Ubuntu Networking :: Multipul Pc's At House Being VNC Servers?
Jan 9, 2010
im having some problems trying to have multipul pc's at my house being VNC servers. I have one thats running ubuntu 8.10 and it has its own ip and its own port of 5900, the usual vnc port number. That is my server. Then i have my main pc that has its own ip as well and its own port number of 5901. After some research i found that the port numbers start at 5900 and go up by one for vnc. So my main issue is how do i tell my vnc client to look at a port other than the standard 5900?
Iv been googling trying to figure out how to configure vnc to look to a different port.
There are a number of USB devices that can make Skype work with an existing home phone network, but most I've seen require Windows to work. I already have an always on headless Linux server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 (no GUI installed), so does anyone know of software and hardware that'll work with my setup to enable one of the analog lines in my home to work with Skype?
Also it seems most of the USB to Phone adapters are being discontinued and Skype doesn't even list any on their site. Do you guys know if they're phasing these devices out?
I'm trying to connect to Ipredator. If I plug my laptop into the wired network in one part of my house, I am able to connect to the VPN. If I connect to the wifi in another part of the house, network manager fails to connect to Ipredator. I have a wall-plugged wireless range extender, Netgear WGX102, connected to the wired network in the part of the house where Ipredator works, and it is providing the wireless access point in the part of the house where Ipredator does not work.
I checked the Netgear website and they don't seem to have any newer firmware for it. I've tried everything I can think of in terms of changing settings in the wireless range extender. Am I doing something wrong, and if so, what? If the problem is with the wireless range extender, then what can I get to replace it?
Alright so i just wanted to try and get remote desktop connections running so i can access files on the other computers in my house. For my first try i went after my laptop. I'm using rdesktop.
First couple times i tried i typed in
Code:
After about 15 seconds it would pop back with
Code:
I realized that my laptop's firewall was blocking the packets, so i created a custom rule that allows all TCP packets on port 3389. So i fired up rdesktop again. Now it pops back with:
Code:
But instantaneously, not after 15 seconds (not sure if thats significant or not.) I checked my firewall's log and it allowed the tcp packets.
i was getting impatient in finding a way to make some of my peripherial devices to work in linux but no luck, so i installed windows xp home in virtual box, gave it access to my usb devices and installed the drivers for the printers and scanner. but there is just one thing that i want to do now how do i get windows xp to share my printer in virtual box with other computers in the house
I have a WD My Book Essential Edition hard drive that has 500GBs of storage that I want to use with ubuntu and my windows machines in my house. The drives are preformatted with NTFS. Does ubuntu natively support read/write of NTFS hard drives?
I have an old clunker box with no HD insalled in it. it does have a cd rom however, and i would be able to run DSL from it with that alone.
i want to set this box up as a print server, since as it is all of the computers in the house must actually be moved to the printer and connected to it via USB to print.
i am looking to simplify this for everyones benefit, here.
the box i am going to use will *not* be connected to a monitor, KB or mouse once it is ready to be left on its own. i will use these to set it up, but after that, id prefer a way to http: into it or FTP into it.
i am on ubuntu, the rest of the house is on XP. i figure i will have to configure the computer with SAMBA in order to set it up for sharing, is that correct?
i will be connecting the computer to the wireless router.
basically, id just like help with a roadmap on what needs to be done to set this up. i dont need step by step directions on everything, just an idea of where to start. id really like to get this setup within a few hours.
I just installed Fedora 13 on my desktop but I can't get it to pick up the wireless network in the house.The desktop has a Linksys AE1000 that can feed off of the wireless router in another room when I boot up in Windows.
I would like to install a surveillance system from my barn to my house. I have used linux based distros for some time. Currently using ubuntu. Need four cameras. Wifi or wireless. Audio and video. Color and Infrared. Not sure if I want a PC or DVR interface. I am very interested in supporting hardware outfits that support open source (FOSS). The barn is located four hundred feet away from the house. No problem with line of sight. I'm getting too old to drag my behind up to the barn in the middle of the night when newborns arrive.

Backround I am attempting to setup a server in my house mostly(for the first time) for backups and file sharing. It is important to me that file permissions are preserved. So its my understanding that I must use idmapd in order for this to work. As of now I'm only working with the linux distros while osx will be dealt with once these two work together. portmapper is up and running, along with lockd on both machines. Firewalls are also down on both machines for now. The server side was all setup using the GUI interface with no extra options selected. Problem When attempting to "mount -t nfs4 10.0.0.2/$sharedfolder /mnt" I get an error operation not permitted with no error printing in /var/log/message. If I use "mount -t -o nolock nfs4 10.0.0.2/$sharedfolder /mnt" it mounts just fine. Ive checked both machines multiple times to make sure that lockd is up and running. In the idmapd.conf file I the domain as "localdomain" for both machines but I doubt that is right; like I stated above this is my first attempt at a server. I'm assuming the problem is a whole missing step that involves some kind of id mapping server I need to setup.
