I'm trying to configure my ubuntu 9.10 to access a lan. In the gnome network manager I can find all the blanks to fill with the ip, subnet mask, gateway and dns, but I can't understand how I can specify the wins server ip.
View 1 RepliesI have been using samba with WINS enabled for a few years now. I know all setting in my smb,conf were and still are fine. For some unknown reason my samba shares got wacked. I have no idea what cause it but I could not fix it. So I decided to take the plunge and install a smb client. I remember thinking, I'm going to regret this... After the install of system-config-samba It would not run, I saw a few forums talking about missing dependencies
Code: sudo aptitude install samba samba-common-bin system-config-samba smbfs smbclient After words my permissions got fixed. So I was quite happy. and Wins was working great with all shares set up correctly. Than after a reboot WINS was not working. So I tried to clear out the WINS data files and restart smbd, but now it wont create my WINS.dat file. I dont see anything in the logs that helps me here, any ideas?
Currently my shares are good, samba is working fine, but WINS will not works. From a windows box I get "There are no entries in the list." from a net view.
I am experiencing horrible name resolution problems in Maverick. I believe this problem is related to having the following line in nsswitch.conf:hosts: files wins dnsI do use Samba and access windows shares in my network (that's why wins precedes dns. I was wondering if there is any way to setup a wins lookup timeout so it can fail quickly enough to try to perform the lookup using dns.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a CentOS 5.3 box running Samba and OpenVPN. I have the Samba server setup as a WINS server and OpenVPN pushes the WINS server to clients when they connect. Everything is working great except for one problem. When I connect to the VPN using a Windows machine at a remote location, I can ping all the host names of computers on the VPN network no problem at all. However, when I ping the host name of the OpenVPN server it resolves to 192.168.122.1. All my machines are on a 10.x subnet and I have no idea where this ip is coming from. I've checked the hosts file, lmhosts, etc. and can find no reference to this 192.168.122 subnet.
I think I recall seeing this 192.168.122.1 ip when I had installed the Virtualization group and it created a virtbr0 network bridge with that ip. I've since removed the Virtualization software and deleted that bridge.
my wife needs the 'horrible' dos because she uses - Russian - programs written for windows only.
i suppose:
they - the Russians - never discovered the linux-os (very surprising)
or
she - my wife - got the wrong version.

is there an easy way to run windows-progs on ubuntu 10.04 ?
I'm using Debian 6.0.0 (Squeeze), I have other 2 PCs with Windows (XP, WIN7) and all PCs are in a network with a DCHP (an ASDL Router).From Debian PC if I open the "File Browser" -> "Network"I can see all Windows computers by name (so samba can resolve the NetBIOS name), but I can not recover the IP
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been working on this for about 4 hours so I am extremely frustrated. I am trying to access windows shares from my linux box. I will worry about getting my own data shared afterwards.
I was having the authentication problem described by swerdna's sticky, and it was solved by the upgrade. However apparently that is not the main problem. samba is trying to use my ISP's DNS to resolve the internal network names. I have a vague conceptual understanding of WINS and NetBIOS - but Windows does this without any extra steps. Do I need to configure my machine to also act as a WINS? how do I do that? In my searches I found a thread about "why do windows to linux users give up?" this is why.
My Fedora router has three nic's, one for the internet, one for lan and one for the wireless network, which uses hostapd. I have set up samba in order to enable windows file sharing from wireless lan to wired lan. Using the samba documentation I have enabled the wins server and wins proxy which should allow met to browse the shares across the networks, which theoretically should do the trick but it doesn't work as expected. I can see the pc's from the other network using windows neighbourhood, but as soon as I access one of them it fails saying that "network path could not be found" or something like this. Tried using windows 7, windows xp and linux for browsing but the result is the same. As firewall I have shorewall and the samba specific ports are enabled for both networks. How to setup samba for inter-network browsing?

