I just installed my Ubuntu 11.04 alongside with my Windows 7. The only problem I have with my Ubuntu is that it cannot seem to find or connect to any routers. I think it COULD be the drivers that are missing. When I try to use the router I have at home with my Windows 7, (on the same laptop) it works fine. I use a Airport Extreme router.
View 6 RepliesI connect to multiple wireless system each day but when I encounter a Linksys-n router the computer will recognize it and connect but does not go online.
Does this give any clue for why it will not connect?
Code:
802.11a/b/g
System wireless is: Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094 with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g), Ubuntu 10.04
I can connect to unsecure routers, but not to any secure routers. NetworkManager doesn't seem to work and neither does anything else I try. I have tried with WPA supplicant but to be honest I have not a clue what to do. I have an Atheros ar5009 card and I'm currently using the ath9k module. Lan works just fine. But my wireless doesn't.

I have updated everything it seems like, but nothing I do seems to work. I have been at this for almost 3 weeks already hoping for a break and so far nothing.
Every time I start up my Samsung NC10 the wifi doesn't seem to find my wireless router at all and instead tries to connect to my printers network. To solve this I need to disable and re-enable wireless until it automatically connects. I know this isn't exactly a major problem, it's just getting pretty annoying. I'm using Fedora 11 btw.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have so many _wired_ devices that I can't get by with just 4 eth cable outlets anymore, so I thought I'd hook up an older router that I don't use as a way to get extra places to plug devices into.
Now it looks like:
Internet
then cable modem
then router1/wifi + (1 eth NAT storage)
then router2 + 4 eth0 computers:
(legacy FC5 box)
(legacy F11 box)
(updated F13 box)
(windoze)
All of the computers EXCEPT the FC5 box are fine (my def of "fine" is I can ssh to and from the other computers and to outside computers, and browse the web).
The FC5 box, however, can ssh to and from computers inside the network just fine, but can't get any kind of web browsing. Nor can it ping to the outside. I get a "Network is unreachable" error. I'm not using a proxy, not knowingly, and my firewall settings haven't changed...it certainly hasn't been blocking port 80 before.
what's the best way to go about adding more ethernet when you need about 7 cables. I'm not really excited to buy a router with 8 ports or anything like that, especially when this seems to _almost_ be working just fine.
Is there a tutorial for how to set up a wifi connection for complete newbies to openSUSE? My laptop sees other routers, but won't let me connect to mine. I set WEP, HEX, type in the key, and then nothing happens. On the list it says this is unsecured, even though I have selected WEP.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently built my second general-purpose server, and recently installed fedora core 10 on it. The first thing I attempted to set up after installation was the network - and that's where it's gone wrong When editing a network device using the graphical system-config-network utility, I find that the subnet mask is being automatically changed to match the default gateway address every time I attempt to modify any of its settings (or sometimes even when I cancel the changes). This also means that I cannot set the subnet mask, as it simply won't accept my setting for it. I seem to be able to get around this glitch by setting the subnet mask using the shell version of the same utility, but that doesn't solve my network issue.
Even when I use the shell utility to fix the subnet mask, I'm unable to ping other computers or routers on the network even when ifconfig indicates that the desired ip address has been taken, and other computers on the network are also unable to see the server. I'm using a wired connection and a static IP address on a network with no DHCP.
I tried to install vsftpd on my server and while the installation went fine, I can't run
Code:
restart vsftpd
As I the get error
Code:
restart: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Though I'm able to restart the service with
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart with a warning telling me to use the service utility. Not only that, but despite the port being open it won't allow me to log in, it just hangs, and I have local users enabled (I've used the default .conf file). Does dbus not come installed in 10.04, and if I did install it would it make a difference for restarting the service? Are there further steps needed not available in the tutorial on the Ubuntu Server Guide for 10.04 to enabling local user authentication? -edit- Figured it out, dbus wasn't installed, vsftpd is working fine now.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup a dhcp server for my internal network. I have two NICs, a modem, and a wireless router. I have my server connected directly to my modem which is providing me with Internet access on eth1 and is working fine. I have dhcp and dns setup on eth0 which is connected to my router. The router shows that it is connected to the Internet but when the router gives a client computer an IP address, the client is unable to connect to the Internet but can connect to the router. I will post my configuration files below with my current configuration.

