Ubuntu Networking :: Weird Network Is Not Working Properly
Apr 18, 2010
I have just recently installed Ubuntu karmic on one of my machines. The network worked perfectly until today, when it just wont connect. I have double checked that the SSID and Password are correct. It is a WPA network. I am sure it is a problem with my computer, not the network, because my brother's laptop (which I am using right now) has ubuntu 9.10 installed on it and the network is working perfectly.
I use Ubuntu 10.04. Last night, I installed the most recent updates for this istribution, and before I shut off my laptop, my internet was working smoothly. However, today my Internet connection is behaving very strange. When I try to connect to the internet, my browser times out or cannot establish a connection. I'm able to connect to low-input sites like Google search, but I cannot connect to sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, or even the Ubuntu forums (I'm currently using a friend's laptop to post this). Pidgin and Skype work without a problem, as well as Transmission. I primarily use Firefox, but I also tried Chrome, Opera, and Epiphany; none of them worked. Oddly enough, my update manager also cannot connect to the Internet to retrieve updates.
I have restarted my router, but it still works properly, as it is running fine on my friend's laptop. I have tried 'no proxy' in Firefox, but it did not help. I also disabled IPv6 in etc/sysctl.conf by adding the code:
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, coming from 10.04 and the wired network connection sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. Right now I manually removed current network from System-->Preferences--> network connections, define a new one, and reboot. This usually fixes, although I've had to do this two times in the past.
Other general info Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, EVGA P55 motherboard, on board either net.
i got everything working on my laptop, i just can't set up my network sharing..
I have a desktop pc running Windows 7, and this laptop running openSuse 11.1!
I use Gnome by the way... When i get to Network in Nautilus, i double click on Windows Network -> Workgroup -> Windows7PC, but at that point i don't see any folders or anything..
This is my smb.conf file:
Code: # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the # samba-doc package is installed. # Date: 2008-12-03
[Code].....
In firewall i added Samba in broadcast, followed some tutorial on the net..
On fresh install of 11.4 everything worked fine, but after some updates networkmanager stopped working properly on my netbook (intel atom n270 based).When I log in, network manager shows that networking is disabled and I can't connect. Checking/unchecking the checkbox does nothing. All settings in Yast are OK.To make it work, run "/etc/init.d/network restart" and then plug in the wire OR (in case of wireless connection) I restart network from console, unchecck and check the checkbox in networkmanager and only then it starts to work as it should.
Alright I just installed Linux as the only and got it all set up but now I have a problem with firefox or actually any browser. As far as I understand my internet works fine, I was able to download updates from the software center and various programs too. My problem is that when I try to go to any other website than google the browser just freezes up. The bar in the left bottom corner just says "Waiting for <site name>" Strangely google and google mail works. Ive tried going through all of the network settings but I am at a loss now
Moving back to 10.04, I've been trying for DAYS to get my wifi working properly. I've been scouring the boards trying everything under the sun,including attempting to install a new kernal, also a complete wipe/reinstall. I hope I have better luck with 10.04 or I'm ringing the bell on Ubuntu all together.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 tryed 11.04 but didn't work, but in both my internet connection was a lot slower than it is on windows. I can connect to the wifi but i get 1/10 of the speed that i usually do and it keeps losing the connection. I'm using a MSI computer with a "802.11bgn 1T1R mini Card Wireless Adapter"
It's been a few hours since the Adobe Flash plugin on my Firefox is behaving in a strange way: some of the clickable dialogs do not work anymore. I click on them but nothing happens.
For example: in chatroulette, the dialog that asks for the permission to use the webcam can't be clicked:
Same happens for other flash sites. I'm using Firefox "Namoroka" v3.6.5pre and Flash 10.0r45
Ok so I've been all over Google trying to find an answer as to why my MPD server won't properly output over httpd. When I try to connect to it from any source, it gives me a "404:Entity Not Found" error. There hasn't been any useful info out there to solve this problem. Help please! Attached is my mpd.conf file. All my permissions and firewalls are set up properly AFAIK.
