Ubuntu Networking :: Access A Server Behind A Router But Be Asked For A Password?

Jun 30, 2011

Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I have an intranet server behind a NAT router. Very standard linksys router home setup. The server has a static IP. I used port forwarding in the router to use SSH and log into the server remotely - it works OK.

I want no one outside my home network to access any webpages on the server unless they're authenticated.. I know I could port forward like with ssh but with http port 80 and then see webpages , but again this would open it up to anyone with my cable modem's IP - wouldn't it?

I need a secure way like SSH that requires a password before anyone could access port 80 and http from the server from a remote network.

How do I do this? And on the local network people can get served pages normally as usual. Just remote would need authentication. Must be commonly done(?)

Ubuntu Networking :: What Could Do To Reset Password Or Gain Access To Router?

Jan 14, 2011

I have a friend that recently moved to Linux. She had started out with Ubutnu 9.04, which was giving her a lot of Issues along with being no longer supported, so I recommend Linux Mint 10 to her, since she wanted something closer to Windows. I instructed her on how to do a clean install. Linux Mint installed ok, but when she was about to set up wireless to get on the Internet, she realised that she had forgotten her password. She called her network (Belkin) for assistance to retrieve it. She was told that Linux is not really supported; however they gave her this address to access the router: 192.186.2.1 from her browser which did not work. So there was nothing further they could have done since she couldn't gain access to the router. She is currently only able to use Ethernet connection to get online.

What could she do to reset her password or gain access to the router? I didn't want to tell her to reset the modem in case it will leave her with no internet and no way to setup her router.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Not Working Despite Icon Showing 100% - Asked For Keyring Password Twice

Dec 15, 2010

Until this morning, my Wireless had always been working fine. This morning I rebooted after an Ubuntu update and now:

- I am asked twice for "enter password for keyring 'default' to unlock" whereas before I was always just asked once.

- The connection seems to be established, with the icon showing good reception and the tooltip reads "Wireless network connection 'mywifi' active: mywifi (100%)

BUT I can not connect to any website or ping the machines of my network, even by IP address. All of the other computers around (Mac, Windows) can use the Wireless as usual. My Wireless is WPA-PSK TKIP hidden SSID. My Ubuntu is 10.10 Maverick.

Slackware :: Screensaver Password Not Being Asked For

Jul 19, 2009

Slackware64, 13.1, Xfce: Sreensaver is configured to Lock Screen After 5 minutes. This works fine. My problem is that 90% of the time, when I go to wake the screensaver, it won't ask for a password and won't come out of screensaver. The only reliable method I have for getting the password prompt is to switch to a console and then switch back to the X session. Then, the screen saver doesn't display, it just asks for a password.

If I move the mouse when the screensaver is active, the screensaver animation freezes for ~20s and then resumes. If I touch a key (Esc, Shift, space, Enter), the animation freezes for ~30s and then resumes. I never see the Enter Password dialog. Screensaver is configured for Random. I haven't reliably gotten it to work often enough to offer any info as to when it works, but it has worked a couple of times. Keyboard and mouse are configured properly (HAL reports "Logitech Logitech USB Keyboard" for my Logitech Elite keyboard and X uses xkbrules evdev; the mouse is an MX Laser, identified as "Macintosh mouse button emulation").

There where some updates for 10.04.1 yesterday, after I installed them, a few hours later I restarted my machine as new headers and kernel files where downloaded.So this morning, when I come in, I wanted to check my software sources as I saw something a little odd yesterday.When I try to start that program; I am asked for my administrator password. Not the password I use for administrative tasks; which is what I am generally asked for.Anyone else seeing this? And if so, what happened. The admin account I have setup is My account, I am the only person on the machine. In the past I have entered my password and carried on; not this morning. Not sure what is happening; but I have not setup an actual admin account / password.

Ubuntu Security :: Keyring Password - Why And How To Stop Being Asked For It?

Sep 28, 2010

When I installed Ubuntu (Lucid) on my new computer, As well as the login password I was asked for a keyring password. I gave one, but I am not sure exactly why I need this password. It seems that it was required to let me access the wifi - even though this has its own security code. I found I could stop the system asking for it every time I tried to connect to the internet using wifi by checking a button in the network setup, but when I registered for Ubuntu One, I was again asked for it - twice, once when I registered and again when I set up Tomboy notes sync. Now I get asked for it again every time I switch on.

I would like to know why the keyring passwords are needed in addition to the login password for a single user computer, which mine is and also how I can stop it asking for this password when I switch the computer on. One suggestion I have seen is to make the keyring password the same as my login password. If that is the case, then how do I change the keyring password?

I have quite a few things running, and walk away from the laptop. When I return and wake up the computer, I have a period of between 10-15 seconds before a password prompt is shown. I would expect the password prompt to come up before I am able to type and do any system commands.

Ubuntu :: Keyboard Stops Working In Terminal When Asked For Password?

