View 1 RepliesI recently set up a network of computers via Ethernet, all of which use Fedora 10. I would like to be able to get any computer on the network to hook up to the internet.(I think the solution is now figured out - see below, on page 2, "problem solved")

I have just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my computer. The problem is getting it connected to the internet using my Sony Ericsson w580i as a modem. I have used my phone to connect to the internet on XP operating system easily. Please assist me and try to give me a more simplified step by step procedure.

However when I connect to the internet at home it shows that the connection has been established but I still cant connect to the internet. My flatmates are all able to connect. However, I am able to connect from work both wirelessly and through an ethernet cable.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis problem started a few days ago. Whenever I attempt to connect to a wireless connection via network manager, my computer completely crashes, going to a black screen with no input from keyboard or mouse. It forces me to reboot using the power switch. Everything works fine when I connect to an ethernet cable, so I am sure it's a problem with my wireless driver.
I already tried (successfully) reinstalling the ath9k driver via compat wireless as was the advice from other forums, but this had no effect. I'm currently running opensuse 11.4, and haven't had this problem until a few days ago
This problem seems a bit ridiculous for a task as simple as connecting to a wireless network, so I'm convinced that either there is some sort of relatively simple way of fixing it, or windows really is the only decent operating system out there..
I have 2 computers in my house, on my network. I want to connect to one computer to the other using SSH. On one I installed "OpenSSH-server". "OpenSSH-client" was already installed. I go to the other computer to try to connect to the "server" computer and I enter in the terminal:
Code:
ssh username@192.168.0.33
It never connects. The text input "bar" keeps blinking, it never connects and I get the "Connection timed out" message.
how I can connect to the "server" computer? What am I doing wrong? And if I edit my "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" file to listen to port "12345" how do I get the other machine to connect to that port?
I have Ubuntu server installed on my old machine, which has no avahi running. I want to be able to connect to it by hostname. Is it possible. I have a tp-link TL-WR941ND router, but it doesn't seem to have any related options. How can I do it? Is there another way?I know I can add them on by one to the host file, but that is not what I want. Also that wouldn't work well with DHCP, and new hosts.

Namelly:
ssh -Y -l loginname main.server.name
and then
ssh -Y my.local.machine.
On my local machine there is a vnc server running that I would like to access it from home (linux machine). Actually linux is running everywhere.
I am trying to connect to an apple computer wirelessly to get access to the internet.. If no encryption is used on the network (gateway?) set up by the apple computer I can connect just fine and browse the internet.
-If a WEP encryption is introduced I cannot seem to connect... even though the WEP keys are identical.
-I have tried both WEP 128 passphrase and WEP 40/128 key... -Have tried the WEP passphrase being both just numbers in case that mattered.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD and I can't connect to the internet. I click on System --> Preferences --> Network connections and under the tab DSL I click Add. After i fill the information I click to connect to the new connection and after a while it shows me a baloon which says "Wired network: Disconnected - you are now offline".

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem which is connecting automatically to my spwireless. On my windows, my schools provide me the disc which contains several .cer files and a automated batch files to copy the .cer files to the root folders. I can choose to use the other network but in using that, i have to manually connect compared to using the spwireless. Anyway, my problem is that, how do i add the .cer files and to where so when i connect to the network it will look there for the cert. Because when i manually connect, only one cer can be chosen.

I have an wired ADSL Modem given by my Service Provider. When I switch on my modem the router gets connected but it cannot connect me to internet...
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 need to reinstall my GUI but all I can access currently is a terminal, I have the encryption key and SSID but have found all the how to's I've read really confusing since following certain steps on them give me error messages, I'm connecting wirelessly to wlan0.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just want to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to connect to the internet. I have done a massive amount of troubleshooting, but some of it seems to contradict itself, and the only two things that I know for sure are that it used to work, and that my Ethernet cable is not the problem. When I use Terminal utilities like ifup and dhclient it seems that it can not determine IP information, but when I try to put it in manually, the "Apply" button grays out right after I finish typing it in. When I try to connect normally, in KDE or GNOME, the icon acts like it's connecting, then instead of having the connected icon, I receive a notification that "the network has been disconnected", and it goes back to the disconnected icon.
Oh, and by the way, I know that I could probably find a workaround, but I have limited resources, and this used to work. The Linux is a Dell desktop with Fedora 12 and the Windows is a Windows 7 HP laptop.EDIT: I hope that I didn't mess something up, but I accidentally used system-network-config to try putting in the IP address there, and ended up changing it back to the original settings, but the computer is now calling it Auto Ethernet in the taskbar icon, although sudo iwconfig in the terminal still calls it eth0.
I'm using ADSL modem (not router) and I can't connect to internet. The network manager and the pppoe-setup command doesn't work. So I'm asking some of the experienced users of fedora 12 to help me setup my connection.

