Ubuntu Networking :: Connecting To Android 2.2 Wifi Hotspot Makes 11.04 To Crash

Apr 29, 2011

I often connects my laptop (Asus EEE) to my HTC desire hd with the wifi hotspot. But this doesn't work since yesterday when I upgraded to 11.04. When I connect the laptop to the phone the screen on the laptop goes black with a lot of scrolling text then it freezes.

This worked out of the box without any problems with 10.10.

Fedora Networking :: Connecting IPhone 3Gs To Netbook Using F?

Apr 24, 2011

I am trying to connect my iphone 3GS to my netbook using Fedora 15, tethered via a USB cable. When I first plug it in, it recognizes it as a digital media player and pops up a dialog asking what I want to do, recognizes it as media with digital photos on it and pops up another dialog asking what I want to do, mounts the documents folder on the iphone and opens an file manager window, and adds an eth1 interface dynamically. The network manager recognizes it as a wired connection and tries to connect to it. This times out and the interface is left off.

This is so close to just working right out of the box. I really commend the Fedora team for this release. I am thinking of submitting this as a bug, but just want to ask here first, is there there something I don't know about the iphone which makes it unable to connect to eth1? Mentioned here was an ad-hoc network connection, is this mandatory for connecting to iphone through the USB cable? Ideally it would just connect to the cellular network and pull an IP, but I'm a newbie with this and am not sure about the level of security that affords me.

Ubuntu Networking :: Connecting To Network In Netbook Version On Hp Mini?

Jun 22, 2010

I decided to try ubuntu on my netbook and it seems to have set up well other than I cannot see any wireless connections. I can't click on connection information. The blue light is on, indicating that my netbook's network card is on.

is there another version that would work better with an hp mini? Otherwise the netbook is rather pointless

Ubuntu Networking :: Connecting To AP Causes Crash On Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5138?

Jul 15, 2011

When I'm running Ubuntu everything seems to work perfectly until I try to connect to a wireless network. My wireless card supposedly works out of the box because I can scan for wireless networks without a problem. The only time it becomes a problem is when I try to connect to a wireless network. Doing so causes my computer to freeze, requiring a hard-restart. I disabled the driver that comes with Ubuntu, and installed ndiswrapper with my card's corresponding windows driver. As soon as I modprobe'd ndiswrapper, my computer froze as it did before and required a hard restart. This was about a month ago, and since then I have tried OpenSUSE and Fedora, but these distros also did the same thing. I eventually gave up and installed Windows 7 and everything works perfectly. However, I'm now growing tired of using Windows. (I do a lot of linux server administration, and it's much nicer to do from a linux machine.) I would very much like to try to get Ubuntu working on this laptop again. Does anyone know what the solution may be?

EDIT: If you are experiencing the same problem, DISABLE your PCI LAN card in your BIOS. Wireless should work fine. Seems that the LAN and WLAN card have a similar ID or something and linux confuses the two, so disabling LAN card solves the issue of not being able to use the wireless.

Ubuntu Networking :: Suddenly No Connection Anymore - Connecting Wireless With My Netbook

Feb 14, 2010

I am using UBUNTU 9.04 on a HP mini notebook. I pratically never had problem connecting wireless with my netbook, expecially with this connection at home. Until yesterday. There were some line problems, that have been solved after some hours. Then I was able again to connect.

I didnt do nothing on the netbook. After 2 hours, connection gone. Now, even if other laptops are wonderfully connected (to the same line), mine has a dramatically slow connection (in the sense that is able to open just the first page of google if I am lucky) or no connection at all (even if the signal looks good on the network panel.

I tryed the help for wireless troubleshooting, checked for device recognition. Putting in terminal sudo lshw -C network Says disabled. But the device of the wireless on my pc is on, and it's also enabled in its panel.

Ubuntu Networking :: Connecting To Wifi With 192.168.0.x Addresses

Mar 29, 2010

I've happened across a wireless router that has a gateway address of 192.168.0.1 and allots IPs from 192.168.0.64-255. My laptop wouldn't connect to it automatically, so I was playing around and found that it needed 0.x instead of 1.x. I thought the network manager on ubuntu would have figured that out?! Now its a separate story that the router happens to have no admin password

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.10 - WiFi Not Connecting Anymore

Dec 13, 2010

I am working with ubuntu (gnome) 10.10 maverick 64 bit on a HP pavilion 2713ca. I have installed the Broadcom sta driver for a BCM4328 wifi driver. After setting wpa security with my password, the wifi network worked for many weeks. However, in the last few days it does not connect no more. I have tried to reinstall SSID. And I have checked to see if eth1 was still there:

Ubuntu Networking :: Connecting To Wifi Using Terminal

May 3, 2011

im using minimal ubuntu 10.04 and im having trouble connecting to wifi using the terminal. the wifi worked perfectly on the desktop version. i followed this guide [URL] and looks like then i used '/etc/init.d/networking restart' and get this now it seems ive disabled wlan0 as $ sudo lshw -C shows

i tried to enable it again by using 'sudo ifup wlan0' but i get a few errors i think the 2nd errors may be because i tried to download another driver for the wireless using 'wget [URL] and then 'dpkg -i rt3090-dkms_2.3.1.3-0ubuntu0~ppa1_all.deb'

Ubuntu Networking :: Netbook Cannot Connect To My Home Wifi Network?

Jan 22, 2011

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

Ubuntu Networking :: Connecting To Neighbors Wifi But Not Mine?

Jan 8, 2010

I am a newbie trying to setup wifi using 9.10 on a compaq nx9010 . The driver is activated for the broadcom 4320 rev 2 chipset. the wifi light is on.I can connect to my neighbors's unsecured network, but not mine which is using personal WPA2 security.