We're in the final process of building a home, and I had them setup a wiring box where all the coax and cat5 terminates into one closet, which will also house my server. Once we get moved in I'd also like to add speakers in each room to have house-wide music, and ideally I'd like the audio to also run into this box with the master input coming from the server as well.My thought was to setup the server with some basic desktop manager like Fluxbox and use that to drive audio throughout the house, whether it be Pandora, Sirius Radio, or whatever. Since the server will be headless I'll need it setup so we can remote into it from our laptops, but I wasn't sure if VNC or some other RDP variant would work. Ideally we'll need to access a unified desktop so traditional terminal services where each users gets their own desktop might not be ideal
My Computer options arent great, but i am going to be starting the process of switching all the computers in my house to linux, i wanted to see if i could make a server to connect all of them for file sharing, but mostly for world of warcraft in the house.it would only be 10 computers accessing it at once. i would basically want to know what the best form of linux would be, the programs id need to have, if it could be done on a desktop based machine, or if id have to use my server. if i would need different hardware or if the linksys hardwired router going to be enough connection. i guess the filesharing would be more the pressing need, especially if it is possible to create a server and convert the connected computers to linux through use of the server
a) right click wlan icon. b) edit connections. c) wireless. d) wlan. e) edit. f) ipv4settings. g) manual. h) dns servers.
Isn't this the place to change the dns servers? If I input dns server fx googles 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 then it's like the system asks for search domains. Must I input something there, or how do I set the dns servers?
I always use Shorewall on my Ubuntu Servers and it works great, one things I have never been able to get right is the TOS.Let say for example I would like:
HTTP traffic (80, but all traffic get routed to 3128 [Squid]) to get highest priority SMTP (25) second highest POP (110) third highest The rest forth
I found one strange issue with ubuntu, can anyone suggest if its a bug or as designed? If I have two nameservers in my resolv.conf, ubuntu only checks the first (and receives a not found reply from there) and never goes to the next two nameservers. This behaviour is very different from windows or other linux systems.
I have a domain through google (enom) I have one website which I host web forums My friend has a website which he hosts the frontpage We're on two separate hosts We're trying to combine the websites together and my friend wants to utilize his hosting.Is it possible to get this one domain to work on two webservers without doing a redirect? For exmaple: have [URL] be the frontpage and [URL] be the forums
I'm having some difficulties setting up my ubuntu home server. I have vsftpd installed on my server, and I am able to use it perfectly when I am outside of my home. However, whenever I attempt to access my server through FTP from my desktop, it does not work. The file in question will load VERY SLOWLY to about 8% then the connection will drop out.My desktop and server are connected to the same router, and I feel as though this may be the issue.or vsftpd in a special way to access it through LAN?What I am trying to do specifically is use Comicpress (a Wordpress plugin) to upload comics to my server, with no luck.
we are setuping high-performance web farm with 4 ubuntu servers (all 10.14 LTS 64bit, i5Core CPU, 16GB Ram). One server is "database" server with mysql installed, three servers are "webservers" with tomcat installed. All three webservers have public IP and are connected directly to internet by eth0 (onboard network card) and are connected to switch that is connected to database server by eth1 (pci network card). All servers has stardard instalation with no special modules/programes installed.
Web servers are already under load, but only on about 10 requests/minute. After several hours in production, strange thing happened - one of the web servers (each time another one, so it is happening to all of them but not at once) starts to have pings to database (that is connected directly on LAN) = 100ms (other two servers still has like 0,02ms). Pings stay high until we do /etc/init.d/networking restart, after that it is fixed and pins are again low again. Another strange think is, that when we let ping running for some time, it is slowly dropping from 100ms to 1 ms and then again jumps to 100ms (exactly to 100ms always) and again starts dropping - so it is cycling over and over again (one cycle takes about 2 minutes).
We were trying reconfigure network, play with switch (the same situation was happening even without switch when there was only one webserver and one database server directly connected), disable IPv6 but nothing helped. The only thing that we discovered is that it has to be caused by network configuration.Do you have any idea what can cause it? We went through systems logs but found nothing suspicious (at least according to our understanding).
i'd like to set up 2 hamachi servers on my network. one is already running...would setting up a second one be a problem? they would both be on the same router
Any command line tool to measure the network speed between my two linux servers without taking disk speed into account? My network is supposed to be 100Mb, but it doesn't feel like that so I wonder where the bottleneck is. The numbers that I see doesn't correlate well to that. So I'd like to know the speed network card to network card.
I got two ubutnu servers running side by side, I need to transfer several dir's of files, incl sub dirs to the other server via ftp and retaining the file permissions and dir structure. Both servers have ftp access, I am assuming theres an ftp command I use on the destination server to connect to the source server and retrieve the files? All the files reside in the one dir and need to be copied to the same dir on the destination server.
I'm running a dual boot system at work. I'm connected to a few shared drives in XP, and would also like to connect to them while using Ubuntu.How do I determine the addresses of the servers I'm connected (mapped) to in XP?
My desktop server serves up files via a number of protocols and I connect to it via SSH and Avahi. Today I tried connecting to it via SSH, but it timed out. I was able to ping it, and a port scan reveals all the ports I have open on the network. THe problem is that I can't connect via SSH, HTTP, AFP, SMB or any other protocol I have established.Is there a way to jump start a system in a situation like mine? I have a 6 month uptime going, but I'm taking it down soon for some hardware upgrades, so a hard restart is not out of the question, but I'd rather not. I also reset the router without a solution.
I have received a new modem from my provider and installed it. No problem with that except that there is a problem with my internetconnection. The internetconnection is established.But my computer gives an error every time I want to visit a website:
I have recently upgraded to 10.04 and I am trying to access my apache and sshd servers from the net but I have not succeed so far when those two are using their regular ports.If I change their ports to something greater than 1024 they work fine.80->8010 22->4567(I can access the servers when I am connecting from local net: 192.168.1.0/24) Is this restriction build into the new kernel? Is there something I can do to fix this without recompiling the kernel?
