Ubuntu ::Way To Use .local Dns Suffix For Both Linux And Windows Machines With Dhcp
Dec 26, 2010
I was setting up a new Linux box and router today and when I was looking to see if my custom DNS servers were being handed off in DHCP to my Ubuntu box I realized that the isp was shoving down onto my machines their dns suffix. Since I have configured my dhcp scope in the router to hand out a local dns suffix I am not sure why my suffix is not being used. Is there a way to use the .local dns suffix for both my linux and windows machines with dhcp instead of having to manually set the suffix?

I am trying to share folders between my laptop and desktop. The desktop runs Ubuntu 10 ,and the laptop I'm dual-booting between pclinux OS and another OS. I can't see either machine from either machine. The desktop shows a "windows network" when I go to the network location in file manager. When I run PC Linux, I can't even see the desktop which runs Linux as well, and I've tried to configure shares in the PC Linux OS Control Center, but I obviously failed. I installed gshare on the Ubuntu machine, and PC Linux has GUI tools(whew!) to configure NFS, SMB, and Deb-whatever the other one's name is. As a new convert, I've went into properties,permissions, because it's what I'm familiar with. I just wish someone would tell me if I should maybe just go back to the other OS or not, as I've had so many problems every since trying the switch. I really like this system, but it seems as if you need to be some kind of computer programmer or something to be able to do the most basic things (install software,wireless,share files). I'm not a stupid person, and what I lack in knowledge, I compensate for in desire to learn.

I setup a private network from virtual machines and one of the machines is the DHCP server for the group. I want to specify a next-server for the DHCP server but I'm having trouble connecting to any of the machines that I lease IPs to. I'm just trying to do a simple ping/ssh to 10.0.0.252 (a machine with a lease) but it doesn't seem to respond. I'm assuming I need to be able to connect to my next-server but maybe I'm wrong.

So in an effort to increase the speed of my netbook, I removed Ubuntu and installed Lubuntu on it. When I tried to mount my samba share as I normally do, I noticed it wasn't able to connect - mount error(113): No route to host. Sensing something fishy, I attempted to ping the machine (both by name and by IP) - Destination Host Unreachable.The machine I'm trying to connect to is using Ubuntu 10.04 x64. I attempted to ping the other way and it was able to connect to the netbook just fine. When the netbook was using Ubuntu, it was connecting fine. My iptables check out ok, but here is the output of iptables -nvL:
Code:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 213 packets, 21635 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
[code]....
Does lubuntu have some funky firewall built in to it that I can't find? (I've Googled for information on a Lubuntu default firewall and can't find any)

I'm running a "relatively standard" home network environment. That is, I've got a DSL connection to my ISP, and am running a router/NAT environment that connects a number of machines -- Mac, Windows, and Linux -- to the external network. Internally, all the machines have addresses in the range of 192.168.0.x. However, because of the static/NAT address mapping, the machines whose internal addresses are mapped to external static addresses show up at external hosts as 216.xxx.yyy.zzz (the address range assigned to me by my ISP).
The other machines, which are on the network via NAT, show up as 66.xxx.yyy.zzz, the address assigned by my ISP. Finally, I'm running a local DNS server that handles addressing issues for my domains and sub-domains that are hosted on local machines. All the machines use this local server for their DNS, with my ISP's DNS server as secondary. All of this is to say that it's more or less a pretty typical configuration, and, in general, everything is working fine.
Here's where it gets tricky:
* Machine A is a Fedora 10 linux box, which hosts an externally visible domain and runs, among other things, a web server. It's assigned to one of the addresses that's mapped to a static IP address.
* Machine B is a MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (10.6). It typically runs at 192.168.0.6, which is NOT one of the addresses mapped to a static address, but "just" a NAT address.
Now, suppose Machine B hits the web browser run by Machine A: the log files should show the traffic arriving from the local address, 192.168.0.6. However, it instead shows up as coming from 66.xxx.yyy.zzz, the external NAT-affiliated address. This seems wrong, especially since all the other machines on my network show 192.168-type addresses when hitting the web server.
I now change Machine B's address to 192.168.0.5 -- one of the statically-mapped addresses. Browsing traffic is now arriving from 192.168.0.5, which is (I think) as it should be. I now change Machine B's address back to 192.168.0.6. The web traffic on Machine B is now reported to be arriving from 192.168.0.6 -- NOT 66.xxx.yyy.zzz. It's complicated by the fact that I don't know where to look for the problem. All the log files on all the machines seem relatively normal; there are least no glaring problems screaming out from them.