I have 10 systems on my network and I have centos5.5 installed on server. All other clients are on WinXP. I am using squid server to share internet on my network.Problem is: whenever an user trying to open a website through squid server, it opens too slow, but if same user tries to open same website by passing squid server, it opens 3 times faster. Downloading speed is same in both scenario. Only buffering speed is slow through squid.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have (seemingly regretfully) finally upgraded my Fedora Core 7 linux machine that has served me so well for the past decade. One of the final pieces to put in place was my Openvpn config (which was running flawlessly on my FC7) which I cannot get to work.
Here are my steps.
1. Disabled SELinux
2. Added the following entry in my iptables: (although I've stopped iptables to help troubleshoot)
-A INPUT -i tap0 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i br0 -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i br0 -j ACCEPT
3. Yum installed openvpn and bridge-utils (btw I'm using bridging)
4. Configured my bridge-start script as such:
#!/bin/bash
# Set up Ethernet bridge on Linux
# Requires: bridge-utils
# Define Bridge Interface
br="br0" .....
5. Configured my openvpn server conf as such:
proto tcp-server
port 5990
dev tap0 .....
When I execute my bridge-start script it creates the br0 and tap0 then all connectivity vanishes (I can only ping my gateway 10.0.0.50) - internet and any other addresses time out.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with an e-mail server (with an IP of 10.10.0.1) which is behind NAT (Cisco ASA) which in turn of course has it's own external IP (let's say - IP 10.10.0.100). Both IPs are public.Now, if i wanted to set up a correct RDNS configuration for my domain, what should be the IP address entry for the PTR record in this case?
I know this is strictly network configuration related question (not Linux, or CentOS for that matter), but I wouldn't be asking if I didn't get a few bouncing e-mails every once in a while (i.e. NDRs) with messages like: You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am thinking of moving the router behind a server and connecting the server directly to the internet via a modem. Are there any security issues related to doing this? or other things I should be aware of. Iptables are implemented on the server blocking access on unused ports.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed a linux server in my office to run 16 machines. Its main use will be a internal mail server but will be also running websites.
I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 server x64 and have got apache running.
I am looking for the simplest more robust solution for smtp, pop3 and imap. I have only ever used qmail before and found it a pain to configure and its getting old so I though I should probably try something new. I have not much experience with running pop3 or imap on linux so would love a suggestion on that.
I am *finally* getting around to rebuilding my file-sharing computer. I'll be sharing files with both Linux and Windoze machines. It's a home network, so there's nothing fancy needed. I know I have to tweak my smb.conf file until I'm satisfied with the features and security. I'm using SWAT and I'm starting with a bare-bones conf file. It's not secure but I can see the server and selected files/directories from my other Linux box.
My really dumb question is, do I have to reboot both the server and the client machines every time I change the SAMBA configuration? I thought I just had to stop and restart the SAMBA service in the SWAT software - but then the server disappears from my client. It looks like I need to reboot both machines for the client to see the server.
Right now i have a HP DL 180 Server with 130 Gb Hard Disk & 8 Gb ram after Raiding0+1. i want to configure Domain Controller Server for my office for 200 to 300 Users. what should the partition size must be mentioned in my 130 Gb Hard Disk, is that going to be Sufficient for ME ?
i am bit confused about /Usr /Var /Boot partitions, as i need to manage perfectly in 130 GB
if i go with 4 Gb swap and remaining for " / " is that will be fine ? should i need to specify partition sizes separately for / tmp /var / usr ..
I will be relocating to a permanent residence sometime in the next year or two. I've recently begun thinking about the best way to implement a home-based network. It occurred to me that the most elegant solution might be the use of VM technology to eliminate as much hardware and wiring as possible.My thinking is this: Install a multi-core system and configure it to run several VMs, one each for a firewall, a caching proxy server, a mail server, a web server. Additionally, I would like to run 2-4 VMs as remote (RDP)workstations, using diskless workstations to boot the VMs over powerline ethernet.The latest powerline technology (available later this year) will allow multiple devices on a residential circuit operating at near gigabit speed, just like legacy wired networks.
