Ubuntu :: Getting Internet To Work - Network Card Not Recognised?
Aug 20, 2010
I have just set up a server with Ubuntu Server edition 10.04. I installed it by plugging the harddrive into my main pc as the server doesn't have a cd drive. Now the drive is back in the server and the internet won't work. I have run lspci and lshw and neither show a lan or network card anywhere. ifconfig comes up with nothing related to eth0, and says the 'inet addr' is 127.0.0.1. My motherboard has an onboard Realtek 8101L LAN controller. Can't seem to find much with a google search
I've recently put Ubuntu 11.04 onto an unused server with the plan of converting it into just a standard desktop PC, however it was lacking some of the basic components. After a struggle I managed to get an old Nvidia graphics card to work nicely and I bought a ?2 USB sound card from ebay and I've had no luck whatsoever in even getting it recognised.When plugged into windows the information given about the device is 'Generic USB Audio'I've restarted after each time I've tried to fix the issue and I've been mucking around a bit with ALSA following instructions from every forum post I could find but with no success
I'm running FC 12, on a Pentium III PC. This has a 440BX motherboard with an AWE64 Gold ISA card. It wasn't recognised at boot up, I've installed the GUI ALSA mixer, inisitally it shows no sound device.Searching around the forums stumbled across the command:modprobe snd-sbaweThis one line command worked fine (no errors), enabled the volume control, and ALSA mixer GUI gave loads of nice sliders. Pushing these up I found that basic sound was working fine (eg playing Flash video within Firefox). I don't need any other features of the AWE64 right now (might like MIDI port one day).
However, each time I reboot the system it forgets, and I have to run the comand again (and tweak up the volume in the mixer, particularly for PCM).I tried adding a file called awe64 in /etc/init.d, with the contents:
#!/bin/bash #modprobe snd-abawe
(and chmod +x awe64) but this doesn't seem to get run, or has no effect.I tried adding a file to /etc/modprobe.d but this just gave errors - I think this is the right approach though.What should I do please?
I've just put together a Centos 5.2 system using an old Future Domain SCSI card which would allow me to hook up an external DAT drive. On its BIOS screen it advertises itself as an AHA-2920 which should be handled by the aic7xxx module. However, the module doesn't even get loaded unless I force it in /etc/rc.modules and even then it doesn't pick up the card.
After forgetting my wifi router password, I had to reset and reconfigure the router. I enabled WEP, and after I typed the password, the computer now recognises it automatically. But I can't connect to the internet no matter how long I wait. (The wired internet connection works fine.) How can I get the wifi to connect to the internet?
In short: browsing the internet with domain names does not work. The long version: I've configured my network with DHCP and ifup. Ping works on my internal net and with servers in the internet. Dig work's too! I get the right IP to the requested domain. When i try to access the internet using firefox or even wget i get an DNS error. For example wget is showing the following error: Resolving heise.de... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address 'heise.de'
Again dig show me the right IP and if i add the entry to /etc/hosts it work's too! I've even tried it with manually setup of ip address, nameserver and default gateway but with the same result. Switching off the firewall has no effect on this problem, too.
I install from openSUSE-11.3-NET-x86_64.iso. Installation was succesfull, but after install all packet on test internet / update was error. And after log in in installed system internet not work. I use router with DHCP
I have a second network card in my ubuntu desktop that I have sharing my internet connection with a wireless router. I have set the router to a static ip address within the network cards range. But, every time I restart the computer, the network card uses a different ip address. One time it will be 10.42.43.1, the next time it will be 10.42.46.1, ect. This makes me have to hard reset my router every time it does this. How can I set the network card to use the same ip address all the time?
My problem is similar to this one [URL] and I've already tried some of the steps, to no final resolution.The OS in question: Ubuntu 11.04 64 bitProblem hardware: Intel Ethernet 82567V-2 network card[URL]I've already installed the latest driver using the README instructions (sudo make install, etc).The network card will connect ONLY to my Linksys router but not even to my Motorola cable modem, even when it's directly connected to the modem ! I cannot get any web pages at all outside of my LAN, only my Linksys configuration page on my router.As I said above, I've already tried most of the steps in that forum post above. I'm going back to retrace my steps to see what else I can do
I recently purchased a Micromax 3g GSM usb data card(MMX 352G). I am using it in windows 7 but now I want it to connect to the Opensuse 11.3 to use internet.
This modem is not detected by the command "wvdialconf"
the device is detected by command "lsusb" as 1c9e:9605
I'm using ubuntu karmic and I'm not able to connect to the internet with my reliance netconnect data card using network manager. Other distros like fedora, opensuse n sabayon connected easily with nm. Ubuntu detects the data card flawlessly but just doesnt connect.This problem has been persistent even in previous ubuntu versions, n I used to use wvdial. But downloading wvdial on some other comp with every dependency is really cumbersome.
I'm trying to activate a wireless network on an ubuntu server 10.04. The machine has a TPLink PCI wireless card. Card is well recognized, and scanning for wireless connection it finds correctly the essid of the access point in the room. But when I try:
Code: $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "apoint" key s:my_key_8 this error is returned: Code: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.I looked for similar situations over many forums, and I found that it could be the card doesn't support the encryption type (My AP uses WPA with TKIP). However if I use an ubuntu desktop live CD on the same machine, I can connect witouth any problem with NetworkManager 0.8.
