Ubuntu Networking :: No Local Lan Connectivity For Sharing?

Nov 21, 2010

I can see the network shares, but when I click on one of them, I get the message:Unable to mount location (header)Failed to retrieve share list from server (body)This worked fine for me in the previous versions, so I don't know what to try.On the windows machine, the share can also be seen but not permitted to connect.

Ubuntu Networking :: AR5001 Chipset - Wireless Networking Randomly Loses Connectivity And Can Not Regain Connectivity

Jun 25, 2011

Wife's laptop has AR5001 Wireless Adapter laptop model is Toshiba Satellite A215

Problem : Wireless networking randomly loses connectivity and can not regain connectivity, the only apparent solution is a full power down , this is not even certain to work. The card works under Windows, she hates Windows. (I love her for this) I know it's not faulty hardware , because it will work for days on end under Windows without problems.

Things I've tried : madwifi drivers (any and all versions available) : These increase stability of the signal and seem to delay the inevitable however it still happens. When using these drivers the only option is to unload them modprobe -r then reboot then remove them again and re add them. It makes no sense why this works, and if I don't remove them prior to rebooting it will not work.

ATH5K drivers : These are pretty much junk, results are unpredictable at best, sometimes it will work perfectly for a few hours, sometimes it will not work at all. Nothing is repeatable, I can't seem to force whatever condition is causing this. rfkill does not show the wifi being blocked (hard or soft), unblocking it anyway does nothing, only way to make this work and it's iffy is to fully power down wait 5-10 minutes turn it back on and it MAY decide to work.

Firmware update : Updated the Toshiba BIOS to the latest version of the firmware 2.0 no joy here either. Same issue both sets of drivers.

Tried different distros and kernels : I've tried Mint 9, 10 ,11 ; Ubuntu 10.10, 10.04 , 9.10 and 11.04 (which is currently installed) , Fedora and OpenSUSE. All are giving the same problems. I have also tried a slew of different kernels no joy from any of them (I'm not at the computer with the issue now I will post exactly what kernel versions I've used when I have access to the machine).

Another useful bit of information, the hard switch to disable/enable wifi WILL disable it but turning it back on does absolutely nothing. The hotkey does nothing at all. The bios does not have an option to disable or enable the wireless card.

I will also post the typical lsmod , lspci , iwconfig all that good stuff when I get back to the computer in question. I'm probably just going to buy a PC card for it and give up on that one, but this is driving me insane and I would really like to see it resolved even if I do replace the hardware.

Ubuntu Networking :: Sharing Internet Access And Local Files/server

Jan 16, 2011

i would like to setup one of my old pcs as a file server and internet gateway; we are living in a large building shared with 40 others. the ubuntu box would be the one connected to the internet via ethernet and sharing connexion via wifi. i haven't started yet - presently, i am doing the ground work and reading before to start i understand sharing the internet is relatively simple and can be done from the GUI

What we would like is slightly like BT Fon or BT Open Zone in the UK: you can hook on a free network but in order to access outside (internet: email, web, ftp, etc) you need to login login would help us monitor fair usage. I imagine something with username and password for each user would do: as we are a few in the same building not everyone is actually paying for the connection and we don't want to end up with rather large excess bills. So the ones who are paying access both files and internet; those who dont just have access to the files on the local server.

Do i need Ubuntu server to set this up? What hardware would be ideal - given we are all far from rich but willing to have a nice setup

It would be great if you could share some knowledge around the topic and eventually provide some tutorial; also any heads-up on the hardware side would be great! (signal booster, etc - there's 3 floors and 3 buildings)

Ubuntu Networking :: Dual Ethernet Networking - Lose Internet Connectivity?

Apr 18, 2011

I have a server with two ethernet ports. I configured eth0 to be static, set at 10.1.10.148. I plugged in another router into the other ethernet port in order to configure that router. I configured eth1 to use dhcp. Using /etc/network/interfaces rather than gnome network manager. When I did this, I lost internet connectivity (internet routes through eth0 of course)

- Why did I lose internet connectivity?

In order to recover internet activity, I had to disconnect the new router on eth1 of course, and do sudo ifdown eth1. That wasn't enough however. After rebooting numerous times and pulling out my hair, I finally tried configuring eth0 as dhcp, rather than static, and this fixed the problem.

- Why didn't sudo ifdown eth1 solve the problem? What information was saved between reboots that somehow remembered that I plugged in the new router? Because my thinking was if /etc/network/interfaces was identical, and the network topology was identical, after a reboot everything should be restored, but it wasn't.

Ubuntu Networking :: Can See All Devices On Local Network And Their Local Ip Addresses

May 16, 2010

I'd like a way to see all of the devices on my local network and what their local IP address is. I recall that I used wireshark to troubleshoot a similar problem a while back, but it doesn't seem to have a way to see all of the devices- only the traffic. (I'd like to do this without having to physically interface with my router if possible, and I am in an encrypted network if that matters)

Ubuntu Networking :: Unable To See Local Web Sites From Local Network

Jun 28, 2011

I have installed a web server on my local network. Everything is well configured and web pages are shown correctly from Internet (outside the local network) using the domain or the public IP.The issue is if I try to see that web pages (using the domain or the public IP) from inside the local network. In that case the router config page (192.168.1.1) is shown instead of the web pages.From inside the local network I'm only able to see the web pages using the internal IP address (192.168.1.XX).

