I'm getting a lot of conflicting information [07:01] I'd check the man page [07:14] it doesn't go into detail [07:16] it seems like it just wants /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks, but some other files hint at it being just in /etc, and there is a /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ directory === infinity [n=adconrad@cerberus.0c3.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === JuanTao [n=chatzill@69-9-151-186.dsl.mind.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [07:56] I've tried several attempts to setup a firewall and do NAT on eth1 for my LAN including the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/ip-masquerading.html and firewallhttp://www.section6.net/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_a_Firewall_NAT_using_IPTables but i've only succeeded in breaking stuff (three ffr's) any recommendations? === svschwartz [n=svschwar@217.147.21.82] has joined #ubuntu-server [08:12] All I can tell you is, I've spent the last few weeks doing basically the same thing, and I finally gave in and read about a dozen manuals on iptables [08:12] none of the programs that are supposed to make it simpler have worked [08:17] qman, one of the sysadmins where I used to work wrote a script for me that worked beautifully - but for the last two years I've run FreeBSD. Now that I'm switching back to Linux, he's going to re-send it to me. Do you want to try it if it works? [08:19] no thanks, I've already done it the hard way [08:19] but I appreciate the offer [08:19] qman: did you say 'do some reading'? Ack... [08:20] I've spent a total of around 30 hours reading just on iptables [08:20] no lie [08:20] hat's off! [08:20] at least it's knowledge that can be put to good use in more than just one situation :) [08:24] yes. I seem to be a pretty slow learner, but the notebook i've kept has been valuable.

[05:44] steveire: It should just work. [05:45] steveire: If they have network access to your machine, it should be all good. [05:45] How do I give them network access to my machine? [05:45] Er... Be on the same network as them :) [05:46] Imagine I'm in a room with them. We all have wireless network cards in our laptops. There is no router or anything. Next what? [05:46] No existing network [05:47] wireless is not limited by an existing network === sacater [n=sacater@213.131.245.105] has joined #ubuntu-server [05:51] OK. I type 127.0.0.1 in my browser to access the server on my own laptop. How do I access it from the other laptop? [05:53] steveire: I suggest you ask in #ubuntu how to set up networking between you.

[06:01] Thanks for the help. I seem to be going in circles. [06:09] steveire: first setup your wireless [06:10] leonel: My wireless card? Network? Do I need samba? [06:10] no [06:10] weel [06:10] well [06:11] how are you going yo update the contents ? [06:12] most of the CMS update their content using the html forms provided [06:13] I'm trying out some cms software. Some friends and I want to make a website. I've installed ubuntu-lamp and some cmses on my laptop and they work fine. I'd want them on their windows laptops to be able to see what I put up there. That's about it. [06:13] that's with apache only [06:13] hmm? [06:13] use the browser on the windows machines [06:14] and point to the wireless ip [06:14] Ok. I think someone on #ubuntu suggested that too. I'll try 192.168.x.x. [06:15] Aren't ip addresses usually assigned by a router though...? [06:16] you can set up that in /etc/network/interfaces [06:16] so the wireless can be static [06:17] or in the router assing the same ip to your wireless with the ARP [06:17] OK. There won't be any router, just three laptops. I'll have a look at /etc/network/interfaces [06:22] So I add something like http://pastebin.ca/519246 to the file? [06:25] Actually I'm not so sure about that any more. [06:25] q [06:27] that's right [06:28] other man pages like wireless and iwconfig seem to say wireless is different/separate. I'll turn off the router here and have a go anyway. Cheers === steveire [n=stephen@89.100.40.115] has joined #ubuntu-server [06:42] leonel: Hey. That entry in /etc/network/interfaces didn't change anything. [06:42] ?? [06:44] I turned off the router here, and tried to access the apache server on my ubuntu laptop from my windows laptop after editing /etc/network/interfaces like this: http://pastebin.ca/519246 [06:44] did you restart the network ? [06:46] I don't know the command-line way. I used knetwork manager to go to offline mode and online mode again. I thought that would reparse the config file. ifconfig didn't show anything about a 192.168.1.20 ip address after that. I don't know what else to look for. [06:48] ok [06:48] /etc/init.d/networking restart [06:48] and then check the ip with ifconfig [06:49] right so. That'll probably disconnect me. [06:50] it will [06:50] It didn't O_o [06:51] I'll disconnect my router and try again. === turox [n=chatzill@dslb-084-057-252-090.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === steveire_ [n=stephen@89.100.40.115] has joined #ubuntu-server [06:55] http://pastebin.ca/519321 <<< There's the output === steveire_ is now known as steveire [06:57] Am I missing something obvoius that I need in the interfaces file? === kupesoft [n=dave@red-gw.cs.toronto.edu] has joined #ubuntu-server [07:02] steveire: It's really not within the scope of this channel.

[07:06] let me understand [07:06] you want wireless to wireless communication ? [07:06] steveire: ? [07:06] leonel: Yes. [07:08] leonel: Is that something specifically difficult? [07:09] you need to setup your wireless as ad-hoc [07:10] OK. How? [07:11] Do I edit /etc/network/interfaces to do that? [07:12] check this link http://justlinux.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-147208.html [07:16] Alright thanks. I'll think about how that applies to me. When he says he gives the wireless network adapter a certain configuration, that means editing interfaces, right? [07:18] yes [07:18] or use iwconfig [07:29] leonel: I followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=841459&postcount=5 which was linked to in that one.

[09:00] check /etc/fstab to make sure it's correct for the new disk [09:01] your partition labels may have changed, and if it uses UUIDs, they will be different for sure [09:03] yes I setup uuid's and I just found the problem [09:04] ubuntu needs /var/run and /var/lock to exist even if they are mounted over, I don't know why === mrpoundsign [n=chatzill@92dhcp179.chordiant.com] has joined #ubuntu-server [09:06] if you look at the /etc/rcS.d/S01mountkernfs.sh it will mount /var/run and /var/lock as tmpfs even though the /var is not mounted till S35mountallfs.sh [09:11] how do I tell dhclient to renew on an interface? === RobNyc-work [n=arch@65.98.0.130] has joined #ubuntu-server [09:14] ph1zzle: er...

[09:18] on one hand I when I came home from boating (me lives in Fort Lauderdale) the companies /var partition was so full all company mail had stopped moving, but on the other hand a) the boss bought a bigger hard drive and I see a vital flaw I misunderstood in the configuration [09:20] well... true...
