Ubuntu Networking :: Networking Connections Not Listed In Network Manager
Aug 23, 2010
Neither of my wired network connections are listed in the network manager applet. I know that networking seems to be functional since I can ping local devices on the network. I can't resolve DNS names however. I suppose this is because network manager usually handles DNS? I've posted the outputs of various configurations below.
Code:
/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.cfg
# This file is installed into /etc/NetworkManager, and is loaded by
# NetworkManager by default. To override, specify: '--config file'
# during NM startup. This can be done by appending to DAEMON_OPTS in

I have a k3806-z vodafone mobile broadband modem, on ubuntu 10.04. I have added the mobile broadband connection with the network manager wizard. But network manager does not list my connection. I installed usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data. Still nothing. The disc utility tells me it recognises the modem as a cd drive and a storage device. Evidently usb-modeswitch is not working.

I'm getting really tired of using windows, I love ubuntu but theres a big problem. I have a BTHomeHub2 and whats annoying is whenever I goto wireless connections there's only a bt home hub but its not my one. and I have tried connecting to hidden wireless network and nothing worked. I have a desktop pc with a usb plug in BT voyager that picks up the router but it will only find the one down the street not mine. It works fine when using Ethernet.

I've been struggling with this a bit now, and I'm not sure what the problem is. I have a laptop with a BCM4401 Ethernet card as well as a BCM4311 Wireless card. The wireless card works great out of the box, I'm able to connect with it perfectly. The problem is the ethernet card. Here is the situation: The NetworkManager menu doesn't list "Wired Networks" at all (ie. it doesn't say "not managed", it just only lists Wireless networks) Going into Network Connections, there is an "Auto eth0" entry ifconfig shows eth0 (which I assume means NetworkManager isn't managing eth0) I have edited /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf to say managed=true I have edited /etc/network/interfaces to remove any mention of eth0 (all that's left is the "lo" lines) So I'm not sure why eth0 is still showing up when I run ifconfig, and why Network Manager is not managing it. Any ideas?
Edit: Not sure what I did but now ifconfig spits out this:
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1c:26:2c:60:75
inet addr:10.0.1.12 Bcast:10.0.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::21c:26ff:fe2c:6075/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
[Code]...
The MAC address of the "Auto eth0" entry is 00:1C:23:8F:D4:39, the same as the eth1 entry that ifconfig spits out.

I installed a minimal ubuntu (minimal.iso) on a virtual machine (vmware) on my windows pc using following packages:
Code:
sudo apt-get install install gnome-core gdm network-manager-gnome human-theme x11-xserver-utils tangerine-icon-theme gnome-themes-ubuntu ubuntu-artwork jockey-gtk gnome-utils firefox
I'm using the Ubuntu VM as my local http server. It is reachable via ip - so http://IP-ADDRESS works. I also use samba for shared folders... but ubuntu is not listed in my network. What means that i cannot access files from outside the vm. Do I have to install further packages, because "normal" ubuntu distributions are listed in my network connections. Samba packages are correctly installed.

I'm working with a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system with two network interfaces (both Ethernet). I wish to setup this system such that it is simultaneously connected to my local and an OpenVPN network and able direct traffic between the connections depending on what program is sending the traffic. The problem: Under my current OpenVPN configuration all network traffic is directed to the VPN.
My OpenVPN config file (some details omitted)
--remote [gateway ip] # vpn12 load:
--remote [gateway ip] # vpn11 load:
--remote [gateway ip] # vpn15 load:
--remote [gateway ip] # vpn16 load:
[code]....
In practice, I would like OpenVPN to operate out of one of my two network interfaces and leave the other interface connected to the local network. Then by default all network traffic should be directed to my local network unless I specify (on a per program bases) that certain traffic should go though the VPN. These two network connections can (should) stay completely independent of each other and do not need to talk to each other.

Here is the layout of my network:My cable modem plugs into eth0 on my ubuntu server which acts as a firewall (shorewall) and dhcp server to my lan. A dd-wrt access point is plugged into eth1 and then a bridge connecting my xbox360 and another bridge connecting a desktop computer.Everything works pretty well, except a few times a day, my network will just shut down. The wireless on my macbook and my wife's laptop will just shut down, and if my xbox is running, it will lose connectivity. It will be down for maybe a minute or two, and then come back up like nothing ever happened.I never had this problem when I had just a dd-wrt router running everything instead of my server.When I ssh into my server afterwards and run dmesg, this is what I will get:
Code:
[398598.251548] martian source 169.254.1.255 from 169.254.1.33, on dev eth1
[398598.251565] ll header: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:23:69:3d:b1:82:08:00

i've installed ubuntu 11.04 on a friends Asus Eee pc 1005HA netbook. after the installation i tried to connect to the router using wireless, and when i enter the key, it fails to connect, so i tried using an Ethernet cable to connect but that doesn't work either,the network devices on the computer are:
Atheros AR8132 PCI-e fast ethernet controller
Atheros AR 9285 wireless network adapter
It lists the wireless device and the solutions to the problem, however, the solutions seem to be for Ubuntu 10.04 and also 10.10, and im not sure if it will work for 11.04 so far i have been unable to find out anything on the forums about the ethernet

once I updated , there will be no connections to Internet in GUI , while it's available in TUI . So it's wired , huh ? Before upating, it's available both in TUI and GUI, though all the time the network-manager shows no connection , in fact , there is and both GUI and CUI . Now I updated , and it can't access Internet from GUI.

