Ubuntu :: Connecting 2 Computers Via Crossover?
May 9, 2010
I'm trying to connect 2 Ubuntu computers with a crossover cable (ethernet). I found the following thread:
[URL]
Its says to go to:
1. In System > Preferences > Network Connections
and under IPv4 tab, change Method to Link-Local Only.
The problem for me is I'm using Xubuntu 9.04 (on 1 of them) and I don't have "Network Connections". Is there a way to get this utility in Xubuntu 9.04 so I can set the method to 'Link local only' ?

I tried to connect two ubuntu computers via crossover network. But sometimes they can connect and see each other and even ping each other and sometimes not!
Each time, each of my PC's can ping it's own IP address but may not ping the other PC. I tried to disconnect cable, reconnect, disable network, enable it again, change IP address, disconnect via Network Manager Applet, reconnect and... . But when one of them don't want to connect I can't do this anyway!
Anyone knows what must be the problem? Sometimes it took about many seconds to get them connected, and sometimes they can't connect for many hours.
I must add that I have an ADSL modem on one of two Ubuntu PCs that connect via another cable.

Here is the setup I have. Two debain (squeeze machines) A1(eth0,192.168.33.1, netmask 255.255.255.0) and B1(eth0,192.168.43.1, netmask 255.255.255.0). They both have 3 nics'. So I am trying to connect to each other with a crossover cable and I have added the routes manually. eg: on machine A1 route added was
route add -net 192.168.43.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.33.2 eth1
and on machine B1
route add -net 192.168.33.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.43.2 eth1
For project purposes they both have to be on different networks, evn thouhg they are in same room.

I have dell dimension 4700 I installed slackware 12.2 onto with the of making it a headless home network jukebox that I could ssh into and control via a crossover cable.From other posts I've seen, it looks like I just need to set up the IP addresses under the same netmask, and can use ssh then. On the slackware machine, it does not seem to recognize an eth device.
Code:
# dmesg | grep eth
Driver 'st' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
[code]....

trying to create a "local network" by directly connecting an IBM Thinkpad with Debian Linux installed on it to an Alix computer running Voyager Linux. I'm following a "how to" I found to create a music server, hence the requirement. My issue is I can't get a static IP address to be configured on the Debian machine.I've trawled the net and have found the instructions about editing the /etc/network/interfaces and have tried to do this. First I tried to get DHCP working so I could connect the Debian machine to the net and this proved successful. I edited the interfaces file to look as follows:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Then I tried adding a static IP address to the machine. As this is a network purely between two machines I made up the IP addres and used 192.168.0.1 and used a NetMask calculator to give me a NetMask of 255.255.255.254 (I told the calculator there would be 2 machines on the network). I then edited the interfaces file as follows:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
[code]....
I re-booted the machine (ifdown eth0 followed by ifup eth0 keeps saying that eth0 hasn't been configured - a problem there that I don't understand), but during boot up time it failed to assign the Static IP address to eth0 and made me go into SU mode. To fix it I simply replaced the interface file with the static IP inputs with the file that had the DHCP entries (I'd made a copy of the DHCP file), and re-started the machine. Everthing came up fine. So the first question is how do I get a static IP address to be assigned to eth0 such that whenever I shut down and restart the machine the static IP address is always loaded?
The second question is around creating the network via the cross over cable. From what I've found via Google, all I should have to do is create a static IP address on the Debian machine and a static IP address on the Voyager machine. Once they're connected by the cross over cable they should see each other. Is that correct, or do I have to do anything else?

I have configured Ubuntu 10.04 to work on a Windows XP network that has 2 other XP desktops (wired to same router). Ubuntu sees the icons for each computer in the "network" tab of "places" and can access the shared files 1 of those desktops, no problem, but trying to access the other one gets the error "Unable to mount location-failed to retrieve share list from server" I have checked the XP computers and can't find what may be different about them.

When I try to use Nautilus to connect to another computer on my network, and I attempt to connect using the name of the Windows XP computer I am connecting to, I get the following error; Could not display "smb://computername/". Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server Please select another viewer and try again. However when I attempt to connect using the IP address on the network, it connects instantly. smb://192.168.1.101/ Why doesn't it connect using the computer's name? What am I doing wrong?

I have two computers, a laptop and a workstation, both running linux (Ubuntu and Fedora).For some reasons, it's handier for me to work from the laptop, accessing the workstation only from remote.At present, I have to connect to the workstation using a very complicated system that implies VPN + ssh passing through the internet. It works, but it would be far easier and faster if I could set up a direct connection between the two computers. Unfortunately, I can't use the ethernet ports or wi-fi (it's a long story why, but I really can't).I own a usb data transfer cable, but I don't know how to use it.

So, the only way to have bass is to use PulseAudio and edit daemon.conf to enable-lfe-remixing? Well, damn, but alright. how do I fine-tune low frequency reproduction (since my satellites can't handle anything below 150Hz)?

So i have a Vista desktop wirelessy connected to the router and a laptop running UNR 10.04. I used a Gigaware Cat5e crossover network cable to connect the desktop and laptop, and the lights light up orange so it's responsive i guess. I installed samba and can access my shared files on vista from my laptop but the transfer is 1mb/sec, i was hoping the crossover could help achieve something like 50mb/sec. Which is why i don't think i set it up right at all. How can I connect vista to ubuntu via crossover cables to transfer files?

Ive just installed ubuntu on a small nettop type pc. It can connect to the internet but I want a direct network connection thru gigabit LAN using a crossover (apparently a straight cable would have been sufficient). Anyway, I have no idea where to begin. The network connection manager in Ubuntu shows Autoeth1 which is right and, if I manually set the IPv4 I can get the PCs to somehow see each other and the 7 pc to give a 'network access only' but that's it.

