Dec 21, 2010
one is whats the best way to connect to my home pc from another pc out there in the world? be on a windows or linux machine and remote into my home pc. Im using ubuntu 10.10. the other question is, i got a big family who aren't computer savvy at all. Is there a way to remotely assist them if they are on windows or mac. im looking for something similar to the windows remote assistance. With both users being able to see and control the desktop. with the hosts permission. something simple enough so it wont be a whole process to walk them threw to even get connected to in the first place.

I have installed LAMP Server and I'm using it but now I want to connect it to the Internet. I haven't static IP but it isn't problem for me to change my address when I reset my router. I have already forwarded a port(81) and inserted `listen 81` and a public site that may use it but when I type my IP address it gets Time Out Error. When I set Listen address and VirtualHost to my public ip address it got this error while starting:
`(99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 109.110.170.200:81`.

I just got connected to Charter Cable Internet service a few days ago and I'm having a weird problem with my home network. Prior to this my network worked fine. On my network I have a desktop running Ubuntu 9.10/64 and Virtualbox with WinXP installed, an HTPC with Ubuntu 9.10/32 installed and a laptop dual booted with Ubuntu 9.10/32 and WinXP. The desktop and HTPC are hard wired to a wireless router and the laptop is wireless. The cable modem is hard wired to the router. I have samba installed and UFW is disabled. The problem is: with the cable modem turned off or on standby, all machines connect to each other and can transfer files, etc just fine but when I activate the cable modem all of the machines can connect to the Internet but the machines running Ubuntu can't connect to each other on the home network. If I boot the laptop into Windows, it can connect to the Linux machines just fine but if I boot it into Linux, it won't connect to the Linux machines but it can connect to the Internet and as far as the desktop, Ubuntu won't connect to the network but Windows running in the Virtualbox with bridged networking can connect to all of the machines.

Problem: I cannot connect my Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS PC with other PC's on my hone LAN... My PC will connect to everthing in my LAN using any other OS (Win7, Windows Vista, OpenSolaris), but not with Ubuntu.
I have a small home network. I have 3 PC's networked together into a Linksys WRT-54G Wireless/Wired Router. That router, in turn, is wired to a DSL Modem. This router is wireless and has 4 additional ethernet ports. 2 of the PC's are getting their internet connection via wireless, 1 via wired. There is also a wireless printer, a wireless connected PDA Smartphone and a PSP'. There are occasionally 2 other test Franken-PC's up on this as well. The Windows PC's are running Windows Vista and WIN7 and see and share with each other under the WORKGROUP Group.
My PC is multi-boot with Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Desktop, WIN7, Windows Vista and OpenSolaris (plus a few other OS'es)... This PC has 2 Ethernet Ports and a Wireless card. The wireless card works on this PC under the Window's OS'es... but maybe somewhat "suspect" under Ubuntu. (Has been since I started with Ubuntu 9.10.)
From any other OS on my PC, I can see other PC's and their shared folders, get into my router through a browser... From Ubuntu, I cannot. I can not even get to my router setup from Firefox! But using another PC, I can see the Ubuntu PC in the LAN router table. From that PC, My Ubuntu PC doesn't show up as a "PC" on the network- but when I tried to see if it was there by putting the IP address into a browser it said:
Code:
"IT WORKS!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added yet."
Ok, this is "different"...
I think the following are additional problems, but I'm still not sure they are related to my MAIN problem: When I boot or shutdown Ubuntu, I get "ath5k floor calliibration failure" messages flashing across the screen when in a text or tty mode. "ath5k" is the driver that the D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G520 wireless card is using- But I can still get to the internet in Ubuntu by either Eth0, Eth1 or Wlan. Next, the other PC's are connecting to my router wirelessly to the LAN- My PC is connected ethernet.. If I try to connect to this via Wireless from my Ubuntu PC, it says it successfully connects, then less than a minute later disconnects. (on-off-on-off...)