Is there a way to log specific type of network connection with timestamp? I mean, if someone sends a mail through mail server, is there a way the server logs that connection with timestamp?
Example:
2010-03-17 14:10:12 <server>:25 <client1>:<port1>
2010-03-17 14:10:26 <server>:25 <client2>:<port2>
2010-03-17 14:13:09 <server>:25 <client3>:<port3>
2010-03-17 14:15:43 <server>:25 <client4>:<port4>
...

I'm having trouble running 2 network connections on an Ubuntu 10.10 machine. My wireless connection provides my internet access and is assigned the ip 192.168.1.7 My ethernet connection provides access to a separate network containing a nas box/server. The ip address for this is 192.168.5.100 When I am only connected to the wireless network, the internet works fine. However, once I connect to the ethernet network, I lose internet access via browsers and email client I cannot ping external web servers. It doesn't appear to be an ip address conflict so I'm at a loss as to what is causing my internet connection to drop.

I am total newby in Ubuntu 10.04. I have just installed it in my office where I have two networks card one connect to a router giving the internet access and the other connected to the windows based work network providing access to the work network sources. In XP everything works fine as I can keep both connections alive and have the results I want.
However although I don't know how to do it in Ubuntu 10.04. Till now I have setup the first connection directly to my router and I have internet access but I cannot set the other one. Another question is how I can force ubuntu to use the router connection as the default one when I log in.

Since I installed ubuntu 10.04 I dont see my eth0 card in System->Preferences->Network _connections. Everything works fine but it puzzles me. In ifconfig iI just see the eth0, networking seems to be working fine, but it keeps puzzling me. Adding theinterface is no solution: add it and it doesnt show again

All connections on my computer start loading and then hang: it happens when running apt-get update (a few repositories load successfully and then it hangs at a random one) and when loading web pages with the browser (it says "Connecting...", then "Waiting for....", sometimes some part of the page loads, and then it hangs).
This happens both with my wired and my wireless connection. It does not happen on Windows on the same computer.
Any idea on what it might be?

I messed up my Network Connections when I put a different NIC in my computer. Now I just went back to using the old NIC. It shows up in ifconfig, but the GUI Network Connections is blank. When I manually Add the connection back to the GUI Network Connections, the settings are not reflected when doing ifconfig.For example, I change the IP address for eth0 in GUI Network Connections, save the settings,

I have a bunch of Ubuntu boxes on one subnet, 192.168.1.0. I have a Windows 7 box on another subnet, 192.168.2.0. I am able to ping and SSH to all servers on the .1 subnet except for one server, which I will call PITA. I will attempt to SSH to PITA, and it won't respond, nor does it respond to pings. I will the SSH to PITA from another of the test servers, successfully connect, and then when I SSH from my Windows 7 machine I can connect successfully. If I first connect via console to PITA and send some pings out (to anywhere, like 4.2.2.2), I can also connect from my Windows 7 machine. I've never seen anything like this.
One of the weird things is that I used PITA to create an image that I then used to create many of the other test servers, and they work fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I've checked /var/log/messages and syslog and there's nothing in them that indicates a problem. I've rebooted this server, restarted SSH, changed the IP in case it was conflicting with something else, forced an ARP update in case it was cached (since I had bonded the interfaces), cleared the ARP cache on my own machine, verified Network Manager is not installed...and I still have this issue.
Here are some network-related config:
/etc/network/interfaces

Code:
[bee@localhost ~]$ ulimit -a | grep files
open files (-n) 1024
that open files value set to 1024, but is it valid only for real files ("file handles/descriptors" of files on your filesystems: hd partitions / cdrom / floppy / usb devices) or does it counts also network/sockets connections? i'm just asking without a reason. it's just curiosity ... as you can see sockets with lsof, somebody like me could think connections are counted as they were "files" by ulimit too

I want to write a custom rule to allow all connections to the ip addresses on my local network (192.168.2.2 through ...99) but I don't know how. I know adding a custom rule asks me to read a file and put it in "iptables" format, but I don't know how...

I have a machine that I'm trying to setup as a reverse web proxy. It will have two NICs, eth0 will face the public network, and eth1 will face the "internal" network (connects to a switch that goes out to the other web servers that are statically assigned a private IP address).
When both interfaces are started, I can ping hosts on the 1.2.3.0 network and the 192.168.10.0 network without problem when doing so by IP, but if I try to run a ping or nslookup command with a DNS name, it does not work. I've tried commenting out my entries in /etc/resolv.conf and adding the DNS entries in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files directly (DNS1=x.x.x.x and DNS2=x.x.x.x), but the results are the same.

What I want is quite simple, I have my PC running Linux Mint 5 (Elyssa), and I would like to connect it to both an internal network, which has a file/print server, another machine and will soon host a small cluster. I also have a wireless router connected to the tinterweb.
The thing is using my ethernet I want to connect to the internal network whilst simultaneously using my wireless to deal with the internet, I want to keep the internal network off the net as it really doesn't need to be connected. I can connect to my internal quite happily and also my wireless but not both at once.

Every single time I enter the network manager to edit connections is crashes on exit. I am running opensuse on an Asus eee PC 1000HE with an Atheros network card. The crash report follows :
Distribution: openSUSE 11.2 (i586)
Gnome Release: 2.28.2 (null) (SUSE)
BugBuddy Version: 2.28.0
System: Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-default #1 SMP 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 i686
[code]....
As an extra point. I wish I could disconnect individual networks instead of just disabling networking to disconnect. I think the newer version of the network manager does this.