I had an ubuntu 10.4 box, I used it mainly for programming, virtualization & other stuff. I've installed this box about 1 month ago, working on it everyday. About 2 days ago problem appeared when I just opened up firefox for cheking my E-Mail. I typed : [URL]. & nothing appeared & I just seen the famous firefox page when a networking problem is around . I just wondered and checked the connectivity & the wire itself, but find no problem around them, while playing with firefox I just had a turned on virtualBox machine (Windows XP service Pack 3), I just checked the internet within vm & working fine, I checked my e-mail from vm (windows xp), I thought restarting the system might help to solve the problem but damn, problem didn't solved & still arounds Well, I searched through websites dedicated to linux networking & forums that might help, I did anything that faced to my brain , follow another people recipes but problem did't solved for about 3 days ! Playing with primary & alternative dns didn't help, I did my best about solving the problem, disabling ipv6 from both linux networking settings & firefox itself didn't help also . After that, I thought reinstalling the linux might help to solving the problem, but install a new version of ubuntu, 10.10, I tried it, install it but the holyshit problem still arounds ! I think this might be a bug on ubuntu distro, I tried Mint 10 & the same problem, reinstalling x64 version of fedora core & the same problem .It's interesting that the same settings for TD-8101G TP-Link working fine for my Windows XP, Windows 7 x64 & the problem is arounds just for my linux distros .As I said I checked the internet for the problem & found nothing workable for me. I thought it's better to describe the problem & maybe another people faced with that problem .
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a CentOS server that I can connect to over my local network. The computer I'm currently on is on that same network and can access the internet. My server can not connect to the internet. The network card is obviously connecting to the network since I can access the server locally with SSH or HTTP. While in the terminal for the server, I type wget google.com and the server can not find the specified host, so this leaves me to believe it can not access the internet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an AWL6075 Golden N Wireless Mini USB Adapter from Airlink, and I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. (Kernel 2.6.31-20-generic) I've learned that in order to get this to work, I needed to download this firmware update: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/373876...8192sfw.bin.gz and copy it into /lib/firmware.I have also needed to download and install the drivers at http://www.filestube.com/f76673d157e2ab6203ea/go.htmlI've even Edited my connection to make it available to all users.This is great, and it gets my internet running. Unfortunately, I seem to have to make the module, and insmod the module 8712u.ko everytime I boot up. I know I had it set in 9.04 to be able to do this on boot up, but in 9.04 I didn't have to re-make it everytime.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI setup a network bridge on pc A, with windows 7 installed on it, using windows default bridging tool. I connected computer B to computer A and Im trying to connect to the internet through the network bridge on computer A. Computer B (client) has two OS's installed, win XP and linux(tried with different distributions, didnt work). On windows XP everything is working, when i try to ping the router (after computer A) it also responds. On linux system nothing is working, and im not quite sure why.
I set up linux to receive IP adress from DHCP, which is router in this case (behind computer A), same way windows XP was configured. I decided to ask here, because I couldn't find anything on the net. My guess is windows-made bridge supports only windows-OS's but that would be kind of strange (its just a software bridge).
just recently I made the move back to Ubuntu from Windows. Upon re-installing I noticed a problem with me connecting to the internet. Previously on Windows I had updated my Ethernet Adapter driver, upon installing I would have to disable and re-enable the device to let my computer have access to the internet. My problem here is how would I go about fixing this on Ubuntu so I can have internet access on Ubuntu

There is a network proxy and I did apply the network proxy setting system wide.
Applications like Dropbox, Messenger etc stopped connecting to internet which were working very well until yesterday.
How to create some sort of network, which would mean that one computer (Lubuntu in this case) is connecting to internet through second PC (Ubuntu), which is directly connected to cable, so maybe I get some manuals and tips. The computer which is connected to internet have two LAN cards (Realtek 8139 and integrated nVidia MCP65), Realtek card is connected to the internet provider cable (internet is tied to my computer's MAC address and uses static IP).
Second computer have also a Realtek card and it's connected to first computers integrated card. Anyhow - I've put on the first computer eth1 (which is integrated MCP65) IPV4 setting to "Shared to Other Computers" and IPV6 to "Link-Local Computers" and while I was having Windows XP on the second machine, setting on it (the XP machine) DHCP (or how was it correctly called, when system automatically resolves or gets the IP and the rest what it needs?), second computer was receiving Internet signal and I could use both of them in such way.
Now the second computer is with Lubuntu and I thought that I could do the same way as did on XP - just put in Network Manager for the connection (eth0) everything to automatical and there will be internet, but there aren't and the manager shows some kind of "Automatic Ethernet" option, which after activation also doesn't do anything. What do I have to do, to make my Lubuntu machine to recognize Ubuntu's eth1 and to use it as a source for Internet?
