I'm on an Acer Aspire One.Clean install of 9.10.I was using 9.10 and my wireless was working fine.Then for no reason it would not connect.So I decided to reboot my router and reinstall ubuntu.Still does not work.I have figured out that it seems to be WPA encryption that is at fault.When I turn it off on my Linksys the netbook connects fine, turn it back on and nada.
if i try to use a static address then the laptop seems to connect but I cannot ping the router or get to the internet.If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful, I would rather use WPA than WEP.My iphone connects and this netbook connects with Windows, so I know the linksys is not at fault.
enable WPA encryption on my wireless connection? Wireless networks are detected and listed, so the wireless card is functional in the most basic sense, however, when going to connect to any particular network,I am not given the option of entering a WPA passphrase, only WEP, and as my router is set to use WPA, this is a problem.I am trying to get this going on a fresh Karmic install on a Toshiba A15-S157 notebook.Thus far, I have found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/315489 which would seem to relate to my problem.I looked in my logs and saw this entry: Jan 10 16:06:35 cody-laptop firmware.sh[863]: Cannot find firmware file 'agere_sta_fw.bin', and have since found that file, and have downloaded it to my desktop. It seems like this may be the solution, but how to exact it, therein lies my (momentary) problem.
Using sudo iwlist scan, i will get a list of surrounding AP(s) around my laptop, is there a way to interpret the sudo iwlist scan results so that we can know what encryption type is the wireless network using?
A while back I posted [URL] a question about Ubuntu 9.10 not recognizing my WEP encryption key. The problem that I had is still essentially the same: After upgrading to 9.10 beta, then trying to upgrade using the alternate install disc for the full version (because of the same problem) I ended up having to do a completely new installation. Anyhow the problem still stands: my internet card works and it detects available wireless networks, the only thing is that after entering the key in, it will attempt to connect, then after a min or so, it will ask for the key again, ad infinitum. The upshot is that I can't connect to the internet at all. Right now I'm on Windows 7 RC.
The only thing that has changed is that I tried disabling encryption entirely, and Ubuntu was still not able to connect (I think the connection just timed out after a few minutes). I should add that I have Verizon FiOS, an Actiontec router, and my computer (since it is far away from the router) connects through a Hawking_300N extender. Right now I am using Windows 7 RC (which unfortunately expires in a little over a week), so I can access the internet through Windows, and check for any posts, but I can't immediately provide any command outputs, I'd have to restart, and that would take a few minutes. Further, I have tried both Network Manager and WICD, both of which produced the same results. I have not tried any WPA encryption mainly because the router is shared, and I don't to mess with everyone using the router unnecessarily.
Using a D-Link wireless router, trying to get it through the authentication process with the client through a D-Link DWA-125 USB wireless. When I set encryption to "none" on both ends, the router links up OK, but when I enter matching encryption settings on the router, and then in the driver data file (RT2870STA.dat) on the client side, I can't get it to authenticate. I've tried all possible combinations in the .dat file with no luck. I'm fairly well convinced that there is a bug in the .dat file settings, and that the wireless port setting need to be forced at startup through the /etc/networking/interfces file, or some such procedure, to override the settings in the .dat file.
My laptop able to detect wireless. I try to access it with a correct password. However, it keep prompts me the password is wrong. But I was able to connect the wireless using other PC with the same password. I am pretty sure the something wrong with the WEP encryption of the F15.
There is a strange thing going out there in my box, I've tested b43-fwcutter on wpa-psk encrypted network, and there was no problem connecting (my card is broadcom 4318), recently I was trying to connect to WEP encrypted network without success. Network connection tested on other laptops (Vista, XP machines)so there is no possibility that the key isn't valid.
I want to share my internet connexion via ad-hoc WiFi. If it's unsecured, it works fine, but when I use WPA encryption, it doesn't work anymore! I can connect from my iPod touch, but no internet. I connect to the internet from my laptop, via eth0 I want to share my internet connection via wlan0 I have no idea what's wrong
I use to have problems getting my wireless card to connect to any network on ubuntu. I discovered that I needed to change my encryption mode from Auto to AES or TKIP on my router. After I did this I was able to connect to my network with full wireless n support. I am using a d-link DIR-615 wireless n router.So far I know this works perfectly on 9.04-10.10 alpha.
