Thanks, NoOp for trying. I appreciate it,
thanks.
Here are a couple of general rules that I typicallyDon't have the choice here with my gateway 1701HG
follow when setting
a small home/business DSL network - they may be of
help, or maybe not &
others will certainly have their own preferences.
1. I ensure that all the fixed computers have fixed
IP's that are not on
the same subnet as the gateway router. If for
example the gateway is
192.168.0.1, then my machines would be say
192.168.2.100-110 and the
gateway would be 196.68.2.1. Many routers/modems use
192.168.1.1, so I
make sure to avoid the 192.168.1.x subnet
altogether. It just makes life
easier & avoids any possible mistakes in the subnet.
combo. AAMOF, 2Wire tech support said I couldn't use
static IP's as I purchased dhcp. But got that straight
with 2nd level tech support, partly anyway.
2.Snip Big
For your existing problem(s) I'd recommend that youYes, after clearing the router any reference to
check your router
settings and clear out any previous dhcp address'
that have been
previously issued. If the router still has the mac
address & IP of one
of your newly reassigned fixed IP's, then there will
be a conflict.
192.168.1.64 or kubuntu-desktop(hostname) went away.
3. I normally rely on my router for dhcp, firewall,2Wire tech support says bridge mode not available for
fqdn updates, etc.,
so I also generally put the DSL modem in bridge mode
depending upon the
type of DSL modem. For example a Speedstream 5100B
can cause all sorts
of problems with dhcp & links when VNC's are used.
Setting to bridge
mode and allowing the router to do it's job works
considerably better.
me; heck, what do I know. I don't think I'm using
VNC's or VPN's so should be ok.
4. On the Ubuntu machines; go into each one on the
network settings and
actually enter the IP Address & Alieses of each of
the fixed machines
(System|Administration|Network|Hosts|Add). If
necessary, check the
/etc/host file and add them there, example (modified
for the purposes of
this post of course):
127.0.0.1 localhost mycomputer.mshome
127.0.1.1 mycomputer
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable
hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
192.168.2.101 myothercomputer
192.168.2.102 my-laptop
192.168.2.105 mytestserver
192.168.2.103 mywindowsmachine
192.168.2.106 myserver
This all done on both machines and both machines
rechecked.
5. For Gutsy machines: remove & purge apparmor - atDone that on both machines.
least until the bugs
with cups & pdf-printer etc., are worked out.
Besides, apparmor is
primarily an enterprise security application & I've
found that (for now
anyway) that it is much more trouble than it is
worth in a small home
network.
6. Don't mess with command line automount smbfOK. Using dolphin or nautilus is the way I want to go
unless you actually have
a reason to do so. I have all of my machines set to
automatically show
the neighbor shares icon on the desktop and in
Nautilus & if the other
machine is alive it automounts just by clicking on
the icon or the
machine folder in Nautilus.
It's really quite easy to do, all you do is
Places|Connect to
Server|Windows Share| then:
Server: 192.168.2.104 (example)
Name to use for connection: MyOtherMachine
- Connect
Bingo, I now have a desktop icon to MyOtherMachine
and in Nautilus I
have a network MyOtherMachine network folder.
If I reboot or logout, the icon and network folders
come up automatically.

smb://machinename then I can
almost always connect using the machine IP address.
If it's failing on

linux on both machines if their not broke.
OK. After getting a reply to my inquiry on how to
setup static IP's I followed the email directions from
2wire and lost all cnnections to the gateway. Couldn't
even connect from vista or repair it in vista. Called
ATT DSL tech support and they fixed vista, but first
line said I couldn't use static IP's. Didn't believe
it. Went to level 2 and after some disagreement on
whether I could do this with my router, he went
through the vista setup and finally got it set. He
didn't have an easy job of it, either. Ok, now booting
into vista or ubuntu gutsy 64 bit and getting online.
Not so lucky on 32 bit wifi ubuntu, so went through my
usual on that machine, checking all network managers,
hostname, resolv.conf, modules loaded, blcaccklist,
etc, and even took out the old cantankerous WMP54G
wifi card, rebooted and reinstalled the card. Many
ifdown's and ifup's but no connection. Went over the
network managers many times and began to notice that
knetwork manager had a lo entry everytime I restarted
it instead of wlan0. Getting suspicious here so tried
to setup a localhost wifi interface but
couldn't(iwconfig said not supported even though the
64bit machine uses lo for an eth0 interface). Noticed
that I had both wlan0 and eth0 checked in the knetwork
manager(which I had before going static and it worked)
and on a hunch unchecked the eth0 iface and the
browser immediately loaded the URI. Now I know
someone, maybe Derek, is going to say you can't have 2
ifaces selected at the same time but I did and it
worked since the eth0 wasn't connected and got
deselected.
Anyway, both machines are up on gutsy and have run
vista on the 64 bit one, all ok for now. It'll be a
while before I have the courage to reboot. IAC, if I
have trouble it will be on the ubuntu with the wifi
card in it.
Thanks Gary, for all your time and trouble spent
helping me, a network dummie slowly, gettiong
experience with setting it up. I'd still be lost
without you patience and help. Your a good man,
thanks,
Leonard Chatagnier