I swited network cards because the card i was using wouldn'tlip, and the cable kept falling out. Now, the internet doesn't work. They're Both Dlink cards, but they might be diffrent models. The lights on the card are on, but I'm not gettin internet. Is their any command I can use to automatically reconfigure the network/card
I've been using Slackware distribution for few years now, Setup new system with Xen Server 5.5 and installed Slackware 13 on it, but network card is not detected and can't seem to make it work.
I can't get wake up on lan (wol) to work on my network card.The strange thing is that before I had it working with the exact same hardware. But I was on Centos 5.4 then. Now I am on Centos 5.5.Am I correct in concluding that the sky2 driver does not support wake up on lan?
Wireless card detected but cannot connect to a wireless network
I have install it suse 11, and everything went well until the wireless thing is not working, my card is Broadcom BCM4318, I see my card on the network settings but I cannot configure the card, and also I cannot connect to a wireless network, can someone tell me what to do here, I am loosing my patient....
I had work well with opensuse 11 and the internet also work well but when I turn off my computer and then use the XP and work with it. I find out the connection with the internet doesn't work in the opensuse 11. I made a repair and format to opensuse 11 but without any change the net still doesn't work.
CPU Pentium4 Motherboard Gigabyte intel 945 S-series Dial up connection I have no experience with opensuse.
i installed suse (KDE) on my old notebook and now I'm trying to get the wlan to connect to our router and can't figure out how to get it to work. My card seems to work, the network manager even finds the router, but i just cant get a connection. I followed the steps of the "Getting Your Wireless to Work" thread and these are the results:
[Code]....
- i messed around a bit with the network settings and might have cluelessly broken something (or broken it more)
- i tried a usb-wlan-card as an alternative, which didn't work either, but could possibly have messed things up even more.
My friend has 2 pcs, one connected to the internet and the other one used to connect (when he had windows installed) to the internet through the first one using internet sharing, now i installed ubuntu on both and the network between them has been created but it wont connect, the internet icons just animates for like a minute then says "wired internet disconnected" in other words it failed to connect.
I have installed openSUSE KDE 11.3 on my notebook. Everything looks great, but I can't connect on internet. It looks like dhcp don't work. Wireless works fine, only auto eth0 don't work.
After i install it i lost my internet connection . i got a message " Wired Network " " you work offline ". i use cable ADSL ,.... my Pc information HP Pavilion 6700 running with both Window 7 & Ubuntu 10.10 note... my network connection work correctly on W7.
I just have CentOS installed and cannot get the Agere et131x network card to work.I have tried the following:Reboot the computer and still did not see the network hardware.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Server. I can't get my Wireless Card & Wired Card to work at the same time. My interfaces file is incorrect, when I comment out 1 of the interfaces the other works. I have attached my interfaces file.
I have the "Work Offline" problem: when I boot up, the icon on the toolbar tells me I have "No network connection". This is not quite true, since I can access the first page of any website - only subsequent pages are inaccessible. I get a message saying that Firefox is offline. However, when I uncheck "Work Offline" in the File menu, it makes no difference to this behavior.
The problem is on my Ubuntu Dell desktop, which is connected to the internet with cable broadband via a D-Link router (wired connection). It has worked fine up till now. I use Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 3.6.11. I am writing this on my Ubuntu Dell laptop which is wired to the same router, so I assume the problem is not the router. I have tried various strategies suggested in threads on these forums, including editing about:config, changing "allow" to "deny" in some lines of /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf and changing from Automatic (DHCP) to Automatic (DHCP) Addresses only, but no luck so far. The contents of ifconfig are:
If I comment out "auto eth0" as well, it makes no difference. If I uncomment both lines ("auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp") then I lose the internet connection altogether.
my wireless home network is not recognized by my network card (RealTek RTL8190 mini PCI). The post was as follows: "I am using a new computer with Windows 7 , Athlon quad core 2.60 64 bit, 8GB RAM. Internet conection works fine with ethernet but ubuntu does not see my wireless network. card (RealTek RTL 8190 ID: 10ec:8190). Have searched this forum but unable to come up with a fix. I was looking for windows XP drivers to use Ndiswrapper but could not find a list of .inf files. My network is OK and works perfectly in windows and with my 2 laptops. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Additional info: install was done within Windows using WUBI to a separate partition on my HDD. I am new to this and thouroughly confused as to the procedure for installing the drivers if they are in fact available."
I am very frustrated in that I would like to use Ubuntu 10.04 but it is useless without internet connectability. I am new to linux and do not understand where to get the appropriate drivers or how to install them. I wish someone would answer this post and either give me a clue what to do or just say "give up" and uninstall ubunutu.
I've installed the Ubuntu 10.04 Server onto a PPC G4 Mac just for the experience of setting up a server. During the installation process Ubuntu couldn't auto-configure my DHCP Network. I'm using the airport card on a wireless network. How can I manually configure the network once Ubuntu is installed.