I have a dual boot (XP Pro and F13) laptop. This laptop has a Ralink RT2501USB Wireless Adapter which works perfectly fine on XP. But when it comes to F13, adapter only works properly when I am physically next to my router. When I move few feet away the strength of the connection drops from 100% to around 40%. But even though 40% should be okay for slow connection to internet, I can't get any internet access at all. I have tried three different routers with same results on each.
When I boot same machine with windows XP, all works fine. I can move to any part of my house and I will still have the connection without any issues.I can see that RT73 driver is installed if I check in add remove program under system.I am not an expert but to me its seems that the drivers on F13 for RT2501USB are not as good as on windows?
I am using 2 VPS machines on VMware workstation.The older one is Debian 5.0 ( Lenny ) and I have successfully installed Static IP to networking and it works fineithout any problems.I just installed another Debian 5.0.6 ( Latest ) Lenny and installed another static IP. It's partially working and partially not. When I ping the server, the ping is successful but if I try to SSH, it says Connection refused and even if I tro use the net through the machine, it doesn't work and host name lookups fail. What could be the issue
I have a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad T402i. A very good and expensive machine, however I have just installed the latest Fedora 15 and my wiresless does not seem to work properly, I can barely ping a website. I have read it's an Intel's bug. I cannot understand how can be possible with Intel...
So I just turned my computer on and it was beeping rapidly, and it would stop if I hit "Enter". Also this came on my screen: Cannot set Fray", something like that. It boots fine..just what is that?
I had an Ubuntu Server 32 bit installation and everything was working fine. Now that I installed Ubuntu Server 64bit on a new drive in the same machine, the ethernet card is not working!! This is insane cause when I put the hard disk with the 32bit installation back and booting from it, the ethernet card is working without any problems but in the 64bits installation it is not shown at all using "ifconfig -a"
I am asking in the wrong place or anything like that, I tried to understand the Tutorials, but I am only human Oh and I am not a native speaker of English, So I also apologize for that...Okay enough apologizing, I will assume that you are all nice people and wouldn't have made fun of my stupidity anywayAs I said I am new to Linux and also to my PC. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I tried to install Windows on it, but it was displayed in only 16 colors ( I assume this is not connected to my current problem but it might be...) and I couldn't fix that so I installed Ubuntu 10.4.something( It asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the newest version...) . Since then I have been really happy, I only had minor problem with the chat software but after I googled it I found a solution and I even used the console for the first time in my life.
The problem with the chat software is back now, but I don't care about that.My Computer randomly stops working and the screen goes all weird. It switches between a mix of white and black bars, something really colorful and a black screen with text ( I have the feeling it's different text every time) I am not sure what happens after that, because I always turn it off and restart it. It won't react to anything when it is in this weird mode. I don't think there are any special situations in which it happens and I can't reproduce it, it just happens when I don't want it to happen. A friend who uses Linux said it might be a temperature problem, he only knew what I just told you. I am not sure if there is a connection between the time the computer has been on and the time it shuts off...I really like Linux and I would love to use it without ith when I said that I got my PC new ( it was used though) I was trying to say that I don't know whether this is a Ubuntu problem or not
I had a problem with apache2 and getting .htaccess working. I have done some things and i believe its working the ErrorDocument command is anyway.

I have a Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 network card on my server at work.Everything works fine for a few weeks, then randomly the network connection on the server will stop working. After it stops working, I will try to reconnect with the network manager, it shows a wired connection available, it shows the "connection in progress"animation, then the "connection disabled" icon.
I uninstalled the network manager and used manual configuration, but do you think the network manager was the issue? I can't have the server disconnecting randomly every few weeks with no way to know what the real problem is. Was there an issue with the network manager with 10.04?
