but ubuntu does not recognize anything to need a driver except the video card. I have installed linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic I have also tried the bleeding edge drivers.
After a while of experimenting by myself I came with the following, somewhat rudimentary. I managed to fix the problem by installing the windows wireless driver utility. Here is a tutorial on how to do it. So I just installed it, went to system/administration/windows wireless drivers and just installed it. Downloaded the file from here [URL]. It may not be the best way to fix it, but it does work. Still if you can use ethernet, don't hesitate to do it.

I have had long term access to a networked HP Photosmart printer but now I get the following message:
Unable to open device hp:/net/Photosmart_C5100_series?ip=192.168.0.161.
when trying to access it.The ubuntu desktop is wired to the router as is the printer and another iMac wirelessly can still print to the HP. HPLIP status shows the icon for the printer but with a red x indicating no connection to it.The only recent network change was the removal of another router from our network. (service is DSL via a combo modem/router from service provider which previously was connected to a Dlink router which has now been removed from the chain b/c was redundant to the modem/router)

I'm trying to connect to a hidden wireless network in ubuntu through the terminal but i am unable to do so.
I first tried using ifconfig,iwconfig and dhclient initially but i am only able to get an ip address without the default gateway and dns server addresses which i normally get through the network manager applet.
Then i tried using cnetworkmanager but failed miserably again i keep getting this error
Code:
Another applet is running: Bus name already exists: org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings (pid 1851)
Then i used nmcli available with the network manager package. i was able to establish a connection only with the connections showed in the list. i use a hidden wireless network. i am unable to connect to the hidden wireless network using nmcli without actually creating a connection from the network manager applet.

My desktop computer, running 11.04 (fresh install) sometimes can't establish a wired Ethernet connection. Sometimes when I boot, it keeps trying to establish, but with no luck. I keep trying to choose "Auto eth0" from the networking menu, but still, it doesn't succeed. If I reboot, it sometimes works. I can't establish a connection about half the times that I boot.
The computer is connected with a cable to a router ("Belkin Wireless Pre-N router"), and the router is connected with a cable to a cable modem.I've been using Ubuntu for a while, and I've had a problem for the past few versions (since around 10.04)? I thought that it might be some old issue that got resolved, so I did a fresh install of 11.04 today, and still have the same behaviorI'm willing to try things next time I can't get a connection, but don't know what.

I have an issue relating my broadband connection, which I am not able to solve. I hope and wish, that I would find some way out here.
Some introduction: I am using Dell Inspiron (i3 processor) laptop, which I recently bought. I have win 7 preinstalled in it. In win 7, the wired broadban connection (Airtel connection) is working fine and have no issues.
I have been using mobile GPRS(BSNL, Ltd) through bluetooth, and that have been working fine. But today when I tried to connect through landline connection, it didn't workout. But the bluetooth connection is still fine. When I tried to do the connection manually through Network Manager, it is not taking the MAC Address. Till now, after installation, I have not updated my OS.
I surfed the net and tried some commands, whose results I am posting below.
From a post I found out, that I should change my duplex settings (from 100 full to 10 full), but I could not get much. The corresponding commands and output,
I have posted below:

I have set WAN to 'bridged' mode for my D-Link DSL-G604T so that individual devices can connect directly to the internet.
A problem I now face is not being able to connect a computer running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to the internet via DSL.
The computer connects to the D-Link DSL-G604T router via wireless network connection - which is established, but I am unable to connect to DSL and I don't know why. The DSL connection doesn't even list under the network icon at the top right.

I've got an Expect script that establishes a ssh connection to the iLO interface of a server. Problem is it drops me back to the local terminal and I can't enter commands to be executed on the remote host. How do I get it so it logs me into the server then leaves me connected to it?
Code:
expect -f - <<-expect_script_end
spawn ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $user@$host
match_max 100000
expect "*?assword:*"
send -- "$pass
"
send -- "
"
expect eof
expect_script_end
The ssh server running on the iLO interface appears to be sending eof's which is causing expect to exit. How can I get it to ignore them?

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 ?