In theory, the above would allow me to consolidate everything but the disklessworkstations on a single server and eliminate all wired (and wireless) connections except the broadband connection to the Internet and the cabling to the nearest power outlets. It appears technically possible, but I'm not sure about the various virtual connections among VMs. In theory, each VM should be able to communicate with the other as if it was on the same network via the server data bus, but what about setting up firewall zones? Any internal I/O bandwidth bottlenecks? Any other potential "gotchas", caveats, issues? (Other than the obvious requirement of having enough CPU and RAM).Any thoughts or observations welcome, especially if they are from real world experience in a VM environment. BTW--in case you're wondering why I'm posting here, it's because I run Debian on all my workstations/servers (running VirtualBox as a VM for Windows XP on one workstation).
I'm trying to set up a Linux server and I am new to this. I have gone through most of the configuration using SAMBA 3.0 and when I populate the ldap directory all I get this error before the password request:

If you hadn't guessed it from my last 3000(ish) java-related posts, I'm a Java n00b writing a Java Applet for a work project. I got to the part was I was about to write the applet code that would send HTTP requests to my CGI scripts. But I read some paragraphs in a book praising Java servlets as better that CGI because they are easier to use and give much better performance server side. My server load isn't very big, though, and I was wondering if it would be worth taking the time to learn about Java servlets and how to set up the server side configuration on my Fedora web server.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running the current release of Debian with the 2.6.26-2 kernel. This is an upgrade from an older (2.4 kernel) series redhat release. One of the things I had working in the older system was a dns server with accompanying monthly update of the root hints file. I tried working through a dns how-to to set this up again, but it seems much has moved around since I last played with this. All of the files listed in the how-to are not where it says they should be. I am looking for a better reference on keeping the dns server running with current server information.

View 18 Replies View RelatedI wanted to setup my server as a router/gateway just for educational purposes and also when it succeeded i will keep the gateway and place it on the front line right after my modem.
My current setup as it is now :
The GATEWAY/ROUTER will be doing the main work to act as a dhcp server and firewall.
Now my setup as it is now :
So now what i ment to do was :
Let the clients connect to the gateway via ETH1 and all the stuff being router to ETH0 which is the NIC that is connected to the internet.
But now i have two huge problems :
1. The DHCP configuration seems to be fine the client machines get their ip adresses and /etc/resolve.conf looks fine to. But somehow the GATEWAY/ROUTER wont let me use the specified external DNs server so i cant do anything on these machines.
2. The firewall script [url] at line 27 should be DROP but if i use this line of code the GATEWAY/ROUTER cannot use his dns server settings so when i try to browse the internet or ping a machine outside my local network it would came up with nothing.
I am hoping to find some much needed help here. I have been to various other sites and am beginning to think that I am not meant to have a server of my own.
I was told that OpenSuSE was good for beginners. So far, I am wondering.I am trying to set up a home network ( 2 laptops, 1 desktop. The laptops are wireless )
I'd like to set up a web server to run a personal webpage or two and maybe a forum, shoutcast server and IRC at some point down the road after I figure out the first two.
I found a guide, but it was for 64 bit and wanted me to install ISPConfig 3 ( Which, obviously I don't need )
I would like some basic, beginner help on installation, configuration and whatnot on setting up a web-server and mail server.
Yes. I have a static IP ( leasing an IP block from my ISP ). Yes, they allow me a web-server and mail server ( I had to get the IP block to do so ) and I have my own domain name to use.
On the various attempts, I managed to get apache working. ( When I visit my domain name, it says "IT WORKS!" which is nice and all, but I am use to using Cpanel and have no clue how to setup / edit a website outside of a panel ( or even FTP )
I think I got the mail server installed, but again ( as with the web server ) have no clue how to setup / configure and use it.
I either am using the wrong search words for help or asking incorrectly or something. This is my final stop. I am at the point of just forgetting it, chalking it up to a lost cause.
I do hope someone here is willing to be patient with me and help me through it all. I will even give link backs and Kudos to this site if it all works out.