I am new to networking and trying to setup my own local area network using virtual box machines. I have installed BIND 9.7.3 using yum in Fedora (dns server) and created all necessary .conf and zone fil es. I am successfully able to resolve domain names on this host machine (dns server). for example dig @dns.domain.lan client1.domain.lan correctly resolves domain name.

In addition to 2 "desktop" machines, I recently set up an Ubuntu Server with Apache2, but when I try to access my www.homepage from a machine locally connected to the same router (via both wired & wireless interfaces), I am directed to the Login page of the router, not to the www.homepage. Yet, when I access the www.homepage from elsewhere, my www.homepage is accessible.
I can browse to my www.homepage by entering the local IP address into browsers on both local machines, so I know the machines are talking to each other. Just not letting me get in via normal internet browsing channels.
Server: Ubuntu 11.04
Webserver: Apache2
Router: D-Link DIR-615
IP Address of: 192.168.0.110 (reserved on router, static on server)

For strange reasons I was stuck without an Internet connection for about 2 hours. I couldn't establish a connection, even local network only via DHCP. This was on Natty. After 30mins passed, I rebooted to Maverick only to get the same results. With nothing else to do, one hour after, I booted into Windows XP to play Dragon Wars 2. Lo and behold! I had Internet connection. At first I thought it was a technical problem with my ISP. So I rebooted hurriedly to Natty and after several minutes of trying to coax Network Manager for a damn fre*kin* connection it still couldn't.
Back again to XP, I couldn't believe that I wasn't experiencing some kind of on/off signal from my ISP. It wasn't just a coincidence that I could connect on XP and not on Natty. The connection was fine! And I've reason to believe for the past 2 hours, my ISP wasn't the culprit. .. this time it was on my end.Now - on Natty - I manually configured the connection (Instead of DHCP) to be greeted with the familiar Connection Established prompt from notify-OSD.

I know there are tons of help guides out there for this, and I have looked at and tried them all. I am trying to do something really simple, and just can't seem to get it working. I have been trying on and off for the better part of a week now, with not much luck. What I am tyring to do is have a Ubuntu 10.10 server serve out DHCP addresses and be the DNS for the local network. The local network will have no internet access, so it only needs to know the names of the local server. My network setup is as follows:
1: Windows Vista web server
2: Ubuntu DHCP3 and BIND server to give IP's and resolve local names.
3: A bunch of tablet computers connected via dhcp to the network, that need to access the web server on the Windows machine.
I have DHCP working nicely, but it fails to propagate the hostnames to the tablet computers. Unfortunately I need this to work, as the tablets do not have the capability of having a 'hosts' file.I have tried just about every self-help guide I can find, and just can't seem to get this work. Everything seems to work fine except for the name resolution. Any help would be great, I don't have that much hair left to pull out!

I recently bought a used Server (FSC RX200 S4) and set it up running Debian 7. Being used to Ubuntu, that was no big deal. It works as it should out of the box. This magic computing machine has four Network cards (eth0 - eth3). Now, I want to set it up as a multi-purpose server. On the one hand, it shall provide a Apache2 webserve, a SQL Server, a File/Streaming Server and so on. I have no problems setting up these.
On the other hand, it should work as a DHCP server in my local lan with some PCs and a printer/scanner. Until now, my cheap router did that job including to connecting me to the internet. Since I can't really set up a proper firewall with that box, I want to use my server for that.
Thats's my desired setup I want to achieve:
[] Router provides internet connection to Server
--> cable goes into eth0
[] Server therefore has a internet connection
--> Some internal magic routes the internet from eth0 to eth1 (preferably as a iptables setup) and does the Firwall & DHCP Service
--> cable goes from eth1 to a switch
--> switch connects the PCs and printer
[] PCs have internet and I can use the printer
So far so good, here's what I've come up with. I installed dnsmasq and isc-dhcp-server. I got some config files for both. I got a script to set up my iptables
Iptables script:
Code: Select all#!/bin/sh
#
# rc.firewall
# firewall with iptables ... stronger version
#
FWVER=0.88s
echo -e "
Loading STRONGER rc.firewall - version $FWVER..
[CODE].....
When starting up the services, I don't see any errors. Still, it doesn't work. My Server loses its internet connection and the PCs connected to the network are unreachable.

I have a ClarkConnect (CentOS based) box running as my home router on a RR connection. I had the DNS servers set up to use Google's DNS server. I want to change them back to the local DNS servers but I can't find an obvious/easy way to get those address short of a) reconfiguring the router's network to DHCP them (would rather not interrupt everyone) or b) calling their tech support (kill me now!). Is there a command line tool/command I can use to query the DHCP server on the external NIC to see what DNS servers it would set me up with w/o munging my existing setup?