I cannot install Kubuntu (or Unbuntu) 10.4 on my husband's computer. I have spent 5 hours on this and cannot get anywhere. I am deeply frustrated. The iso I burned to CD is good (works on 2 other computers). His computer will not boot from USB, no matter what I do to the drive order in BIOS. After loading the blue screen with the Kubuntu logo on it (and the blue-white dots), the screen changes to black and shows the following text:

I just switched from Ubuntu to Fedora 13 because I was unable to get Ubuntu to connect to wireless networks. I tried everything suggested in help and forums, and kept getting "Bad Password" with WICD and Network Manager. Now, with Fedora...I still can't connect.
Problem #1: The guide says to "...make sure that the relevant wireless interface (usually eth0 or eth1) is controlled by NetworkManager," and that I do this via: System>Administration>Network
However, there is no Network option under System>Administration.
Problem #2: I open Network Manager, which displays a list of networks. I click on mine, configure it with WPA and the right password, and it fails to connect: "The network connection has been disconnected."
I couldn't connect my Micromax 300G modem in Debian Linux. From internet (in Windows Vista), I came across the information of USB_ModeSwitch and then I downloaded it. While going to install it, I came across the problem that TCL-interpreter is not available in Debian Linux. Then again I restarted my laptop in Windows Vista and connected my Micromax modem and from internet downloaded TCL8.5.10-src.tar.gz. But while going to install it, I came across the problem that " configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH " . Also as presently, I am unable to connect my modem therefore I am unable to issue the code:" apt-get update ".

When I try to copy a file from a shared folder of other laptop, the whole of data passes through the router.This affects the internet bandwidth within the network. Is there a way to access the shared files without necessarily going through the router and also without affecting the internet connectivity.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy first one is the network: Our routers' ethernet ports are all in use and I cant get one of them. So Im asking you what I need to buy. Our router now is a speedport w701v. The new router should have wlan and good working LAN. It shouldnt be very expensive... give me some tips what I should look for (because Im very new with router...) and maybe give me a link where they tested many routers (and where I can trust the results).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 routers both with 5 network cards (both different subnets). On both machines I have the following configuration: Eth0 is the internet conection, Eth1 is the conection to the other router and the other network cards are for the subnets.My current Ip tables script allows all the subnets of one router to see each other but not the subnets of the other router.
In the new situation I want not all but specific subnets to see each other (no problem here)The issue is that some of theese subnets are subnets of the other router. For example the subnet of eth2 router1 should be able to connect to eth 3 on router2. This is were eth1 comes in play. My plan was to configure iptables so that in above example eht2 would be forwarded to eth1, which will forward to eth1 on router2.Then the iptables configuration on router2 will forward it to the network card of the correct subnet.
eth2 (router1) -> eth1 (router1)
eth1 (router1) -> eth1 (router2)
eth1 (router2 -> eth3 (router2)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 6to4 tunnel running on Ethernet (subnet 2002:ad4c:16cc:1) without problem. It runs radvd and announces a default route back to the Internet like this: "default via fe80::6a7f:74ff:fe0a:fbec dev br0"
On this same Ethernet I have a Linux plugbox (fe80::225:31ff:fe01:cc) which is a gateway to a network of IPv6 enabled sensors. I've assigned this second subnet 2002:ad4c:16cc:2. How do I get the plugbox to announce "2002:ad4c:16cc:2 via fe80::225:31ff:fe01:cc" so that the hosts on the Ethernet (2002:ad4c:16cc:1) will automatically pick up the route? The route works if I add it to the boxes manually. I've tried getting radvd on the plugbox to do this but I've had no success.
I have a modem connected to my router (pfsense on 192.168.1.1) which is then connected to a wireless AP (192.168.1.253). A number of PCs pick up the wireless and all is well.I've just received another broken PC that I've kicked into life and was going to run a FreeNAS box with it to back up a number of the PCs on the network. I've actually hooked this up via ethernet to my "server" PC (192.168.1.125 on its wlan NIC). Its all set up so that the server eth NIC (10.42.43.1) is connected to the FreeNAS box (10.42.43.2) and the FreeNAS box can ping both interfaces of the server, the router and the net, and any other box on the 192.16.1.x network. The problem is that I can't for the life of me get any of the 192 boxes to ping the FreeNAS box. I'm presuming its a routing / gateway issue with the server box but being pretty damn hopeless with these things I've been stumbling about breaking things.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy boss gave me the task (on a very tiny budget) of wanting to connect our remote offices to our network. Solution I came up with is Site-to-Site VPN.
I want to use OpenVPN on the Linksys Routers (again very tiny budget) and have them connect to our Cisco ASA5505 Firewall, but I am running into major problems.
Question is, even though they both use IPSec SSL are they compatible? If not, is there a work sround?
So I have 3 home routers, 1 belkin and 2 netgear. I have my ISP internet connection coming into my belkin, which I then have the 2 netgear routers (from their WAN) plugged into Belkins LAN ports. Now the Ubuntu computers I have on Netgear LAN 1 and Netgear LAN2 can get to Belkin just fine (at 192.168.1.1), but I am unable to access a computer on LAN1 from a computer on LAN2 and vice-versa. My Belkin is 192.168.1.1, my Netgear1 WAN is 192.168.1.100 and Netgear2 WAN is 192.168.1.200. I have the netgears both assigning DHCP IP's from range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.150 on their LAN ports.
Now, I have set Netgear LAN1 port 80 NAT'd to go to one of my computers on it. I try to access 192.168.1.100:80 from a computer on Netgear LAN2 network and it say host unreachable.What am I doing wrong?