Mar 26, 2010

I am working on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with 9.10 installed and (thus far) working quite well. However, when I type in a command into Terminal (I was trying to install Amarok), the terminal asks for my password and the entire keyboard stops working. As in, I can hit any numerical or letter key, and nothing happens in the terminal but the blinking cursor. The specific command was "sudo apt-get install amarok", and then it asks for my password, and I'm not able to make an entry.

I've tried changing to a couple of the different Dell laptop keyboards in System>Preferences, but again, before typing the command into the terminal, everything is working fine (inside AND outside of the terminal). After the password prompt comes up and the keyboard stops working in terminal, all the character keys still work fine still outside of the terminal.

Ubuntu :: No Longer Asked For Password/keyring Prompt At Start-up?

Sep 1, 2010

Been having trouble connecting to the internet and i am no longer being asked for password/keyring prompt at start-up. Something the prompt comes up 5-15 minutes after start-up.

I even manually set 'password at login' but it doesn't even ask me for that?

ps: over here

i found something about Avahi potentially causing a conflict with network configuration - so i typed the following command and am now online at least:

sudo stop avahi-daemon

Ubuntu :: Stop Desktop Freezing When Asked For Password For Admin Tasks?

Jul 6, 2010

I often want to have mythtv running on one display while I continue with work on the main display, as I CAN chew gum and walk at the same time. When the task is administrative, such as running update manager, I am asked for my password so Ubuntu (10.04 amd64) can authenticate me as an administrator. Good, but I think I would like it not to freeze the desktop, including the mythtv, while it does so. Is there a good reason not to want that? If not, can it be done (avoid freeze when authenticating) and if so, how?

Networking :: Cannot Ping Wireless Router Or Access Router Settings - Wireless ?

Jun 9, 2010

I moved my server and network equipment, and now the wireless works but I cannot get my server online. I host a website, so this is kind of urgent.

I have a wireless router and can access the internet fine on my laptop. My server is wired & connected to the router. It sets up the networking properly.. ifconfig has an ip address, the default gateway is present. But I cannot ping google, or even the router. It says destination host unreachable.

So I go back to the laptop to check the router settings.. sometimes it likes to assign the server the wrong internal ip. But, I can't access the router settings either! The page (192.168.1.1) times out. Same with trying to ping the router. How can the laptop be online if it can't reach the router?

Oddly, ifconfig on my laptop reports an ip address starting with 99.233. It's always given me an internal address starting with 192.168. What's going on here? Is the router not allocating an internal ip? I use wicd to connect, if it's relevant.

We have a windows laptop that can only get a "local connection". Now it does sound like the router is forwarding directly to my laptop, instead of allocating internal ips.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Cannot Access Server Behind The Linksys Router Via Ssh

Apr 20, 2011

Server details:
OS: Linux RedHat
DHCP: Static IP set to 192.168.1.101
sshd_config: Enabled for port 22 for ssh
Connected through wire to the Linksys router

Router:
Type: Linksys BEFW11S4
Port forwarding enabled for port 22 to IP 192.168.1.101

Client:
Windows 7
Interface: PuTTy
Host: 192.168.1.101 on port 22 through SSH

This always gives an error "connection timed out". SSH directly on the local Linux works fine.. Seems basic but had been struggling over this for past 3 hours to no avail so thought of posting it to the experts.

Ubuntu Networking :: Use Router As Access Point?

Jul 7, 2010

I have a wireless network in my house through a Zyxel P-320W router, and I've noticing that the signal strength isn't very good in the basement. Now I have this old D-Link-624+ router lying around for a long time and I've been hoping to get it to work as an access point, that way I can move freely around the house without changing which router I'm connected to.

Ubuntu Networking :: Access SSH Machine Through Router?

Nov 15, 2010

I have two laptops with me here at school, one bigger one [home computer], and one smaller one [netbook]. I take the smaller one with me to class and when I'm out and about, however, I keep all of my things on the bigger one. I would really like to be able to set up some sort of SSH port forwarding for the bigger machine so that, when I'm out and I realize I left file X on my home machine, or I want to listen to a certain song, or whatever, I can just scp it to the netbook. The issue is, at my dorm, I'm stuck behind a firewall and can't just set up a SSH daemon and port forward through the router, I need a more clever solution. I do have a home server (not with me at school), which I commonly use for transferring files. Basically, I'm wondering if there is some way I can SSH into my server box, with reverse port forwarding so that, when I am out and about, I can just log into my server and copy files from my home computer for use on my netbook. I've tried a couple of solutions which come up from google "reverse ssh" but haven't been able to get them to work. A step by step guide to doing this would be great. Again, the setup is:

Home server [ssh-able]
Home Computer [behind firewall, can't ssh into at the moment]
Netbook []

Want to be able to SSH from Netbook to Home computer, probably using Home server.

Ubuntu Servers :: Getting Server Past A Router For Open Internet Access

Mar 14, 2010

I just finished setting up my small server, however I realized that no one can connect to it from the outside. The reason being is that my router is assigning internal ip's and dyndns is linked to that. I need port 80 for the Apache server, but if I have the router forward that port to my particular ip, won't it screw with everyone else's internet too?