I've been reading too much and understanding too little. What I have: Lucid laptop & desktop. Both have ethernet > hub > internet. What I want: connect them directly by the serial ports so the laptop can access the desktop's drives, and the desktop can be retired from the internet. I've got an old DB-25 null-modem, last used for multiplayer Doom. The laptop's dock has DB-9, so the connections is desktop > null-modem > Belkin DB-25 - DB-9 cable > laptop.
I had hoped this post would get me somewhere:[URL].. No such luck. When I ping 'grin.local', the connection is through the internet. If I disconnect the hub, i cannot ping.
Dunno if there's something more I should do to enable serial connection in Lucid, or if my null-modem is no longer good. I'm also rather curious how "grin.local" manages a connection through my ISP's system. These are DHCP. Shouldn't that have required the full numerical IP?
(It's nothing to do with the hub. Checked that by connecting a third box to the hub. My ISP only hands out two IP. I couldn't ping the third box.)

got a watchguard firebox 1000 here, old tech i know, the manuals/pdfs on their site want me to use a crossover cable for the quick setup and I havent got any at the moment, but I got dozens of normal patch cables and switches. Can I use 2 patch cables on a switch to simulate a crossover cable scenario? If so ... would there be anything extra to do to make that method work? --tia
this thread indicates there is no difference other than what they mention in the thread? confirmation on that? [URL]

I have a desktop running Ubuntu 8.04. I installed 10.04 on my laptop. When I mount my desktop music folder on my laptop and transfer files, they now only go at 100-200 KB/s. When I had 9.10 installed, they transferred at 1-2 MB/s.
This is the command I use to mount the directory:
sshfs matt@169.254.6.233:/home/matt/Music/ /home/matt/Music/desktop/
Is there any way I can speed it up to get it back to max speed?

At the end of installing crossover pro 9.1, I was provided the following message:
Code:
cxmenu:error: unable to parse '/etc/xdg/menus/unity-place-applications.menu': Invalid string in comment field [Ln: 157, Col: 8]
I opened unity-place-applications.menu and looked at that line. Starting with line 155:
Code:
<!-- System Tools-->
[Code]...
I'm guessing that the comment lines that start with just "--" are generating the error. Does anyone know what the section is and what it should look like for the crossover menu items, such as installing windows software?

At the outset I would like to tell everyone that I am still relatively a newbie in linux. I use a usb mobile broadband data card to connect to the internet, and I recently purchased another desktop for my wife. Both of us do not share any files, but I do not have a router and was wondering if I could share my connection with her using a crossover cable.I did a lot of Googling around and tried various different things, I even followed another thread in the same forum but the most that I have got is my network manager saying that connection has been established. I am however not able to see her computer under my windows network and don't know how to proceed.I don't know where I am going wrong, and considering that my knowledge of networking is at below basement level, I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

I have been able to successfully install Acrobat 4 on CrossOver 8.0.0. I recently purchased Acrobat 9, but could not install it. Everything seems to go smoothly except that the serial number is rejected by the Acrobat installer.
1. Has anybody successfully installed a recent version of Acrobat on WINE or CrossOver?
2. What is it about WINE that would interfere with the serial number?
(I successfully installed on WinXP, so I do have a good S/N.)

I use Linux Mint 10 and have been on Linux for about a year now. I'm no expert, but I can sort of find my way around. My problem is that I am not able to set up a LAN and share my internet connection through a crossover cable. I have a USB 3G data card for my internet connection, and getting a router for it is a mite expensive. I have a crossover cable and searching on the net led me to believe that I could do what I want to. The only problem is that I am unable to.I've got two desktops both on the same Mint 10 and when I connect them assign an IP address and gateway, my network manager shows that the connection is up, but I'm not able to ping the other system. I've even exited my firestarter firewall in case that was what was causing the problem, but I've not found a solution as yet.My knowledge of networking is at that dangerous stage where I know very little, but think I know a lot. What I've learnt about networking I've learned over the past one month when looking around for solutions to my problem but my basic understanding leaves a lot to be desired.

I have a home network and I use Samba to share files. Now when I am on the network, I can see the shares just fine, but if I use a crossover cable, I cannot see or access the folders or files.My goal is to use a crossover cable from one computer with clonezilla to my server in order to use Samba to make an image of my workstation and save the image on my server.But everytime I try to connect with clonezilla I get a persmissions error and the share will not mount. I tried going to the shell and mounting as root, but that did not work either.
I have another server which is only a console and it works though I am unsure why. The share though is a mounted usb drive while on the one that does not work, it is on the internal hard drive.I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or anything I could try to narrow down the problem. Oh, I can access the share using ssh, but not samba. One other thing, the shares are set to allow read/write access to everyone so I don't see why I can not access it.

i have an hp pavilion dv7 and am using f13 64bit. my laptop has a built in woofer underneath that i have never been able to get to work. after the latest kernel update today my laptop now has woofer sound. there must be some new support for my laptops audio card. the problem is that it is a little overbearing. how can i a) disable this feature b) tweak the parameters like crossover frequency or gain? edit: i checked the changelog for 2.6.34 and couldn't find any info on any new audio support features.

I have installed 10.04 on both my laptop and my desktop computer. the desktop was pre-installed with 9.10 then upgraded to 10.04, the laptop was pre-installed with 9.04then upgraded to 10.04. There are a few differences in the look of the desktop but the most notable is the fact that the window controls for the desktop are on the left and the windows controls for the laptop are on the right . Any thoughts as to how this happened or what went wrong. Both were upgraded at the same time.
