i m setting up a linux server and i have to setup ip , in static mode. so i know everything except those two things. how do i calculate them?
example ip:200.49.142.91
submask 255.255.255.248
gateway 200.49.142.89
How do I calculate broadcast adrress if the address space is 192.168.36.16/28 then what would be broadcast address.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am basically from system side and often confused about the calculation of the IP addresses.Just i want to know that what how can i calculate the following of a IP Address:
(1) Available IP in a Network
(2) Broadcast IP
(3) Network Prefix or Net Mask
I wrote a script which sends the server,files from /proc/ like dev,netstat,loadavg etc of a client. i want to calculate the network load and the overall cpu performance of the client using the information from the files.I donot know how to calculate that as i have too many values in those. which values will be useful and how to calculate?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just installed FC12 on my machine - and gone Windows free for the first time ever. Now I do use various flavours of Linux on a daily basis but not from an installation/sys admin point of view so my questions here may seem a little basic but pleas eindulge me if you will!
Now, my network connection works perfectly well under the following scenarios.
1) FC12, wired to router
2) FC12, wireless, SSID broadcast enabled
3) Ubuntu (laptop), wireless, SSID broadcast DISABLED
The only scenario that does not work is FC12, wireless with SSID broadcast disabled.
I can only assume that it is an issue with my USB modem (a linksys WUSB54GS) since the same set-up works fine from my laptop running Ubuntu with an internal wireless card.
Now, I know from reading the forums that it's pretty easy to get around a disabled SSID broadcast but this is an itch I just have to scratch....what the hell is causing this problem?
nm-tool ouput is as follows:
I have tried using wpa_supplicant but I am not sure which driver I am using here - is it ndiswrapper per chance?
(Driver: rndis_wlan)
How I can connect once again to my wireless router with SSID broadcast turned off.
I setup the hostname for my linux machine to Linux. If I try ping Linux from the same computer it works. If I try from another computer inside my network the host can not be resolved. If I ping the IP from another computer it works.
I take a look in my router at DHCP client list and my linux machine doesn't have the Hostname set up.
How to broadcast the hostname to the entire network?
Friends i have an idea to broadcast few local TV channels to the world via internet.But friends i can't directly broadcast from my country because of bandwidth.friends is there a way to do this through a remote server server? i just need to input my stream to a remote server and then broadcast it from the server.I can stream channels to the server from my country through a 10mbbs connection.

I have the drives installed and it seams to be working when i run the 'Additional Drives', but I can't get the wireless adapter broadcasting. I followed the instructions given in the knowledge base on installing Broadcom Wireless, to see if I could get it running and that is where I saw the difference between the example and my computer when writing the 'sudo lshw -C network' command. In the example it said it was broadcasting under configuration (just like my wired networks below) and in mine it does not (see below for copy past).
I can't find a tickbox in the systemtray to enable the wirless networking that I had before the update to 11.04 (the 'Enable Networking' tickbox is still there and the wired network works fine - that is how I got online to do this post). I have the hardware switch turned on and I have been in the BIOS and made sure that the Wireless is enabled.Anyone who knows what could be wrong? Where could I go from here?Quote:

I'm looking for a solution to broadcast messages on the network. All systems are Linux / Ubuntu.
It would be used in case the server has to be rebooted. It saves me a walk to every office in the building.
This is not a linux specific question more of a general network issue with the hope that someone may have already done this under linux.My problem:I have a red hat linux machine transmitting IP multicast packets onto an ethernet gigabit network (cisco switch).Wireshark (running on a different red hat linux box confirms packets on network.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using F15 with two nics, each on different subnets 192.168.1.0/25 and 192.168.1.128/25. My issue is that on boot my 192.168.1.2/25 interface sets a broadcast address of 192.168.1.255 which is incorrect I believe. Its broadcast should be 192.168.1.127. I've tried setting the broadcast param in ifcfg-p3p1 file "BROADCAST=192.168.1.127" with no benefit.I can change this after boot of course, but that removes my default gateway for some reason.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I just changed my network card settings recently, and I'm now getting no response when I ping the broadcast address for them... the cards are all connected through a switch with IP addresses 192.168.0.x, broadcast 192.168.0.255... ifconfig on all of them shows UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST, but nobody responds to a broadcast packet. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Pinging each machine individually works fine.
When setting up an alias for eth0, the interface works as expected for normal traffic, but does not receive broadcast traffic.
Host 1's setup:
Code:
Pinging host 1's normal interface from host 2 works as expected:
Code:
Pinging host 1's alias interface from host 2 works as expected:
Code:
Broadcast pinging from host 2 only gets a reply from host 1's real interface (as well as some other uninteresting devices on the network):
Code:
I have confirmed by listening on both interfaces using netcat, and broadcasting using netcat, and again only the real interface receives data.
Is this by design, or is it possible to get interface aliases to receive broadcast traffic?

I am on a 172.16.x.x network with about 60 Windows XP home and Vista home clients in a peer-to-peer workgroup that uses DHCP to assign addresses. About half the traffic on my LAN is netbios broadcast. I do not want to do a WINS server because I do not want to have to manually change the registry on every machine. This is only for local name resolution and I do not have any web servers or e-mail servers. I do not have access to a Windows server to use as a DNS server. I am on Debian and using BIND but am open to other suggestions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got openSUSE 11.3 running via liveUSB on a netbook and no matter how many times I try, I cannot get wireless to connect to my network.
My network is:
- non-broadcast
- WPA2 Personal
- G
The netbook is fairly recent from Asus and wireless works perfectly with Fedora 11 and Windows XP.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with Ubuntu or with my router(s).
When I first installed Ubuntu about 6 months ago, I was able to connect to my wireless network without any problems. Becaue it's a laptop, I turn it off when I'm not using it.
But, starting about a month ago, if I don't use my Ubuntu computer for a few days at a time, it won't "see" my broadcast SSID when I turn it on. The SSID for my network just doesn't show up on the list of SSIDs that it detects in the area (but it still detects other people's SSIDs).
If I connect Ubuntu to my wireless network every day, it will automatically connect to my network without a problem, but if I don't use my computer for a few days, then it stops being able to "see" my SSID.
In order to connect, I have to connect to my router from my hardwired Win 7 desktop PC via 192.168.1.1 and re-save the wireless settings without changing them (the router is set to broadcast my SSID). Then my Linux machine is able to see my SSID again and connect wirelessly.
The problem is obviously with the router, right? So I bought a new router, and have the exact same problem!So now I'm not sure any more if the problem is with Linux or with both routers.
I was recently "playing" with ping in order to measure some RTT both in unicast and broadcast cases but ran into something that left me like O.o wtf! Here is the output of a ping to a private host in my LAN, a normal unicast case:
Code:
64 bytes from 192.168.2.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.617 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.27 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.3: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.595 ms
[code]...
And here is the sudo ping -b 255.255.255.255 with the answers of the same host as in the unicast case:
Code:
64 bytes from 192.168.2.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.87 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=66.5 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.3: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=88.9 ms
[code]...
Is there a different process that ping uses to calculate RTTs in the case of a broadcast. As far as i know the RTTs to a host should be more or less equal either in unicast or broadcast case.
I can't upgrade. I get:
Quote:
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: The package 'skype-common' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later.
I tried again several times in different days and it is the same. I have 10.4 recently updated from my original installation of 9.10. I think it was not a pre-release, I did it automatically from the website and it took a long time. As far as I know, all I have installed is official, except perhaps Skype itself. There seems to be something connected with Skype. But I have exactly the same Skype I had with 9.10, where I updated every few days with no trouble. It is something peculiar in 10.4