I have some beginner questions about DHCP, Avahi, and configuring a small home LAN.Suppose I have a dynamic IP address assigned by my ISP, which requires DHCP be enabled in my dsl modem/router/"firewall" [sic]. Suppose for simplicity I have just one PC behind the dsl modem.I think "enabling DHCP" in the modem/router means that a DHCP client runs on the router, which communicates with a DHCP server run by my ISP when I boot up a PC on my LAN. Is that guess correct? Can I get DHCP to assign a particular local IP, say 192.168.1.10 (which is not the one taken by the router--- for this discussion, let's say that is 192.168.1.0) to my PC each time I boot it up?
Now suppose I want to build a stand-alone firewall, so that my LAN will have the firewall and the first PC behind the modem, with the first PC virtually behind the firewall. By default, I think these will both have DHCP clients running which I need to configure properly. The firewall should also have a DHCP server which should control how local IP addresses are assigned, correct? I should try to arrange that the LAN has only DHCP server, only one NTP timeserver, only one DNS nameserver, correct?My first PC seems to have installed an autorun client called Avahi, which performs DNS multicast services and incorporates something called zeroconf which seems to have something to do with remote desktops, which I don't need and which is a potential security hazard. But it seems that Avahi is an intrinsic part of the KDE desktop and cannot be removed. Just want to be sure that Avahi can coexist comfortably with dhcp3-client, which is also installed on that PC. They perform different tasks, correct?If I can get the stand-alone firewall to work, I know I need to turn off the commercial firewall in the dslmodem/router/firewall device. Should I purchase a bridge and try to turn off the routing function also?

I wanted to be able to have separate NICs with separate IPs connecting to separate gateways on a machine so I could put an ftpd on each one. I tried binding an ftpd to each, and running separate instances of the ftpd. I tried virtual hosts.
NOTHING worked. I could either use one ftpd or the other. I could either connect via ssh on one IP or the other. the second I turned one NIC off stuff would work again. I messed with basic iproute commands, andnothng worked until I got this script to run, which allowed me to use each NIC independant of the other.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#ip route flush all
ip route del default dev eth1
ip route del default dev eth0
ip route del table 1
ip route add table 1 to default via 10.10.10.1 dev eth1
code....
But now, samba client doesn't work. cifs mounting doesn't work either. It can't connect.
BEFORE I ran that script, I could connect via ssh, or to the ftpd running on the machine using a LOCAL IP - 10.10.10.2. AFTER, I have to use the external IP, or I cannot connect. I know that has something to do with it, but I do not have the advanced linux routing knowledge to redo the script or come up with a solution.

I may be missing something very easy here, but I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit (I have also tried 10.04 32 bit) and I cannot connect to my windows machines. I can't connect by going to the network window, or by connect to server via ip. Basically, I can see the windows machines but then I double click it, and it asks for the credentials. I'm the admin of all of the machines, and I only have one login to my windows machine, which is my name First Last. I am entering this, and my password (which I'm sure is correct) and click "Connect". It thinks for maybe a half second, then presents me a blank credentials box, wanting me to start over.
I can connect to my Macbook without any troubles.
I'm using an Acer AspireRevo 1600, wired connection.

I have Ubuntu Server 10.04 running as a samba server and a VPN server using PPTPD. I am trying to connect two users to the VPN, which I am running Windows Ultimate on one, and Windows Home Premium.
Connecting to the VPN server from any location, I get an error 619 on the windows machines, and I have googled for what feels like days about the error and can't find a working solution. I look in the /var/log/messages file and see:
Plugin /usr/lib/pptpd/pptpd-logwtmp.so loaded.
pppd 2.4.5 started by root, uid 0
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1

Exit.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Having finally got Samba shares and printer shares working on my Lucid Lynx server, I've noticed that the throughput from/to those shares is very slow to what I was used to when I had those shares on a W2K server.Having Googled this problem, I noted that there was a known issue with this in Karmic (believe Brian Wu was looking at it). However, I don't see any results in Google as to this being a problem in Lucid.
I know ipv6 can cause a problem in this regard but having issued the command:
lsmod | grep inet6
I know that ipv6 is indeed disabled on my Lucid server. Any further information on whether the error reported in Karmic still applies in Lucid, and can this be addressed in any way?

At first I thought the Delay was normal. After looking around it seems that it's not true. I made a post here. The Problem seems to be related to DNS.
The Server in Question is not Online (as in on the web), all machines are on local ethernet. From What I understand DNS is to mask the IP like a named variable for each IP. I am still figuring out the ins and outs of a linux server. DNS is something I have little or no grasp over. So I need help in setting up the DNS for this scenario case. All guides I have seen seem to be for web servers which is where I stop reading and look for other guides. I have webmin and Bind9 installed on the server.