I have an Ubuntu 10.04. It connects perfectly with a Netgear wireless to the internet at my work place. But i cant connect it to my home Netgear network. It connects to the router. Receives IP address. But no internet. But I'm able to connect to internet using ethernet. I'm also able to connect to internet wireless in my Windows.
Sometimes my file share network stops working,and will then work again.I'm lost with this problem. The server pc is a Zenwalk pc.The other pc is a win7 pc. This error only occurs on Zenwalk. When i run puppy from the live cd the file shares are always visible,without fail.Under puppy i use pNethood. When the ping command is used there is no problem, and the pc name can be pinged.This is shown below:
OK so I set up a server yesterday and got ndiswrapper loaded on it with the appropriate driver, I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file to contact my router with it's MAC address, WEP Key, etc... So the problem is I can ping addresses like Google and Ubuntu Forums but I can't use apt-get to install or update packages. When I try sudo apt-get update I get a whole bunch of Code: W: Failed to fetch <address>Temporary Failure resolving <address>My Wireless interface is wlan0 and also I can ping my server from my other computer running Linux and my server can ping that computer too.
Recently after upgrading my kernel (via /repositories/Base:/Kernel/standard) I have had issues with the network not starting properly on bootup. The kernel is 100% SUSE-patched and behaves perfectly outside of that one issue. To get the network to "start" (DHCP issued, eth0 brought up) I have to 'rcnetwork start' in a shell. I've checked to make sure my config is right in both ifcfg-eth0 and 'config' for /etc/sysconfig/network, but nothing affects the outcome.
How do I get the boot scripts to bring up eth0 and issue a DHCP on startup?
Here's the output of 'rcnetwork start -o debug fake':
We have a nameserver which we moved over from an old server & ip a couple of weeks ago and updated all our dns records.Currently, our dns provider shows the proper records for our server, and if we dig the server at our dns provider we get the results. However, if we ping the server, or dig it and don't specify our server we get the old ip address.An opendns cache check also sporadically returns the proper results from some of its locations but generally returns the old ip address. Does anyone have any suggestions because this bewildering me.
Does anyone know why vi text editor would not work. I'm running Ubuntu server with SIP service and apache and when i try to edit config files with vi it gets messy.On the bottom of the screen it would not indicate if I'm in backup mode or not. I won't same changes, and it messes up the layout when you use arrow keys to move between the lines. Also sometimes when I use arrow keys it will insert capital A, B, C or D.
I have a Lenovo W500 ThinkPad. It is running XP on first partition, then Ubuntu. I've tried both 10.10, 11.04 beta 2, and now 11.04 release.With the release I just installed, it seemed OK till reboot-after-install, at which point nothing came up. I rebooted several times and just got errors and kernel panics in the ATI video driver. I also saw a lot of these messages:"udevd[80]: worker [XXX] did not accept message -1 (Connection refused), kill it" URL...
I had download updates on, I'm trying again with a clean install without updates. (Although, I said don't download while installing, and it says it is downloading language packs...?)Now, I also had issues with 10.10, where it would intermittently boot and fail to get video, I'd just be at a tty, and have to reboot and try again. I found it usually got video if I had just booted Windows (XP Pro SP3) beforehand, and not otherwise So what's going on there? Something up with the actual video card? I want to run Gnome anyways, is there a way I can specify that during the install?At any rate, if I can't get 11.04 working properly, I'll have to run 10.10, which I didn't want to do. I'm starting from scratch and wish to start from 11.04 if at all possible.
So yesterday I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 and now when I enter Ubuntu only my background image appears. No files, programs, or anything. It worked right after it rebooted to finish the upgrade but when I turned my computer on this morning I got nothing but background.
I'm clearly missing something small. My Ubuntu machine can see the XP machines in the WORKGROUP, pull files over and even print to the printer attached to one of them. Internet sharing also works. However, the XP machines cannot find the Ubuntu system.
