Ubuntu :: Set Up DNS Name For Local Network Machine?
May 31, 2010
Ubunu 9.1 and I would like to set up my machine so that when i type a domain name into another browser on my local network, I will get the apache server. I currently access the pages i have on the ubuntu server by typing the ip address into another machine on the network, I would like to type in a DNS type of name instead.
Ultimately, I would like to access this machine from outside of my network over the Internet, and would appreciate insight on how to do this, too.
i want to know mac address of a particular ip but the problem is that i am unable to ping that ip but that ip is being used by someone in my local network that i know from my proxy logs. i want to know the mac address of that ip,
I have an appliance called my_appliance.raw. To start the appliance locally, I use:
[code]...
After that I would like to ssh into the guest from the host but just the ssh command doesn't work. firewall is disabled on guest. the ip I use is the one that ifconfig shows when I run it on guest. sshd is running.
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)
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).
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?
I have an ubuntu kk laptop connected via wireless to my mixed network (xp, win7, other ubuntu), but i can not ping said machine or connect via ssh. Internet and smb-browsing ON this machine work, as does pinging FROM it. If this was a windows machine, I'd say a firewall is in the way, but since it's a vanilla karmic install, this should not be the case (or should it?).
It seems whenever i create a folder it creates the folder as untitled folder, but i can't change the folder name it just says "you don't have permission to rename item" but yet i created the folder and it is there. One thing i have noticed is that once i enter a folder it won't even let me move the folder.
I have ubuntu-8.04.1-server installed on virtual machine. It works perfect. Now, I made copy of this virtual machine. I started that copied machine and it works fine, except one thing: network does not work! I have several others VMs with freeBSD, openBSD or Windows on it, but only ubuntu machine hes network problem after coping. I tried some other VM with ubuntu on it - same problem! I downloaded VM with ubuntu - same problem.I take a look into /etc/network/interfaces file and it looks just as it should (same as before coping) but ifconfig command returns parameters for lo only (before coping there was eth0 and lo).
I would like to be able to have one local user connect to the X of another local user and run an X program. On fedora, I can simply run: $ xhost + And then have the other user run: $ sol --display=0.0
This is not working on my ubuntu (10.10). I am guessing that there is an additional level of Xauth restrictions, but I cannot find out how to get past them. Both users are local to the machine. I would like to not use sux or gdsu as both require you to enter the password and I would like this to be seemless. I am aware of the security concerns and believe that I have mitigated them.
I have a few ubuntu machines in my house, 1 mythtv backend server with other services as well, 2 mythbuntu frontends boxes hooked up to tv's etc. I wanted to push the audio from my laptop out over pulseaudio to the machine connected to the AV equipment.
I could not see any other pulseaudio sinks in padevchooser... this lead me down the road to investigating avahi.
When I run avahi-browse on my laptop (hydrogen) it only returns the services published from itself:
My laptop has vmware on it, and I've changed the vmnet intefaces to not support multicast so avahi ignores them. but I'm still at a loss to why my laptop can't see the other machines on my network with avahi (mdns).
The devices tab under ubuntu one preferences lists only <LOCAL MACHINE> the staus at the top says disconnected, the connect button is grayed out and the reset button at the bottom right does nothing. Files don't sync etc but I think this is as a result of the situation described above. I have tried on the advice of an older thread to delete the token for Ubuntu one from 'passwords and encryption keys' and then revisit Ubuntu one preferences in order to sign in again and grant my computer access but this made no difference.
I had run one script in unix machine and want to copy the results to a windows machineBoth the machines are on different networksIn linux machine trying to do the ftp to the windows machine its giving connection refused. How to chech whether ftp is running on that linux machine or not?Also tried scp and ssh , both are failing
I have a server that is on a high port number, and people want it on port 80. For root exploit issues people say the server can not run as root. So to solve things I want to redirect port 80 to a high port number, say 12345 on the machine. This has been discussed all over the web, so I find I need to do this:
And I do this, an voila things work for the whole world. All machines in the world can see the server on port 80 on the machine.Except, on the machine itself. On the machine 123.45.67.89, I try to get to the server on 123.45.67.89:80, I get a can't connect error. On the machine if I try 123.45.67.89:12345 I can connect.What am I doing wrong here? I don't want localhost network really, I want the ip address and port, but I want the forwarding to work on the local machine. But it doesn't...
I've run into a weird problem. Two of my linux machines (A and B, both running CentOS 5.5) are connected to the same wall ethernet socket via a hub. Bothf them are configured for static IPs. The trouble is that when machine B goes offline or hits a kernel panic, machine 1 goes offline too. What I've noticed is that in this condition the "route" output from machine A does not show any entry for the default gateway either The contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for machine A are:
I m using the pc as gateway....i have two NICs:1) 10.6.15.254 ---> for internal network 10.6.15.02) 10.6.0.115 -----> for out side world I can ping and ssh any out side machine but when i try to ping or ssh any machine in the 10.6.15.0 network it says host unreachable.... i can ping and ssh gateway i.e. 10.6.15.254 and 10.6.0.115 but not the client machine in the 10.6.15.0 network from out side world even i flush iptable rules i can not access any client machine i m using ubuntu 10.04 as operating system..
I tried to authenticate using ntlm proxy authentication service and my computer could not retrive the IP address. Currently I am using fedora cammbridge
I have a reverse ssh connection established from a remote machine to my local machine - it is established with autossh from the remote machine - I know it is connecting because I can see the two ssh processes on the local machine - and, when I kill the two ssh processes, two new ssh processes are immediately established. But I cannot login to the port on the local machine. I have tried everything - it simply refuses to connect. This remote machine is miles away and not readily accessible.

I'm wondering if there is some way I could utilize netcat or socat to "tap into" this connection from my local machine??? (My ultimate goal would be to get to a shell on the remote machine.)
Yhe only ptoblem was that he had forgotten the password to his network. This was really anoying and has happened before sp yesterday i decided to install some kind of WEP cracking tool so that it would not happen anymore.. After using sometime without getting anything to work i found this tutorial: [URL]
and started following it. i only got to the point where he has updated his computer using update manager and is about to patch his wificard. Then i noticed that the network manager for gnome was gone and the virtualbox logo in my top panel was changed to a red circle with a line running through it. I have tried to download network manager from another computer and installing it on my laptop but it needs internet to install. Then i tried to connect to my local network using terminal that did't work either i also tried connecting using a cable but had no luck connecting. The command iwconfig gives me:
I am trying to run xeyes on a remote machine via ssh connection. Both my local and remote machines are Ubuntu 10.04. I connect to remote server via ssh -X and It does not forward to display to my local machine...

I have a Ubuntu server hosted on Amazon EC2. I need to create an automated backup scheme so I created another Ubuntu instance on my local network which is hosted in a virtual environment. I managed to transfer the necessary files between 2 machines on the same network using the rsync command:
How can I do the same thing but transferring files from my Amazon server to my local server? Is there a way I can achieve this with port forwarding, or by VPN, or anything else? It doesn't have to be rsync. If you know about a better method, kindly let me know.
So I have a set of 10 *.deb packages that are customized. I would like to host them on my local Debian 5.0 machine on my local LAN just like a typical debian repo so that any I can apt-get them from any machine on my local LAN after adding repo to my sources.list file:
I just getting back to working with linux. I'm having a problem with what seems to be an iptables thing or something easier than that, Enough here is the question I can get apache to run on the local machine by either going to http://localhost or by the ipaddress on the CentOS machine. But for some reason when I try to take a look on my laptop (on the same network) and try to go to it using the IP address is doesn't go. I can ssh from my laptops but it will not open the apache startup page.