I have xbmc, a media center shell that runs on ubuntu. I am trying to set up a laptop to run it and be a full time media center. so far it works great, I installed xbmc live, but the only issue is I have a wep2 protected wireless router and the wifi does not connect automatically.
I have it set up and am using wpa_supplicant once those commands are run the wifi works great.I am a novice in linux in general, and can not seem to get this to work on startup, can anyone point me in the right direction on this? I haven't been able to find the xbmc start up script if one exists, I figured adding those lines to it might work,does this sound like a reasonable approach? if anyone knows where that is and how it is defined to be launched on start-up i would appreciate it(I guess this is getting into the general Linux knowledge but still good info)
Running ubuntu 10.10 here, brand new install/machine.USB wireless based on a realtek chipset. I spent a few days trying ndiswrapper, and now have the native driver up and running. I can see the network(s) but can't connect. If I encrypt the network, i get a bad password error from wicd network manager (All encypt. methods- Weps, WPA etc) If I open my wireless up with no encryption, i receive a "can't obtain IP" error.

I recently downloaded and installed CentOS 5.3 DVD media.The media check passed. I proceed to install the operating system sucessfully. After installation, all my hardware is recognized, when compared to CentOS 5.2. Anyway, when I attempt to connect to my wireless network that uses either WEP/WPA/WPA2-- I get an error message that I cannot recall (it basically only came up when I entered the key) However, I can connect to my wireless network when it is unencrypted and no open/shared key is needed.I would like to be able to connect to my wireless network when
FYI: I am using a RealTek RTL8185 Wireless Driver.Also, I use CentOS as a workstation.
I am running Fedora 13 and using Ndiswrapper with my pci wireless card. my router is a netgear wgr614v9 wireless router with wpa2-psk. When I try to connect to my network the only options I see for security are dynamic WEP (802.1x) and WPA &WPA2 Enterprise and for authentication all I see is TLS LEAP Tunneled TLS and Protected EAP (PEAP). I can connect to my network when I drop security on the network but other wise I am stuck. I have been trying to fix it for about a week now by myself to no avail
I am trying to find someone that can perhaps assist me with the following.
I have installed my notebook with Ubuntu 10.0.4 and need to setup various VPN connections to clients.
After setting up the microsoft VPN connections according to the normal procedures, I try to connect to one of the clients to test connectivity, but the connection fails.
This happens for all the MS vpn's so far.
I had a look at the daemon.log file and found the following message which I can't seem to find a solution to:
<WARN> connection_state_changed(): Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active.
Is there anyone that could perhpas assist me with this as I am not able to work without VPN.
New ubuntu desktop user here. I've been working with Ubuntu servers for over 3 yrs, using Windows as clients. I have OpenVPN running on an ubuntu 10.04 server, and it has worked well with Windows OpenVPN clients connecting. I took those same settings and applied them to this new install of Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop, and now openvpn seems to be failing when we get to the routes (I wrestled with the network-manager "secrets" issue for hours, but that works now).
I performed the following: sudo openvpn --config fogbank-ny1.ovpn --all is well, we're connecting/yay then *screech* FAIL--

I am using the suggested openvpn routes. If I connect from Windows (actually the .ovpn file is taken directly from the working windows machine).. all is well, routes work fine all traffic is routed thru the VPN -- same way it's worked for over a yar. I assume that this is what is causing networkmanager to fail as well. those logs indicate that it has connected to the vpn, but is probably stopping when it gets to routes.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10. I was using iBall N 150M USB adapter for internet connection with Windows XP. Let me explain about the present Windows connection :
I am using an Outdoor CPE Wimax. For mobility purpose I have connected this wimax to one LAN port of ADSL+ WiFi router ( Beetel 450 TC1 ). This ADSL+wifi router reset to Factosy settings and enabled DHCP. With this setting , I am perfectly able to connect my laptop to Internet.
