Ubuntu Networking :: Choose Gateway Before Using Web Browser?
Jun 19, 2010
This Ubuntu desktop has 3 network interfaces:LAN eth0: ip address 192.168.3.6 gateway 192.168.3.1VPN tun1: ip address 192.168.7.4 gateway 192.168.7.1VPN tun2: ip address 192.168.9.2 gateway 192.168.9.1For Chrome or Firefox, by default the 192.168.3.1 gateway is used.How do I change this such that:I can manually choose the 192.168.9.1 or 192.168.7.1 or 192.168.3.1 gateway.From the command line.Before running Firefox/Chrome.Without re-configuring any network interfaces.So that ONLY Firefox and Chrome browsers are affected

I'm using Icecat (aka Gnuzilla a Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 ) When I select "open containing folder" it prompts "Choose an application" rather than defaulting it to the system's file management system (which in this case is Nautilus from Gnome desktop system).
Ubuntu 10.10 is the system I'm using. Does anyone know how to fix this so it will function normally?

How do I choose a wireless network to connect to? The Ubuntu 8.10 help tells me to open NetworkManager, but the only thing I can find is 'Network Configuration' in System>Preferences. If I try to run NetworkManager in usr/sbin as a root, nothing happens whatsoever. nm-tool lists several available Access Points for my WiFi antenna.

I have three routers (linksys wrt54gl, ddwrt). I'm trying to use wds bridging, got two of them linked, but not the third. All three routers have the same SSID. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix.
My problem is I need to choose which of these my laptop connects to. Right now it connects to the one router which isn't playing nice with wds. I need it to connect to one of my other routers. I see the other signals using nm-tool, but they don't show in nm-applet. I created a connection in NetworkManager specifying the SSID + mac address of the correct router, but the tray applet doesn't show any options for connecting to manually configured networks, and I can't find any other useful app. I suppose I could rtfm for iwconfig et al, but Ubuntu ought to have an easier way.

I'm surfing along just fine when I select some link in my browser.The status line reports "... waiting for ..." and the browser seems to stall for a long time (minutes). Often, but not every time, I can select the STOP toolbar icon and reload the page. This time things work normally.
I have a similar but different malfunction running Evolution email connected to my hosted IMAP server. I select a message and see "... formatting ..." and then Evolution seems to stall for a long time (minutes). Rarely the stop-reload actions help reading email. Instead,all Evolution windows go dark grey and the entire desktop stalls.[Analysis -- It has the feel of a "network" issue provoking issues within Evolution itself rather than an Evolution-only malfunction.]
Watching the running system with 'htop' and similar, I do not see where some other application or service is sucking all of the available CPU time or such. [Analysis -- It has the feel that either the browser message or the email message were sent into limbo without reaching their intended destination. Stop-reload sends the bits to the right places and so I get results.]

I access the internet through a hotspot with the SSID "OzoneBE.net Open Access". Unfortunately this hotspot is massively overused, and on top of that the signal is weak. There are other hotspots with the same SSID nearby. They have weaker signals, but it's possible they may not be so heavily used, or that I might be able to find a line of sight to one of them, so I would at least like to try connecting to them.
Unfortunately KNetworkManager doesn't give you any way of choosing between these different access points and it automatically selects the most powerful signal, as far as I can tell. RutilT can distinguish between them, but when you try to connect to the one you want, it seems that KNetworkManager intervenes and chooses the alternative with the strongest signal again. However if I kill KNetworkManager, RutilT just won't connect to anything. It fails without explanation.
How can I get proper control over my network management so that I can connect to the hotspot of my choosing, regardless of whether it shares an SSID with another?

I am trying to get a Linux (Slackware 13.37) working in a Windows networking environment. The IT support for this organisation does not extend to Linux support, so I'm limited in what help I can get for this.
I'm trying to get to the point where I can get to the internet to download what I need on this Linux machine.
The situation is this (*fictitious addresses used) -My Linux machine uses a fixed IP address (10.100.150.21)
My Windows machine uses a DHCP assigned IP address (10.100.150.213)Both Linux and Windows machine are configured to access the gateway server (10.100.150.1)So, I can ping the Linux machine from the Windows machine and vice-versa.I can ping the gateway machine from the Windows machine.I can browse Windows Shares on the network via SMB from the Linux machine.I CANNOT ping the gateway machine from the Linux machine with the Destination Host Unreachable message being the error message.
For actual internet access I need to access a proxy server but since the Linux machine can't even ping the gateway server, it fails to ping the proxy.Now, I have been told the gateway is a HW based router and for Windows machine they use some software for authentication to connect to the network. This software isn't available for Linux, so that's why I've been told to use a fixed IP address.My experience of networking is pretty basic and most of the Linux setup is done via running Slackware's setup program.