Ubuntu Networking :: Use Local IP Only On Local Network?

May 25, 2010

I've got an Ubuntu server hosting our websites and other various things here in our own home. We recently switched to a router that doesn't support loopback (abomination), so I've set up hosts files on our computers so we can access our own sites when on our home LAN.

However, we often take our laptops as we travel about, and I'm guessing due to the hosts files when we try to access our sites, it'll look on whatever local network we're connected to for our server, which won't work, obviously.

Is there a way to set up something like a hosts file that'll only try to look up the local IP of the server when we're on a specific network (our home one), or have one that tries to look for the local IP first, then proceeds to try and resolve the domain name and use the external IP if the local IP doesn't work?

Ubuntu Networking :: Different Connectivity Under Different Kernels?

Apr 19, 2010

I use a laptop with a built-in WiFi card (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] using iwl3945 module). It's OK but sometimes is not very stable, occasionaly it simply dies and I have to reboot. It was even worse but I improved it by applying a new driver.I also have a very nice USB WiFi card (D-Link System DWA-140 802.11n Adapter [ralink rt2870]). It's much better and faster.

So the problem is that in Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31) I can use only the built-in one. The other one (D-Link) also works but I can't make it connect to my router. The built-in card connects to it but the D-Link even does not list it among possible connections (but it lists other possible connections which I do not want to use).The funny bit is that this problem disappears when I use an old Kernel (2.6.28-18 ) : both cards work fine and can connect to the router at the same time (obtaining different ip's). I then disable the built-in one and happily use the external card.

Unfortunately the old Kernel has issues with sound and video, so I would like to use the latest Kernel with the external card. I tried WICD but it didn't change anything.I can add that under the old Kernel the USB card is used as a ra0 device while the new Kernel lists it as wlan1.

Ubuntu Networking :: DWA 547 Connectivity Stability?

Apr 4, 2011

I have an issue with my Dlink DWA 547 802.11n PCI adapter, I'm under LUCID fully updated.I have no trouble connecting to any wireless but after a few minutes I'm loosing the connectivity strenght (getting ping reply from my router that vary from 2ms to 200ms). But as soon as I'm rescanning the network using the command (sudo iwlist wlan0 scan) everything is fine (constant 1-2ms ping). I'm using wicd as network manager. I have tried to schedule a job in crontab to launch every 10min a network scan command, but didn't succeed to have it working, morehover I don't think that's the good way.

However, I can't seem to get it working.HP says that the driver is Lite-On USB Wireless 802.11 b/g Adaptor. I am currently connecting to the internet with my netgear USB adapter (I think the driver is something like prism_usb)

Ubuntu Networking :: PXE Installation Failed - No Connectivity?

Jul 22, 2011

I've tried to set up an easy PXE server to set up ubuntu on various PC's via network. When I was finished I tried to boot a virtual mashine and later a normal notebook, both had the same problems, they find the TFTP server start booting and installing but it always fail. Reason: they get no IP from the DHCP-Server (I'm using dhcp3-server), even if I enter an IP manually I only get to the mirrow step where it tells me bad mirrow and the dhcp log says: Abandoning IP address 192.168.1.46: declined. I also rebootet the router but nothing changed.

Networking :: Internet Connectivity Drops With Ubuntu 10.10

Jan 23, 2011

I had my desktop running ubuntu 10.10 at my sisters house hooked up to a router sharing internet with her boyfriend never had a problem with it there. I moved into my own apartment this week plugged the cable modem directly into the broadcom ethernet card and couldn't get an ip or anything it wouldn't connect period so I ended up hooking it up usb which works but only at speeds of 5-7mbit when I have 15mbit connection. So I put another ethernet card in hoping it was just problem with the card and tried it that worked.

I got a connection but it was incredibly slow like getting maybe 5k a second so I open network tools in administration menu and start pinging google. While I'm waiting on a bandwidth test to complete and it takes off getting like 20mbit keeps that connection for a while then out of nowhere just drops to almost nothing. Again for a few minutes then falls off completely so I restart and it does the exact same thing starts off slow then something clicks and it works great for 5 min then nothing?

Ubuntu Networking :: Initial Wireless Connectivity Slow?

Jan 9, 2010

I'm running Lucid Alpha 1. Installed it about two weeks ago. Until a few days ago, the wireless networking was the best I've witnessed on any o.s. However, after last Wednesday's updates, connectivity now lags about 10-30 seconds whenever I open any web-page or access the repositories via aptitude. Granted after it gets going, it's fine. I noticed this same behavior in 9.10. I tested my XP connection and found no problems. .

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.10 Wireless Connectivity Fail For Wifi?