When I connect my USB adapter to Ubuntu , intially it detected the signal and asked for credentials. I gave the same and network established. But I am not able to browse the net. If I give [URL]..., its going to the ADSL+Wifi's diagnosis page. With Windows , [URL]... was going to the Wimax modem. After 2-3 trial and error , now Ubuntu also not able to connect to the wifi network.
On all of them any attempt to mount an nfs drive fails with:
Code:
This happens immediately - within a few tenths of a second at most. It happens whether I use mount -a(mounts are listed in the fstab file) or a full mount command. It happens on both 32-bit and 64-bit installs.
Nothing appears in the messages log file on either the server or the client machine.
It was working in Fedora 12.
Iptables and ip6tables are both disabled. nfsd is running.
Hosts.allow and hosts.deny both exist on the client, but are empty. They contain nothing but comment lines.
I can ping the server and run ssh shells to it. I can open Web pages in Firefox.
When trying to connect to a wireless AP, neither wicd or wifi-radar are able to obtain an IP. With wicd, a string of various hex/dec characters flow by, with an eventual error. This happens with both WEP and unencrypted APs (- the hex/dec). With wifi-radar it simply fails, but not every time. NetworkManager connects with zero problems every time; though I prefer to not use NetworkManager, so please spare me of such replies. Someone please tell me why there should be only one wireless manager in Ubuntu that works? I have used wicd since before gutsy gibbon, and it always worked fine until the last two versions, Lucid, and Karmic. What is occurring in Ubuntu which over time breaks these excellent applications? I have tried this with four different wireless cards, and all suffer either identical or similar issues. Those chipsets are Broadcom, two RealTeks, and an Intel.
I really wish to emphasize that this post is not a request for a lecture on why I should use only NetworkManager, or why I should go find another distro. With something like Linux, maybe we could push a little harder, and have maybe say, two, wireless managers that actually work? I would honestly like to see more than two, but one is not enough. It baffles me a bit why new versions of Ubuntu mangle some perfectly good applications, but not others. In IT, surely networking, IP4, WEP, basic wifi technology, etc. has not changed so much that every six months whole new programs should need to be written to connect to a wireless access point. Nor should old ones need much tweaking. What's going on? With such boastings of repositories abundant and brimming with free apps, why does anyone want to make NetworkManager the only app that works?
I am building an active directory and using BIND9 as my DNS. To allow for secure dynamic updates from the domain, I am enabling GSS-TSIG as detailed here and here. Unfortunately, some of the commands and configurations used here seem to be depreciated, at least in the newer versions that I'm using. My issue is one of keytab encryption. I generated a keytab using ktpass.exe on the Windows Server 2008 domain controller. I have tried DES/MD5, AES128/SHA1 and AES256/SHA1, each have been turned down by ktutil on the kerberos server (FreeBSD). Each time, it outputs the following error: ktutil: AES256/SHA1*: encryption type AES256/SHA1* not supported *Respective to encryption used.
I cannot find a list of suitable encryption schemes that ktutil will accept. The FreeBSD handbook details a means of producing a keytab file, but I'm not sure how to configure the Domain Controller to use the keytab.
is there a "debug" method for your wireless connection. My authentication for 2 laptops Dell d600 and IBM t42 both are unable to connectreless routers (2 different ones).Fedora 14 32bit Gnome NetworkManager
When I run the host command, it can resolve machines in one.domain.com using both hostname and ipaddress. But when I run the host command for machines in two.domain.com, it only works for hostnames but not ip addresses. The result for ip addresses is:
Host 100.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Why doesn't it try the 2nd nameserver in the resolv.conf file when resolving by ip adddress? Reverse pointers are configured for each machine in their respective domain dns servers. O/S is Oracle VM Server 2.2.1 (similar to Red Hat). Kernel is 2.6.18-128.2.1.4.37.el5xen.
I have 2 computer 1 with a ubuntu 10, one with windows 7. I can access the windows 7 computer from Ubuntu, and see all the documents. However I can't access \SAMBA24 which I assume is the Ubuntu. What do i have to do ? I'm a complete beginner at this.Windows 7 can't find networkpath, and Ubuntu says fail to retrieve sharelist from server.
