Ubuntu :: Cannot Install Without Internet Access?
Mar 13, 2010
I am about to setup my WLAN which sadly isn' that easy. I have followed some instructions which use the wpa_supplicant for the WPA setup and router connecting. In this example the tutor uses a -Dmadwifi flag. Well, I am sure this works for many users, but obviously that madwifi is not MY wlan driver. So, actually my quite simple question: how can I find out my driver's name?
btw: wlan works, I succesfully connected to a non wpa/unsecure wlan router (I can't use it for surfing though. Trying -Dwext made the wpa_supplicant at least try to connect but without success. Well, maybe that isn't my driver either? Grepping for wext in /etc or dmesg to see if it actually IS didn't show me anything.
Also, I do not have hwinfo installed which is said to yield drivernames. Certainly, I cannot install it without internet access. So what can I do?

I have a linux box (fedora) with two ethernet cards eth1 and eth2. On eth1 I successfully configured a PPPOE internet connection. Such that from the server I can browse the internet. On eth2 I wired it to a wireless router essentially to provide the wireless cloud. On eth2 I also configured dhcp, such that the Linux box is both PPPOE and DHCP server.However my clients on the LAN cannot access the Internet.
On passing the routing command I get
Destination Gateway Iface
196.44.x.y 0.0.0.0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 eth2 (my subnet)
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ppp0.
The router (functioning as a wireless access point mainly) has a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.2 and eth2 has IP address 192.168.1.1. The dhcp file running on Linux has been set with option router (Gateway) 192.168.1.1. I cannot figure out how to correctly set the routing table such that my clients on wireless can access the internet cloud. I googled and googled but no solid solution. Any suggestions?

I have just installed openSUSE 11.3 Linux on my USB External HDD. I am using fast internet connection and I am able to use it fluently in Windows XP. But not able to do so with openSUSE 11.3. As far as I know there should be a tray icon for N/W but its also not shown. And when I start N/W manager it states that n/w manager is already running.

First time user who has just picked up a nice old Sony netbook to give Debian a try on. Only problem is, this little thing doesn't come with any form of Ethernet card or port, and has to rely on a USB D-link DWA 140 B1 Rev Dongle. This device identifies itself as the Type RT2870 device and when i do "lsusb", it comes out as RALink RT2870. Running the CD install of Lenny, Kernel 2.6.26-2-686, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this damn Wireless card working.
The Wiki tells me to look into Upping the kernel to 2.6.32, which unfortunately requires some form of internet access for the backports Also consulted and tried (unsuccessfully, the make command would not run properly) this guy's advice: [URL].... Do any of you kind people have any advice or things for me to try to finally figure out how to get this little laptop online?

I have a wireless card that needs the Broadcom B4311 Rev. 1 driver but I don't have a way to download that driver since I don't have wireless access since the driver isn't installed. I'm running Linux Mint Debian x64.

I work for AT&T and our Windows-centric workgroup is being tasked with supporting an app running on RedHat. To help my coworkers, I'm building a Fedora 11 VM that we can play with to familiarize ourselves with the UNIX environment.
Because of corporate network policies in place, my VM can't get access to the Internet.
Since we're AT&T employees, we're naturally using the korn shell on the production system. I'd like to install the korn shell on my VM. However, it doesn't appear to be part of the base fedora repository.
Is the korn shell available for Fedora? If so, how would I copy it to shiny media, mount it on my VM, and install it?

Installing from Live USB: Installing from USB on my desktop (used this method for laptop install) goes without a hitch. EXCEPT, I notice there is no support for my wireless card chipset (Atheros 7413, used /bin/lspci to find). I download the drivers for Linux, but I need Make to build the drivers...ok. I download the Make files from my laptop, make coffee, slap the makefiles onto a flash drive and run the configure file on my desktop version of SUSE. Whoops, need a c compiler (odd that openSUSE did not come with gcc? bit confused on that). If you can't tell by now, I've been using linux for less than a month so I am what you would call a noob? After the lack of c compiler, I drove to my office to snag some DVDs to download the DVD iso image, hoping it would have some form of c compiler/make packaged, since the description does say the DVD has more software (can't find any prebuilt versions of either...?)
Installing from DVD: This was my next step. I wrote the iso image to a DVD and proceeded to boot from DVD. The installer fails at the system analysis, saying it cannot "create a repository". writing the iso to a second DVD produces the same result. Googling has not yielded a solution. tl;dr can't use openSUSE on my desktop because my wireless chipset is not suported by SUSE. I need Make to build the drivers, but I need a c compiler to compile Make, and I need the internet to get both for my machine.