I have a gateway computer that I've been trying to fix up - whenever I try to install Windows XP/2000/Ubuntu, it finds a bunch of errors. I'd really like to get this computer working, it has a 300GB HD, TV inputs, USB ports out the wazoo, and all that other good stuff. Can someone help me with what to do or have a suggestion on what to replace?
I have formatted the hard drive (the Windows installation did it.) The windows installation is to the point where its copying the installation files to the disk, then it gives me an error that it can't find/can't copy the file. The Linux installation just gives me cryptic errors before it even does anything.
I just want to get it to a point where it's usable I really don't care what operating system.

FTP is not working through a gateway and I think I found that I need to modprobe ip_masq_ftp. However, when I do try to load ip_masq_ftp I get the error: FATAL: Module ip_masq_ftp.o not found.My question is: how do I get ip_masq_ftp?More questions: Do I have to build a new kernel? If I do need to build a new kernel do I just include the ip_masq_ftp module or are there other modules that I need?

What i need to do is setup a gateway with 2 red networks, reason being 1 is my internet connection and the other is my bDSL connection for our IP phone system and i need an IP range of traffic routed to the bDSL rather than internet, i can do this on individual PC's but id like to do it at the firewall level so i dont have to configure each machine on the network.
basically i want all traffic to go to internet except for say 203.x.x.x which i want routed to the bDSL router and let it handle it. Ive dome some reading and it seems ipcop and smoothwall cant do it so i was hoping with some tricky work maybe i can get ubuntu to do it for me.

I can ping my IP, and other PC in the same LAN, but I CANNOT ping the gateway on my 10.04LTS ubuntu. Other PC in the same LAN(Ubuntu 10.04LTS) could ping the gateway and my IP. I thought that (1)network cable is OK because I could ping the other PC in the same LAN.(2)Gateway is OK because other PC could ping it. (3)setting of operating system might be somehow wrong.
I have tried to restart the network several times and still not works. I followed the HOW-To debug tips and following is the results. Any suggestions?
1. ifconfig

I have installed ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty server from disk. I am connect to my corporate internet. I have put in my http_proxy everywhere I can find to put it. I am getting an ipaddress, gateway, broadcast,etc. My wired is connected. When I try to ping my default gateway it times out. %100 packet loss. I get the ipaddress of the gateway from the (route command).
My configurations on /etc/network/interfaces is correct(I am on another computer so I can't copy and paste) and I even tried updating the drivers for NIC card. I am using a Intel 82567LM-3. I have been working on this longer than I care to admit.

I live on a property with 3 other units and we all share a cable connection. There's a modem connected to a wireless router (I'll call it the "main" router), which until recently I connected to with an 80' or so long ethernet cable because I don't get a good signal, and all I've got is a desktop anyway. When plugged directly into the main router, I can get very fast download speeds - the fastest I've seen over bittorrent, for example, is about 2.2 Mb/s, and it's over 1 Mb/s most of the time for popular torrents or sites with good bandwidth. A friend with a laptop is staying with me for a month, so I wanted to set up a wireless router in my home, and my desktop needed to be moved to a location where running a wire is kind of awkward, so I planned on using the wireless too.
I don't have a spare proper router with an uplink port laying around, but I did have a spare DSL modem/wireless router combo (which I'll call the "secondary" router) that I used to use at a former residence, and I thought I'd try to use it here. I plugged it into my computer, configured its security settings how I wanted (64-bit WEP) and looked through for settings that seemed like they might pertain to using it in this capacity. I didn't really find any except for something that seemed to turn off its DHCP, which I did. Then I unplugged my computer and plugged in the ethernet cable that runs to the main router (which is a normal ethernet cable, not crossover). I found that this setup does "just work" for the most part - our computers see the signal and can log in and access the internet through the main router's cable connection. However:
1. I can't figure out how to access the secondary router's settings once it's been plugged into the main one, even if I unplug it from the main one. What happens is that as soon as I connect the two routers together, it's almost like the secondary ceases to exist independently until it's settings are purged via the reset button. I plug it's IP address into a browser like usual, and nothing happens (it's an Actiontec whose stock one is 192.168.0.1 and the main router is a Netgear with an IP of 192.168.1.1).
I can log into the main one like normal through a wireless connection to the secondary, though. If I look at "attached devices" in the main router's config, it lists all the client computers in the network, but there's no IP that could be for the router (I'm sure of this). Each computer connected through my secondary router gets assigned its own IP like normal, and port forwarding works without a hitch. Again, this persists until the secondary is reset - after the two routers are connected but until the secondary is reset, there doesn't to be a way into the secondary's config. The security settings are acting as they should, though (ie, you need the secondary's WEP key to log on).
2. Internet download speeds when connected to the secondary over wireless are extremely slow compared to what the connection is capable of (can't seem to top 90 Kb/s) but for some reason the max attainable internet upload speed seems to be about the same as normal (around 200 Kb/s). This is puzzling to me. Back when I was using the secondary router for it's intended purpose as a DSL gateway under XP, I downloaded at around 300 Kb/s all the time with it using the same wireless card I am now, so I know the hardware I have is capable of it. Now both of our wireless cards are getting the same mediocre speeds (seemingly bottlenecked at around 90 Kb/s), even with a full signal (ie, the computer right next to the router).
If we connect to the secondary router with a cable rather than wireless, there's no problem and downloads are really fast (note again though that the max upload speed doesn't seem affected whether wired or wireless, as determined by running internet speed tests in both configurations). Ping times over wireless are also extremely high - ie, 800ms+ even when pinging the main router at 192.168.1.1.
It almost seems like there's something inferior or bottlenecked about the wireless signal the secondary router puts out, but I don't know what that could be or how to change it. (I also don't really understand anything about the setup I created here though, other than that I plugged it in and crossed my fingers and it works for basic, non-bandwidth-intense tasks). basically I'm curious whether there's a way to have normal access to the secondary router's settings in this setup, and whether there's a way to make the bandwidth over wireless less mediocre.