Oct 31, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10. I was using iBall N 150M USB adapter for internet connection with Windows XP. Let me explain about the present Windows connection :

I am using an Outdoor CPE Wimax. For mobility purpose I have connected this wimax to one LAN port of ADSL+ WiFi router ( Beetel 450 TC1 ). This ADSL+wifi router reset to Factosy settings and enabled DHCP. With this setting , I am perfectly able to connect my laptop to Internet.

When I connect my USB adapter to Ubuntu , intially it detected the signal and asked for credentials. I gave the same and network established. But I am not able to browse the net. If I give [URL]..., its going to the ADSL+Wifi's diagnosis page. With Windows , [URL]... was going to the Wimax modem. After 2-3 trial and error , now Ubuntu also not able to connect to the wifi network.

Ubuntu Networking :: How To Diagnose Intermittent Wireless Connectivity

Jan 16, 2011

Just recently I've been having strange connectivity problems with my wireless network. The connection has previously worked fine and haven't had any problems with it. I haven't installed anything that would have affect it as far as I know. how do I go about testing the network to see where the problem lies? I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with a Netgear WG111v2 wireless adapter and my guess is it is some strange configuration problem or a rogue application is eating up packets because the system works fine when I boot it up into Windows.

When I try to ping my router I'll usually get something like 98% packet loss. However in the output below, the network sprang to life half way through my pings so it went up to 63%. What other tools can I try to find out what's going on?

Code:

alex@obsidian:~/dev $ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1a:4d:4e:03:3f
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

Networking :: Ipv6 Connectivity Using 6to4?

Jan 14, 2011

The goal: ipv6 connectivity using 6to4 The problem: no connectivity on some internal hosts (mixed win & debian) and no ipv6-web access on any host. Let's start with my external box. It is headless debian lenny dhcp/local-dns & cache/firewall. It has the following interfaces after a reboot:

[Code]...

My understanding is that ipv6 will auto-configure itself and that the radvd file is all that is needed by the external host to give all the ipv6 enabled internal hosts ipv6 web access. My question: How is my external host misconfigured? Or are the problems specific to the internal hosts? I am assuming that I have issues on both the external and internal hosts since some of the internals have golobal ipv6 address and some don't. I do however wish to address the external host first.

Networking :: Connectivity Stops On Fc12?

Jun 9, 2010

I am installing fc12 in a datacenter that does not yet support fc12. I have fc12 successfully running on several other machines in a different unmanaged datacenter. Here is my problem. After booting the machine I run a data transfer intensive operation. I use scp to transfer a 1GB file. After some percentage, 10 to 30, the network appears to go away. No ping, ssh, traceroute, etc are successful (in or out). At the KVM console I can check the status of the network service, it indicates its up. Restarting network, turning off iptables, ifdown/ifup do not have any effect. Only a system reboot will temporarily allow network connectionifconfig show LOTS of RX errors and dropped packets.

Networking :: SSH Connectivity Over HTTP Proxy

Jan 13, 2010

Machine 1) I have a Server with RHEL5.
eth0 = 192.168.48.x (static class C ip connected to VLAN switch)

Internet available via HTTP proxy through vlan but from other main server but not from machine below.

Machine 2) I also have a Server with RHEL4.
eth0 = 124.30.XXX.xxx (public IP for availing internet)
eth1 = 192.168.60.xxx (class c ip to share internet via squid on the same LAB)
eth2 = 192.168.16.xxx (class c ip connected to VLAN switch)

Now what I want is ssh connectivity available to Machine 1, so as to enable remote machines on the internet connected. I know that it might be hard for Machine 1 to share ssh directly on the internet but if there is any kind of tool or tricks to setup pls tell. So the only chance is ssh via machine 2 then after connected to Machine 2 then again ssh to Machine 1. But how do I make ssh available online? IPtables are set correctly machine 2 can't be ping on the internet.

Ubuntu Networking :: Intermittent Connectivity Using Huawei E 1550 USB Modem On 10.4

Aug 18, 2010

I have a Huawei E 1550 USB stick modem and I'm trying to consistently get it working with Ubuntu 10.4. Using usb_modeswitch and wvdial I've got the device recognized as both a modem and disk drive and it seems to be working okay. wvdial usually is able to find the modem and connect and I can get online no problem. That's the good part.

However, after some amount of time (sometimes just a few minutes, sometimes hours, but it always eventually happens) the modem stops working and gets into a state where when I run wvdial it keeps looping and failing with:

Code:

ATDT*99#
NO CARRIER
--> No Carrier! Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT*99#

[code].....

Interestingly enough, when it's in this state I am still able to access the modem, and via AT commands am able to see that it has signal, can make phone calls, and can send SMS messages! It just can't seem to dial a data connection. Now, unplugging and plugging the modem back in almost always seems to solve this problem, only for it to fail randomly at some undetermined point in the future.

Why can't I just keep unplugging and replugging the modem, you ask? Because the computers (yes there are currently 9 computers and modems I need this to work on) are being deployed to clinics and offices in rural Africa where they will be locked in a box so they aren't stolen. I have pursued ways to shutdown power to the USB port in order to "fake" a hard pull of the cord in software, but haven't been successful so far. I've also tried reading as much as I can on the NO CARRIER response, but so far it's not turned anything up.