At some point, the install process asks whether to test internet access. I replied Yes, and the test failed. Retries also failed, leading me to conclude, mistakenly, that the ethernet card was not supported by SuSE 11.2. Finally I elected to skip the test, resigned to the loss of internet access. The install program then proceeded to access online repositories without difficulty, and I had no further difficulty accessing the internet. So why the misleading test result?

I need to install Trac on a server that's on a private development VLAN (no internet access). Obviously Trac needs to go out over the internet to download/install various things. Does anyone know of an RPM or tarball out there that I can use to install Trac without being connected to the net?

I managed to configure my W890i phone to get access to internet through an ubuntu-based computer. It's very easy to use the phone to give internet access to the computer, but the opposite is quite more tricky. For that I've done the following
----On the phone---
-Set the USB network option to "through computer", so that the phone uses the computer's internet connection and not the opposite.
-Decide and set "Shared Network" parameters: user, pasword and workgroup.
-In "conectivity-> internet connection" set "allow local network" to "yes"
----On Ubuntu 10.04---
-Install samba, samba-client, smbfs, smbclient, firestarter and dhcp3-server
-Configure Samba (System-> Administration-> Shared folders): same workgroup as in the phone, add new user (the phone), passwd this new user. In my case the user was called "w890i" and the password given was the same.
-Once the phone is connected to the computer through USB (then select "phone mode"), a new connection appears in NetworkManager: usb0.The aim is to create a shared network that gives internet access to this device. Edit the IPv4 parameters of this new connection, set them to Manual and give an IP adress (192.168.0.1) and a subnet mask (255.255.255.0); the rest of the fields are left empty.Connect this network.
-Set firestarter to use dhcp3: sudo ln -sf /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server /etc/init.d/dhcpd
-Launch firestarter and follow the wizard. Set "allow internet shared connection", choose the device for the primary internet access, and then the device for the shared network (usb0). Then change the settings for firestarter: activate DHCP for local network, set IP to the one we gave before (192.168.0.1).
-Open dhcp3-server config file sudo gedit /etc/default/dhcp3-server And set INTERFACES="usb0"
-Set the policies of firestarter: in incoming connections, allow connections from the IP adress given to the phone (192.168.0.1). Then add rules for the ports that need to be open for this connection. I opened HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, IMAPS, DHCP for all the connections in the local network.
-Apply policies and start the firewall.
------------
After all this, the phone can access the internet through the computer. Two problems appeared:
1. I couldn't get access to https sites, like webmails. The phone gave a "communication error". But then I tried with Opera instead of the browser built in the phone's firmware, and I could finally get to https sites.
2. I couldn't retrieve mail, neither POP nor IMAP nor IMAPS. I thought it was a firmware problem again, and I tried out several mobile phone email clients written in java, but none of them worked.
So this is at the moment the problem. If I connect from the phone to the internet directly through 3G, the email clients work for all my accounts. I don't think it's a firewall problem, because the ports are opened for this connection

I installed 11.3amd64 as a VM under Vista/VMWare Player - all worked fine. I have now installed it as a physical system. It nstalled cleanly BUT during first boot it could not access the repos. With each repo it gave the message
- download (curl) error for (repo)
- error code connection failed
- error message could not resolve host (repo)
This was followed by a message box containing
- UI syntax error
- no widget with ID 'contents
Firefox could not access the internet (cannot find server) until I disabled IPV6 (I used about:config), now it works fine. I think the repos problem is because of IPV6 - I usually have trouble with IPV6. I tried disabling IPV6 with the following (How To Disable ipv6 on SuSE Linux | Linux Poison)

I have an old FC2 box running Squid version 2.5. It has been running since 2003 so I am in the process of replacing it. I have a new machine with FC11, iptables, and Squid 3.0 installed.
On the old machine I use iptables to intercept Port 80 traffic and send it to Squid. By default I block all internet access and allow only sites that are in an Allowed_Sites.txt file. Within Squid I also have statements to allow certain users to bypass Squid based on their IP address.
I have set up the same thing on the new box. I have iptables intercepting the Port 80 traffic and sending it to Squid. That is working because if I remove the redirect statement from iptables all internet access is blocked.
The problem I am having is that Squid is not blocking any websites. It acts like the ACL is set to http_access allow all. I have worked on this for several hours and am stumped.
These are my Squid rules:
acl allowed_sites url_regex "/etc/squid/Allowed_Sites.txt"
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32
acl SSL_ports port 443
acl CONNECT method CONNECT
http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager
http_access allow Bypass_Users
http_access deny !Safe_ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24
http_access allow allowed_sites
http_access allow our_networks
http_access deny all
icp_access deny all
htcp_access deny all
http_port 192.168.1.254:3128 transparent