I am using a lynksys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT160Nv2 I have installed WICD and removed the gnome network manager WICD tries to validate authentication which fails. then it tries to obtain an ip address which fails. finally it says: CONNECTION FAILED: UNABLE TO GET IP ADDRESS". meanwhile it is showing the wireless network at 100% signal.

last nite tried changing wifi channel, changing to WEP, installed and tried WPASUPPLICANT and WPA_GUI. Unfortunately , nothing worked. The wifi controller was able to assosciate with the network but could not authenticate. I'm wondering if the passphrase that I type in on the computer is somehow being turned into a hexidecimal or something so that it does not match what the router has as the pass phrase.

Ubuntu Networking :: LAPTOP Built-in Wifi Not Connecting To Ad-hoc?

May 27, 2010

Running 9.10 Ubuntu on my laptop. It connects fine to regular access poitns, but for some reason it won't connect to my android wifi adhoc sharing. I have it as dual boot with Windows and windows connects to it perfectly. From Ubuntu 9.10 it tries to connect... then just disconnects. Would be killer to be able to use it with my adhoc wifi sharing! I prefer my Ubuntu boot, rather than my windows one

Ubuntu Networking :: SSH Session Freezes After Connecting Over Wifi?

Oct 16, 2010

I am connecting from my WinXP laptop to my Ubuntu Server desktop using PUTTY. The laptop is using Wifi and the desktop is on a wire. I have a D-Link DI-524 wireless router. My session works fine for a while, and then freezes, sometimes after only a few seconds, and sometimes after many minutes. The same thing happens when I use VMWare Server Console to connect from the laptop to the desktop's virtual machines. Other connections between these machines under this setup (RDP, samba, SVN) do not experience problems. I usually do not experience problems establishing the SSH and VMWare connections.I have ended up using Windows Remote Desktop to connect to a Windows XP virtual machine on the desktop, and opening a PUTTY session on that machine. That's a nice workaround, but it makes it so that I have to have that VM running in order to have a reliable SSH session to the box

Ubuntu Networking :: Connecting And Staying Connected To Wifi

Jan 27, 2011

I've noticed that switching to Ubuntu about 6 months ago has made it noticeably more difficult to use the free wifi at my school. When I had Windows 7 on the same laptop, it was much easier to establish and maintain a connection. I know it's not the hardware. My question is: is there some security setting that makes it difficult to use public wifi on Ubuntu? Also, I don't have this problem at home on my WPA2 home wifi network.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wifi Won't Finish Connecting - Keeps Asking For Password

Jun 5, 2011

I'm a novice using Ubuntu 10.1 on an Asus EeePC. For several days, my computer has refused to connect to the office wifi, though it's had no trouble doing this in the past. It recognizes the signal, and the wifi icon keeps indicating that it's in the process of connecting, but the process never completes. Every few minutes I'll be asked to re-enter the password. Eventually it gives up.

I'm not sure if this problem extends to other wifi networks or just the one at my office.

Ubuntu Networking :: Not Connecting Ubuntu 9.10; Broadcom 4322AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n WiFi Adapter?

Jan 13, 2010

I was running 9.10 in LiveCD mode and was unable to get online. Went to System>Administration>Hardware Drives and found "Broadcom STA wireless driver". Cool. So I went ahead and installed 9.10 (dual boot with Vista), repeated above steps but found no "Broadcom STA wireless driver" option, in fact no proprietary drivers. So I still cannot connect to the Internet, and I don't know where to go from here. (Note: I installed 9.10 side by side with Vista: good? bad?)

Ubuntu :: Connecting To A Dynamic WEP WiFi Network?

I am having a bit of a problem connecting to a dynamic WEP WiFi network.

Code:

Apr 15 11:39:31 MyComputer wpa_supplicant[1002]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys

[Code]....

I have googeled that specific error about the WEP line, and it *was* a bug at one time, but according to the bug tracker, it has been fixed. Not so, me thinks.

So, does the specific error above look familiar and does anybody know of a way to fix it?

Debian :: WiFi Connection Cause Squeeze To Crash / Resolve This?

Aug 21, 2010

I'm using Debian-Squeeze, and the command "uname -a" results in "Linux debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Jul 24 01:47:24 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux". The desktop environment is Gnome 2.30.2.

My problem is wireless connection causes the system to crash. Here is the detail: my university uses a WiFi service that we have to enter our ID and password in a certain web page in the browser to get access to the Internet, while the WiFi signal is automatically picked up. My laptop crashes each time I connecting to such wireless network. But back home, when connecting to my own WiFi, everything is all right.

As the only thing I can do when such crash happens is to press the power button to force the computer to shut down, I've gathered no more information till now.

Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

Ubuntu Installation :: Connecting To Wifi Hangs Natty?

May 12, 2011

Just upgraded to Natty on both my desktop and netbook. Desktop upgrade was a breeze, and I'm liking the changes.Netbook isn't having such a good time however.First login after upgrade (using default gnome settings) played the login sound and froze. No mouse movement/keyboard response. I tried again with Ubuntu Classic - nothing. Finally Ubuntu Classic No Effects did correctly boot/login. I allowed it to perform a proper shutdown (was doing a power flip beforehand), and it was able to boot into normal Ubuntu Unity.

I enabled the wifi module using the laptop's keyboard shortcut, and Ubuntu searched for nearby networks. After finding my prefered network, it started to connect and threw the system into a command console abyss and froze. Tried again on the Ubuntu Class no effects, and it freezes on connecting to a wifi network. If the laptop crashes and I have to perform a power cycle, I can't boot into normal Ubuntu mode. I have to go back into Classic no effects.
