Ubuntu Servers :: Name Not Showing Up In Windows Or Networks?
Mar 21, 2011
My server name, salamander, is not showing up in windows networking or in the networking items on linux computers. I have checked, double checked and tried several samba settings to see if I can make it work, but to no avail. Its shares can be accessed by any computer by going directly to 10.10.1.101, salamander's fixed IP.
My workstation, bear, shows up. I edited hosts to read: "10.10.1.101 salamander"
Any machine can access the share on salamander using the ip address, but not even Bear can connect directly with the computer name.
When I go to networks in Salamander, all it views is itself and a windows network. Inside the windows network is only salamander.
Bear shows up in the list of servers, and also has samba running. Eagle and Bearcub are also ubuntu without samba and do not show up in the list either. Understandably so.
Here is my smb.conf:
Code:
[global]
workgroup = WILDLIFE
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
security = SHARE
[Code].....

I just bought a new toshiba c655 laptop and had windows 7 on it. i made the dual boot partition on it, yada yada yada, anyway, on the windows partition i can see two networks at my house. one is mine, one is my neighbors. but when i go to the ubuntu side of things not a single wifi network shows up. i did a little combing of the forums and decided to try installing the ndisgtk package which i obviously need internet for. i thought i would plug it into an ethernet cable running straight from the modom and i could connect and download no problem. however. this has turned out to be quite a mistake. ubuntu does not even recognize the fact i have an ethernet cable plugged in. this may or may not be related, but niether my ipod or my cell phone does not show up when i plug those in and when i try to mount them i get an error message that says they could not be found. Im running 10.04.

I have ubuntu 10.10, and at my house I primarily used wired, and it works fine, and under windows earlier today I was able to locate networks, so my wireless card is working. I'm currently at my girlfriends house, and trying to connect to her wireless internet. When I try to connect, I can't find any networks. I've made sure her network has sharing and discovery enabled, however in my wirelss manager it comes up as blank. There's the option to add wireless manually, but do I really need to go through the trouble of finding the routers mac address and all that, it should just show up?I could switch back to windows to see if I can connect, but I'm almost positive it's just the linux wireless manager..

I arrived in the Central African Republic only to find that my wireless (on an HP Mini 5102) wasn't working -- it didn't detect any wireless networks. So I wiped off Windows and installed Ubuntu 10.10, Luckily, it did! (Partly.) At first, I still didn't get any wireless networks. I messed around with all the various things you have to do to get Broadcom wireless drivers working. Finally, following a forum suggestion, I installed Wicd -- and this did the trick. Not knowing any better, I kept Network Manager alongside Wicd, but Wicd is what works much better. (Is there a reason to un-install Network Manager?)
However, when I try to connect wirelessly to the network at this country's one cafe with wifi (which usually works really well, by CAR standards), the network doesn't appear. At the office, when I open Wicd, it includes a box with the message "<connection name>: obtaining IP address", and bit by bit it connects. But when I open Wicd at the cafe, this doesn't happen -- it just gives me a list of random signals from nearby offices (all secured and low-signal), none of which I can connect to. Any ideas how I could get the cafe network to show up?I'm at the office now, and so it's working. However, in order to get it working I had to restart three times -- Wicd only seems to work about half or 33% of the time. Sometimes I get the message: "Connection failed: unable to get IP address" and sometimes I get the message "No wireless networks detected." Then I try again and eventually it works. So far.

got a dell inspirion 15r (i think), and it comes w/ win7 (I HATE Win7) so i made him let me dual-boot with ubuntu maverick meerkat. (he wouldn't let me get rid of win7 cuz thats what his parents use.) It installed successfully, so we booted into it, and there was no wifi networks. I thought it was because wifi was disabled so i press the button i think its F5 but still nothing. I thought it might have been the comp but i booted into win7 (Que the Beethoven's fifth)... and it worked in win7 (thats a first) can someone help me. Oh and i forgot i used that terminal command to unblock wifi

I have been working on this problem for a while but might be narrowing the options. This is an HP laptop running Ubuntu Koala. Until last week, the wireless had been working perfectly but suddenly it lost the wireless connection (to a Bell modem/wireless router) and all local wireless networks had disappeared. These two command listings below may hold a key but I know nothing about wireless and not much about Ubuntu. What seems odd is that "lshw" shows the wireless interface as logical name "wmaster0" but the iwconfig shows a "wlan1" as the wireless. The ethernet wired interface shows as "eth1" on both commands. Could this be causing the problem. Also, I was wondering what the "ACPI handle has no context" means.

All the Ubuntu networking info I can find online talks about Samba and how to deal with a Windows/Ubuntu networks.
I have 4 computers for my family, I just installed Ubuntu (10.04 lts on 2, 10.10 & 11.04) on them. They are all dual boot with XP.
Is there a tutorial that talks about just dealing with an Ubuntu network? I would assume you don't use or need Samba if windows isn't involved?
Also it looks to me that the work-group name is more important to windows. Is it even necessary with Ubuntu?

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 attached the global config section from smb.conf file:
Code:
[global]
server string = Samba Server
interfaces = eth1, lo, wlan0
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50 .....

I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.
What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.
I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.

I am using NFS to mount large LUNs from my SAN.have one lun already setup and configured. I am adding an additional partition from the same SAN but I am confused on the setup. I know the LUN is connecting to my NFS serve correctly because I see it listed in my/proc/scsi/scsi as an additional LUN. What I don't see is the drive being displayed in fdisk -l.I did notice one thing though, when I disable the host mapping from the SAN, I see it removed from the /proc/scsi/scsi file AND my fdisk information changes from /dev/sdb TO /dev/sdc (see changes below)
fdisk -l without host mapping to SAN:
Disk /dev/sda: 13999.0 GB, 13999026470912 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1701951 cylinders

I installed 64-bit 10.4 LTS side by side with CentOS, and after install done, grub only showing ubuntu.
I ran 'os-prober' and it detects my CentOS install. I ran 'update-grub' and it updates grub, but doesn't add CentOS. I thought that should do it. What did I miss?

For some reason SAMBA is not showing up
[default-www]
writeable = yes
read only = no
path = /var/www
force group = nogroup
force user = nobody
guest only = yes
public = yes
create mode = 777
directory mode = 777
I can see Ubuntu on the LAN, but nothing being seen under it. What is wrong with it? /var/www has been chmod already, and set to 777

I am using ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS and I have webmin 1.560 installed but when I look at Un-used Modules its showing system log is there and when I click on it I get this: The syslog configuration file /etc/syslog.conf was not found on your system. Maybe syslog is not installed, or a newer version like syslog-ng is in use, or the module configuration is incorrect.

I was foolishly messing around with Grub trying to get it so it only show my two most recent kernel versions of Ubuntu and Windows 7. The tutorials on how to do this were not clear, so I deemed it not a big deal and ultimately didn't end up making any changes. However when I restarted to boot into Windows 7 it was gone for Grub's boot list. I looked at the grub.cfg file and in it under os-prober, where i'm assuming Windows 7 should be there was only Vista (which wouldn't boot when I tried it, just a black screen). I had upgraded from Vista over the internet when Windows 7 first came out, then installed Ubuntu and it worked fine until this. I am using 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10, and have Grub 1.97 beta~4 installed, which was installed with Ubunutu.

How do I make Grub recognise my Windows 7 Installation?