First off, I should state that I am still using Hardy. I realize that it is many versions from the current release, but my schedule is full and provides little time to ring out a new distro and considering the nature of my problem I don't see much need.
The problem is that I cannot connect to my WPA home network. The wireless card is working because I can connect to any WEP network and before upgrading to Hardy I could connect, although not at first.
Have recently installed WICD which has not helped. WICD tries to connect but reports that it cannot obtain and IP address. Network Manager did not report anything but did seem to translate the password into an encrypted key (saw posts relating to this before but no obvious fix) Since switching to WICD I have not had the opportunity to test connection to a WEP network.
I do not wish to change the security of my home network to accommodate the operating system.

I am using Ubunto 10-04 LTS and trying to connect to Western Digital (World Book) network drive. By signing into Mionet I am able to reach this drive on my network and remotely. Trying to run the executable resulted in the following error:
"The file '/media/Disc 1 290909/WDAnywhereAccess_3_6_0.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit."

why my VCN will not allow me to connect from my phone outside of my home network... When I do open up remote desktop it changes what it says... one day it says only available through Name.Local and then the other day it shows the IP address and says over the local network. I have tried going into gconf-editor and messing around but it still doesn't seem to work.. I'm not entirely sure how to mess around with my router.. and if that is necessary..

I am still building my home network, and want it o be able to connect to different computers by:
\pc-name
We have 2 types of computers:
Computers in the workgroup WORKGROUP (2 debian, 1 vista)
Computers in the domain TUE (required by our university) (3 vista, 2 xp)
Within the workgroup, I can call pc's by their name, but this is not possible by the pc's in the domain. I can however always do \ip and the 2 debians have a samba server running, which is available through \ip (and \name, for the computers in the workgroup).

I am trying to connect to my home network which is wpapsk when i click on the networking item in the tool bar at the top it shows my network and when i click on it to join the network it asks my for my security and it only lists wep 40/128-bit key or wep 128 bit phrase or leap?? or dynamic wep(802.1x)
there is no choice for wpa. but when i set up a new network or attempt to edit the network listed under wireless i can see wpa but the system does not connect i have tried looking around for info all with instructions on "enabling" wpa by using wpasupplicant which is there but nothing happens in fact when i try the code sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces i get command not found which in all the techniques i have tried require this line.

i have a problem connecting to the internet at home, but have no problem connecting to the internet in other places. My computer connect ot the router but does not receive aconnection to the internet form the router. this happens both wireless and ethernet. at the same time everybody elses computers (using windows) connect to the internet in my home. i have tried switching between two wireless cards, had the same problem. this makes me think it has something to do with the router itself. i use a Planet WRT-413 router.

I got my netbook in the mail yesterday, opened it up, logged in, and Windows 7 was installed. Being a Windows hater my whole life, I followed a friend's advice and downloaded Ubuntu netbook, made a USB drive, changed the BIOS settings, all that. Here's when the stupidity occurs--I decided to go ahead and install Ubuntu without trying it, and to delete Windows to do so. A couple minutes later I realized that was a really, really stupid idea, so in a panic I turned my netbook off. I turned it back on and it was still on install but not really moving, so I powered off and on again and went back to the "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" choice screen. I chose "Try Ubuntu" and found that it did not recognize my home wifi network or ask me to join--or any wifi network, for that matter.
Now, it did recognize my wifi network the few minutes I spent on Windows 7, so I tried to change the BIOS settings back to where I could just use that until I figured out the problem. But no matter which setting I tried (HDD/SDD just gives me a black screen, and FDD and LAN do the same as the USB drive), I can't get back to Windows, so I guess I did delete it. Which leaves me with a netbook that can only connect to the internet via ethernet cable. Which kind of defeats the purpose.
Questions I should answer:
1. How am I trying to get online? My home's wireless network. We have a router. All the other laptops in the house connect fine.
2. Who is my internet service provider (and in which country?) COX, United States.
3. Can you get online with any other method? Yes, the internet works fine with an ethernet cable.
4. How am I getting online to post in this forum? My parent's laptop.
5. What hardware are you using? Toshiba N505 netbook and a router. I can give more information about the router if you need it, but I doubt it's the program since the other laptops are fine.
Give me one moment and I will add some code that it gives me when I put in the commands this website tells me to.My two final questions are:
1. Is there any way to recover Windows without buying it again?
2. How can I get Ubuntu to connect to my home wifi network?
EDIT: Here's some code. I have no idea what it means, but hopefully you do.
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".See "man sudo_root" for details.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation N10 Family DMI Bridge