My lan connection to my router isn't working i have it plugged in the cable is good ( fyi i do have some computer knowledge) So my wireless is working right when i booted up but my lan is not. i have a @#$^ i am afraid to say what it is lol dell with their integrated ethernet card. OS: ubuntu 10.04 everything works fine but the wired connection.
Dlink router with all of the settings made properly. i read somewhere about doing a whole bunch of stuff but i thought that since this was a higher version they would have that problem fixed. i also have aim or msn whichever is more preferred. i hopefully will be notified that someone has responded to this thread.

I am having problems connecting to my new router. It just does not appear in the list of connections under Network Manager. It is not a problem with my laptop's wireless adapter as I can connect to another wireless router. It is also not a problem with the router itself - my Nintendo Wii can pick it up over Wi-Fi and use it and that is further away from the router. It also works if I ethernet it straight into the laptop.The router was provided by Sky Broadband and is a D-Link, pretty standard type of ADSL router with four ethernet ports, wireless and telephone cable socket. I am using the default settings for the SSID and network key, as well as the encryption type (WPA).Ubuntu version = 10.04. The wireless adapter is a very standard issue onboard Intel device but as I say, I can connect to my old Belkin wireless router no problem.

i recently had to switch routers because my old one didnt work anymore. i have a dual boot machine with win7 for games and natty narwhal (64-bit) for everything else. i'm quite new to ubuntu, i know how to navigate the menu, change settings, install things, just the basic stuff. i dont know how to use the terminal yet except some basic commands for installing and updating software.
after my router swap, my connection for windows was back, although i had to pull out the network cable and plug it back in for this to happen. unfortunately my connection in ubuntu is still gone. i see the connection in network manager, but i cant access the internet through it. i tried setting up a new one with the same settings, to no avail. i connect to the internet directly through my router. i tried finding some documentation for it but havent had luck with that. is there some way to reset the connection? or let ubuntu set up a new one like when i'm doing a fresh install? i think that ubnuntu still thinks i'm using the old router and that this is the cause for the connection fail.

I'm still kind of a linux newb, so I might just be missing a little bit of knowledge here, but I've been having some real problems getting my machine to connect to my wireless network under Ubuntu 9.04.
Here are my basic specs:
Intel Pentium™ 4 CPU @2.66 GHz
1.5 GB RAM
3 HDDs: 1 40GB Maxtor internal, 1 320GB WD internal, 1 160GB Maxtor USB external.
OSes: Windows XP Home Edition (on Maxtor internal drive) Ubuntu 9.04 (on WD internal drive)
I don't think my video card would make any difference, so I won't list it on here...
Anyway, what happens is I try to connect (I select the network SSID from the pull-down list in the NetworkManager panel menu), and it seems to connect okay to the router, but I can't get out to the net. I can pull up a terminal and ping the router's address, but I get a "Destination Host Unreachable" message. It's as if, to the computer, the router isn't even there on that level, but it can still somehow connect to it.
Now, here's the strange part. If I reset the router from another (Windows) computer on the network (specifically, the one with a wired connection to it), then I can connect just fine and I can get out to the internet.
Even if you don't know specifically, but have some good ideas as to what might work, that's fine too. I hate having to do this every day, as it affects everyone's internet connection. Granted, it's not like I'm in a strict business situation with tons of machines and multiple access points, but there are 3 of us in the house and we all share internet access from the same router (as I'm sure most people do), and I feel kind of guilty having to interrupt everyone's connection, if even only for about 30 seconds just so I can get a net connection under Linux.
Windows connects to the router/internet just fine, btw. No problems there. I'm also using a NetGear WN111 USB wireless adapter, with the Windows drivers under ndiswrapper.

Working in CentOS. Want to have drag-and-drop SCP access to another system.
Opened up the file manager (nautilus) and went under File -> "Connect to Server". Filed in the information, hit connect. The connection will sit forever and will never properly establish. It creates an icon on my desktop, but noting else.
If I go into terminal, su to root, open nautilus and then repeat the process as a root user, then it works successfully. Connection established after I trust the remote host. File transfer works fine.
what is occurring when I attempt to connect as my normal user?