Problem: Using ubuntu 9.04 64 bit, attempted to install wireless card to desktop. Wasn't able to get wireless to work, now LAN isnt working.
I am unable to use the internet from the desktop (mozilla, update, ping, etc) BUT the strange thing is that I can NX nomachine into my desktop.
This boggles my mind, I can get in via the Nx but am unable to get out. So I know my lan card is working.
Question: I must have changed a setting when I was goofing around with the wireless install (via network, network tools). Is there a way to 'flash' my network back to fresh install? In other words, how do I restore it to its previous unconfigured setting.

I have installed UBUNTU 9.04 as dual boot with XP. But I can't access internet through it because (I assume) UBUNTU has no driver for my USB ADSL Modem(PROLINK H9601).
I have surfed the web and yet got no relief. I even wrote to the Prolink vender and they to confirmed that they yet don't have any drivers for ubuntu.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 onto a machine a few weeks ago, and that machine had internet access, so it was easy to run these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo apt-get install portmap
But now I need to install Ubuntu onto a machine with no internet access. How will I be able to install openssh-server and portmap?

Note: Not upgraded yet, still using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.Recently I've had a strange problem with my internet connection. When downloading something I am unable to use the internet with other net clients. An example, this morning I was downloading a very large set of backup files from an online server where I store backups. The files totalled 1.5 GB and I was downloading them using a SFTP client called FileZilla - during the download I was UNABLE to access the internet using Firefox, pages did not load at all - NOT slowly, but NOT at all, the "can't find the server" message was displayed by Firefox.LikewiseThunderbird was not able to check/download email. Confirmation that no internet access (other than FileZilla) was possible was shown by trying to 'ping google.com', the response "ping: unknown host google.com". During all this FileZilla was downloading very happily and quickly and as soon as the downloads finished everything worked as normal.
The problem is not limited to FileZilla, when downloading a file with Firefox the same problem occurred. It is as if when downloading something all other net connections are put on hold including DNS lookups. In the past my internet connection might slow down as a result of downloading but I'd still be able to access the web and email just slower as a result of the download. This problem has only started happening in the last week or thereabouts.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 today on my laptop (I installed it alongside Windows 7).
My problem is that I'm unable to access the internet; actually, I'm unable to access any wireless connection at all.
I'm using a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (2.4 GHz) in my laptop.
From what I've read, normally, many wireless cards are detected by Ubuntu automatically when you install it. However, this did not happen with my card.
...So, I'm not really sure what to do in order to gain access to the internet.

I've got VPN setup and working on my server. I can VPN into the server and access my local network from anywhere. It uses pptpd for it. My problem is that I can't access the internet once I'm connected to my VPN. Is it possible to allow internet access through VPN?I mainly would just like to be able to connect, access my local network, and still browse the internet. Is there anything specific I need to change?

I can access dirac.org from inside my network; I can't access it from outside my home network. Apache is running on a Ubuntu box named "satan": 192.168.0.2 and I'm testing it from a MS Windows machine named "lucifer": 192.168.0.3. My ISP is optimum online, which does not filter port 80.
0. router
The router is a Netgear WNDR3700. All computers on my LAN receive their IP addresses via DHCP, but I've reserved all the IP addresses, so they are essentially static (satan is always 192.168.0.2, lucifer is always 192.168.0.3, etc). The router is set up to pass packets destined for port 80 to satan (192.168.0.2), which is where Apache runs.
1. tcpdump
Using tcpdump when accessing dirac.org from within the LAN (this is what works):
# tcpdump -i eth0 host ool-18bda2d2.dyn.optonline.net and tcp port 80
ool-18bda2d2.dyn.optonline.net.2826 > satan.www: Flags [S], seq 3934453911, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK], length 0

My suse 10 os is old and not supported any more. I only use my windows xp to write letters and the space in my computer is getting thin. I have a Ubuntu D5427 disk that I am going to install soon into my computer. The only worry I have is how to use Ubuntu to access the Internet.
I had to buy and use an external modem for suse. Does Ubuntu require an external modem?
Does Ubuntu have a special section for configuring a dial-up connection?