I have my main network with internet and DHCP which is on 192.168.x.x with a router.Now I have set up an Ubuntu file server and i want it on a separate home network with static ip addresses range of 10.x.x.x. and it is also connected torouter.So i will have two networks, one private static with no direct internet access, and the other with internet and DHCP. I want to know how I would "bridge" these two networks so that I could access my file server from the DHCP network. How is this typically done?

I have a network that consists of a few desktop machines, laptops, and two Internet connected linux servers. The Linux servers are the gateways, routers, and firewalls for my desktop and laptop machines.Whenever I'm away from home; I can connect to my home machines over the Internet by first ssh'ng (technically I use Webmin; because my firewall on each Linux servers blocks ssh from the Internet.) to one of the linux servers and then ssh'ng to the desired machine on my home network.
This works fine for my home linux machines. But not my Windows machines.I'd like to be able to rdp or rdesktop to my Windows machines.Will OpenVPN allow me to accomplish this ?

I have a Dell Mini 10v with a fresh install of latest Ubuntu Netbook Edition. I have enabled proprietary drivers in order to get the WiFi card to work and managed to connect at home, starbucks etc. Good stuff.
For some reason I can detect but not connect to the WiFi at work - I get prompted for the pword and after entering it the WiFi indicater will pulse for a while only to return to the pword prompt. yes, I have the right pword and can connect my iPhone and other laptops. I am really puzzled by this and really need to get on the WiFi at work - wired connection works.
my colleague has the same dell model with windows 7 installed and is able to connect fine - I really don't want that @@@@ installed just to get WiFi. I know password entry error is the obvious solution but I connect new windows devices to it routinely and had other people try too.

I've set up a PC installed with Ubuntu 11.04 on my home network, given it the name "server" and given it a static IP of 192.168.1.200. I've created a file in the home directory called "Public" and set it to be shared with everyone, basically a chmod 0777 situation. Now, how do I connect, or map out that folder from another ubuntu 11.04 machine? I know how to do it in Windows, just hit "run" and type in "\server" and blamo, I can see everything that's shared on that machine. I can't figure out how to do this with Ubuntu.

Am new, as of today to Fedora. I am unable to connect to my home wireless network. I have checked the security settings WPA PSK Personal TKIS, on the router. I have two windows PCs that are connected in this way.
The error message in Fedora 15 Network is Authentication required by wireless network. The details I have entered are correct, but no joy. Again, I am entirely new to Fedora

I just moved into a new apartment and now connect via DHCP. Everything seems fine network-wise, except that when I'm at work I can't connect to the home box. (CentOS 5.3 x86_64) One thing I noticed is that I can't really determine my "true" IP address. What I mean is that it looks like my IP is 192.168.0.190, but when I use linuxdcpp, and enter a hub, I'm told my IP addr is actually something like 71.192.163.206. Here's some info:
[root@localhost cwatson]$ cat /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases
option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;

Since I installed fedora on my desktop (there is no other OS on my desktop computer at the moment) I can't connect to my laptop which has Windows XP installed on it, although I can normally connect to internet from both computers. Here is the drawing to illustrate how everything is connected:
On the picture you can see that the phone line goes to the ADSL modem. The ADSL modem is connected to the Wireless modem with LAN cable. Wireless modem is connected to my desktop computer with LAN cable, and trough the wireless connection to the laptop. Internet is working fine for both computers, but desktop can't see laptop and vice versa. What do I need to do in order to see the laptop?

