I can't seem to get my wifi connection going on my laptop. The wired connection works fine, and the wifi seems to detect networks, but upon trying to connect I get "Bad password". Network at this location uses WPA2.
Upon lspci | grp "Network" I get

I have a desktop PC running Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7, and a Eee PC 701 laptop running EasyPeasy Ubuntu 9.04. I'd like to connect the desktop to the laptop with a wired connection (eth0), then the laptop to my ADSL router using wireless (ath0).
I have a crossover ethernet cable (I bought on ebay). I have set up my laptop with a static IP address on my LAN and it uses OpenDNS.
I have added this to /etc/sysctl.conf on the laptop:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Then I tried this on the laptop:
sudo iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ath0 -j MASQUERADE
sudo iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
This is a variation on what I found on other sites describing how to set up a router. I don't understand iptables very well, but I gather that the above two lines should set up forwarding so that traffic from my router to the laptop will be forwarded to the desktop, and vice versa.
But this doesn't work. The connection doesn't even establish between the laptop and the desktop.
I am trying to setup a dhcp server for my internal network. I have two NICs, a modem, and a wireless router. I have my server connected directly to my modem which is providing me with Internet access on eth1 and is working fine. I have dhcp and dns setup on eth0 which is connected to my router. The router shows that it is connected to the Internet but when the router gives a client computer an IP address, the client is unable to connect to the Internet but can connect to the router. I will post my configuration files below with my current configuration.

My son lost his USB Wireless stick for his Computer. I had thought I heard that if you had a second wireless router, you could use it somehow to detect the wireless router you have already set up in your home (like using a wireless card)? Is this what Ad-Hoc is? Either way, can this be done and if so how? I use a WRT54Gx2 Lynksys router and have a TRENDNET TEW-432BRP wireless router and also a spare D-link DI-514. I use ubuntu 10.04, and also wanted to know if I connected one of the router to his on the LAn port could he connect msaybe through an Ad-Hoc on my local computer here? He uses XP on his. I'm a newbie to linux and networking in general.

Now the wifi connection was installed in Windows 6 months back with a password and but it got reset to default somehow. Now i want to set password again. Whenever i try to log in 192.168.1.1 in my browser, and Change the password and select Apply . Nothing happens to the page, as if it is static. No Submit Buttons work in this. Um a bit in mess ryt now as my wifi is vulnerable to any1 ryt now.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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(?)
My problem is little different then what I've seen here. I get the same message after inputting network name and password. I click connect and it just pops up again I don't get it. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 for Ppc (PS3) I get no internet connection what so ever just the same message. The message I get is " authentication required by wireless network " What do I need to do to connect wireless to my router with my PS3 using Ubuntu 8.10? It does connect with a Ethernet Wire. I am new with Linux.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a router with 2 IBM Thinkpads connected. One Thinkpad is running Ubuntu, and the other is running XP.
They connect to the router with no problems.
I installed Ubuntu on a Sharp Moebius laptop and plugged in the network cable.
NOTHING.
I have tried pinging the laptop; nothing.
I am not sure where the problem is, because my Thinkpads have no problems connecting to the router, with both Ubuntu and XP
my LAN just suddenly stopped working. we had a power outage, and it just stopped. it will still recognize the network, but it wont connect. i was experimenting with setting up a web server (trying to set it up on the standard distro). i know its not the network card (on board) because i can put in my pci card and it still wont connect. it will connect when in the live environment. i thought that maybe it had updated, so i tried to boot from a different (older) kernel. that still didn't help.
i stopped apache. i was experimenting with portforwarding at the time (i had everything else working on my server), but i could not get it to work. after this happened, i restored the original settings on my router. i had applied the settings only a day before the power outage. everything still works on another computer on the network (also running linux). (all computers run 9.10) its almost like my router won't assign me an ip address.
I have a new belkin N1 router which I tested in somebody else's flat. It worked fine. When I got home I reset it by pushing a paperclip in the hole for 10+ seconds to erase this flat's internet connection settings (username and password and stuff). After this I plugged it the computer and tried to connect to it (wired connection) using 192.168.2.1 (this is correct for that router, it is not 192.168.0.1). But the browser says it is offline and cannot connect. The lights of the router cycle, the "modem router" light blinks continuously and the others briefly come on and go off again, every few seconds. I tried resetting it again, several times, leaving it off for a few hours, leaving it on for a few hours, etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently just upgraded my operating system to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I can't seem to get my wireless card to connect to our new Verizon Actiontec router. I am using an Encore Electronics 802.11n Wireless USB Adapter (model: ENUWI-N), which had worked with an earlier version of Ubuntu and our old router. The adapter recognizes the SSID of the new router but will not connect with the correct WEP key or even with the encryption turned off. I have tried deleting the wireless profiles and manually re-creating them and still no dice. I have also gone to the website of the chipset manufacturer and found the latest drivers (RT2870USB(RT2870/RT2770)) for the adapter, which, according to the Synaptic Package Manager, I do not currently have installed.
Where do I go from here? Do I need to install the new drivers, and if so how do I do that?
I wanted to try Ubuntu again but have gone wayback to an old 8.10 disk because I couldn't get 10.10 to work. The install with 8.10 went fine but the internet will not connect. The network manager shows eth0 grayed out and when going in to manage the connection it says 'never'. I'm using Vista with a broadband modem connected to a netgear router.

Now sometimes it detects my wifi router and shows its ssid in nm-applet. but when I try to connect, it tries for 3 or 4 minutes and then fails. for most of time it even does not finds my router.
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 and am really happy. I want to sort the wireless conection out now. I have been through this forum for hours today and can't get it working. I have a Broadcom wireless card, which seems to be working fine, but I am not 100% convinced.I have attached the output of some of the commands that I have seen referred to on here.
I am using the wired connection on the same router, so the router connects fine.I click on the network icon and I see the skyNNNN router in the list. I have tried connecting to it and it asks me for my password, which I provide then nothing happens until it asks me again.I have removed the security from the router and I then see the same skyNNNN router without a
lock icon. I try to connect and it still fails.I am not using an access list on the router, so there is no issue with the mac address.
I have been using pppoe connect to Internet,now I want my notebook get on line,I bought a wireless router but Ubuntu(64-bite) can't connect to Internet through the wireless router.pppoeconf said that found eth0 and vboxnet0,but search concentrator failed and pppoeconf exited.How can I fix it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to connect to a new Belkin wireless router, but wicd refuses to connect. I've been reading some of the other threads but they haven't made much sense as the hardware is different.
The output from the iwconfig command is as follows:
When I ran lspci it told me I had a RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI Network Controller. On the box it says it "Supports the most popular systems" and mentions Linux. I'm using a 63 character WPA2 password, which has been copied from a USB key, so I know that is correct.
I am net to this whole Linux thing. I cant seem to connect to my Linksys router. Not sure if I have to call Linksys or what.Mine is a WRT54GS

Ok, so spec's on my setup: Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 530.. Q6600 w/3GB RAM, 500 GB HD w/radion 2600xt and broadcom wlan NIC. My issue is that the broadcom will not connect to my router. I did some searching, found a link from this site detailing how to get my NIC to work on Intrepid, but that's not what I have. I followed that guide anyway, substituting my driver for his (guide is on sampbar.com) and nothing. It's showing now as not ready. I've installed ndiswrapper and grabbed the drivers for my NIC from my Vista install, but when I use ndiswrapper to do that, I get an error saying it can't tell if the hardware is present, then shows me it is present and it still won't connect.

Don't know where to start.