Whenever i used to setup a new connection in Windows it would just ask me User name and password here i need to fill up something called as "Gateway" !? The connection won't be accepted unless i fill up something in there... So, what do i put in there? I'm on a LAN of 3 computers connected with a router.The router takes one wire as input from the modem(cable).

I have Ubuntu 10.4. My computer is connected to AT&T U-verse on a 2Wire brand Residential Gateway. The RG has the actual IP address. It's assigned my computer the address 192.168.1.66. I want to run the apache server to share files between my two computers across town. My other one is directly connected to the internet with a DSL modem so it's IP is static and was easy to set up and get going. What I want to know is what do I type to access my apache server on my RG? Galactic newbie here.

This might well be user error, but I can't get my dual homed server to gateway.
There are two NICs code...
It was working, until I was messing around with the patch cables and managed to get them swapped over. I've corrected them now but it no longer seems to pass packets between interfaces. I noticed because squid (transparently proxying) stopped working, other stuff on the box (postfix, dovecot, getmail, dnsmasq) is working fine, the internal NIC is visible from the internal network, the external NIC can access the 'net.
I've rebooted (more than once) but the problem persists, any network gurus spot anything obviously wrong?

I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 8.04 server to 10.04 server. My previous configuration had two network interfaces both routed to the same LAN with the same gateway. This functioned for me so as to support different services on each interface, such as http and smb on one, torrents on another. This routed fine in 8.04 (routing table below). Once I upgraded to 10.04, any packets that traveled beyond the LAN did not return. I checked and there is no local firewall running. Thinking that this was strange I set up a virtual machine and tested it in a different environment at work (and also with a virtual firewall configuration) with the same results.
I also tested several other current operating systems, including Debian 5.04 and Open Solaris 9, all of which routed two interfaces with the same gateway fine. I rolled back from 10.04 to 9.10 and the problem persists, so the change exits also between 8.04 and 9.10. at least identify what is unique to Unbuntu 9.10 and above that is preventing having two interfaces with the same gateway, something that other operating systems do not seem to have trouble with?

I am running 10.04 and am trying to add a route to a remote network using a gateway that is NOT on the local subnet. I am not messing with the default GW as all the other posts I can find are. I am using public IP addresses, but all of this is contained behind a firewall. I need to add a route to a private network (192.168.1.x) that is behind a router attached to a different subnet. The current routing table looks like this:
Code:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
xxx.xxx.108.48 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 1 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.108.49 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The remote network is 192.168.1.0/24 and it is reachable via xxx.xxx.37.203. I can ping the gateway no problem. However when I try to add a route to this network I get an error.
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw xxx.xxx.37.203
SIOCADDRT: No such process
I assume this is because the GW is not on the local subnet. When I try this on a machine that is connected to the xxx.xxx.37 network, everything works fine and I can reach the remote network. I even tried adding a static route to the gateway, but that did not help.
route add -host xxx.xxx.37.203 gw xxx.xxx.108.49