I have servers in remote locations where I have no control over the network routers or firewalls. I need to have a VPN connection to my servers.Is there a way to create a PPTP VPN connection automatically? I don't want to initiate it, I just want it to phone home, and keep phoning home if the connection is dropped.

I have one pc on which I have installed slackware and samba (fixed IP, mask 255.255.255.0) I have another PC (also XP) which also has fixed IP running XP, and I can connect that to the slackware server easily My third PC connects to the internet and gets its IP address from the Cisco router(?) that provides the IP and mask on boot up.
I tried changing the IP and Mask on the slackware server to match the internet PC (which uses a mask 255.255.254.0) but the PC mask and IP changed on the internet PC I want the PC that connects to the internet to also be able to connect to the slackware server, but I see no need for the slackware server to also connect to the internet - I will mainly use it as a file server When I worked for another company I think the IT department talked about having 2 network cards in the PC that connects to the internet

I know Windows forward and backward but I am so new to linux it's just wrong. I just installed fedora (like 1hr ago) on and old toshiba laptop with a WiFi PC card. Everything seems to work fine except. My Networks connects to my home Wifi network but it will not connect to internet. When it connects the IP address isn't even close to being in the same range as my other laptops and PCs. Like I said I'm new to linux but I'm wanting to learn. Any fixes for this issue? Which linus book is the best one to read for a beginner? Other then not connecting to internet I have no complaints.

I'm trying to setup OpenVPN in order to connect back to my home network while traveling for secure browsing and such. However, before I can even start trying to set that up I tried to see if I could open port check my computer through the net. And I'm having a hard time doing that.
As far as I can tell, here are my roadblocks:
1. Is ISP (Qwest) blocking my ports?
2. Is my modem doing the proper port forwarding and firewall?
3. Is my router doing the same?
4. Is my firewall on the computer allowing the request?
To minimize sources of error, I've turned off my local and router firewall and setup my router to forward ports. I'm not to familiar with my modem, but I'm pretty sure that the firewall is turned off by default and I think I've done port-forwarding correctly. But still no success when doing an open port check. At this point I don't know how to diagnose the problem.

So having recently set up my server (including some disk space and ushare, and an additional laserjet printer) I was wondering if anyone had any experience of putting a multifunction printer into an ubuntu server and adding it locally (to the server) then to the networked computers....I know this printer works perfectly (the scan too!) when plugged directly into a machine's USB....I suppose my real question is....does anyone know anything about the scanner side of it?? is this going to work?? I reckon the printer side will (/should - i know the printer works and i know the server can share printers.....lol) but the scanner side is relatively new (when put into the context of shared from my HS.Please note:My server is just running vanilla (plain) ubuntu 9.10....and my compo's are 10.04 and 9.10....ubuntu ONLY network...

Got a few servers runnning and they all connect fine to the net. Each are running with a static IP provided by my ISP. But I have one server were I re-installed Debian Lenny - or tried to. At the stage were it wants to connect to a mirror it cannot due to network problems. I tried a new install leaving it behind a router. This solved the problem and it connected. Tried once more directly connected to a static IP and same problem happened - it got to the point with the mirror. Tried changing the settings after the installation through the router. This is what I get from ifconfig :
[Code]...
If I ping it from one of my other servers it shows as OK and can also ping my other servers from the server in question, but if I ping google.com it times out (fails). The IP 92.62.196.77 is in the range that I can use. Checked that with my ISP. Just to make sure I tried disconnecting one of the servers that I have working and changed the server in question settings and still it came out with the same problem.

I have a Belkin N router setup with a virtual server to port 80 to 192.168.2.2 which my server sits on.
However, for some reason, I can get to the server from other PC's on the Router, but from outside, it will not port to the Server?
Any ideas on how to setup this?
I have Windows Webserver 2008 installed running on a 3.0GHZ Server.
