Sharing Internet Through Data Cable From A Mobile That Is Already Sharing Via Wifi

Hello, My issue is very common but, not able to resolve it.

Issue I am facing with my Linux (RHEL-5 32-bit) machine, where I am not able to connect to internet.

DWR-113 - D-Link Router is configured for 3G dongle (Vodafone India) - This setup is done via WiFi and not using the provided LAN cable from Win7 machine.

Internet is working absolutely fine in case of Wireless but, at same time when LAN cable is used internet is not working. [Able to ping to Router IP i.e. 192.168.0.1)

Similarly, from Linux box, ping to Router IP is working [LAN plugged] but, Internet not working. IP of linux machine: 192.168.0.60

Also, able to get the console connection of Linux from Windows box..[Windows connected to Router via WiFi and Linux connected to Router via LAN cable]

Please suggest how to get rid of this problem so that Internet will work on Linux via LAN cable.

Many Thanks,

I have several computers connected to a D-Link DIR605L router, two with ethernet cables and two through wifi. The Windows XP computer can see itself and nobody else. The Ubuntu (trusty) desktop and Ubuntu (lucid) netbook computers see nobody (unable to retrieve file list from server) and the Windows Vista computer only sees itself. Clearly, I have failed to configure something or a set of somethings.
Do I have to have one of the computers always on, acting as some kind of file server or can the router do this job? This is a new router. My old one (whose power supply went phut) connected everybody without arguing about it and we could share files around, even with a mix of OSs.
Since this is a local network only, I have no firewalls enabled, as far as I know ...
All of the network set-up posts I've found rabbit on about how to get your internet connection working through your router, which is not an option for me. I have dial-up working on the XP computer and a mobile wireless USB dongle for internet access on the trusty desktop.
I've installed samba and a few other packages, but so far, none of them have solved my problem. Can someone please tell me where to start and which tutorials to read? If I have to set up a computer as a file server, I guess it will have to be the XP thing, as it's the only one that is always running, but I'd like to avoid that, if possible, as I speak XP worse than I speak Ubuntu.
BTW, D-Link are no help at all, two hours on the 'phone and they were still trying to get me to connect to an ADSL service I don't have ...

Just dual botted Linux mint with elementary OS just because I wanted to try it out to. I use a USB mobile broadband connection in my linux mint 17 and it work fine but doesn't work in elementary OS. I can't get wireless connection to work either. Everything works fine in linux mint but when I plug the USB mobile broadband modem in elementary OS, it wont even detect the USB modem. I guess I just need to install some drivers and update to ge my connection to work but I can't do that without an internet connection. Please help me. I need to also try out this linux destro.

Applogy: I'm also sorry about my English. I'm AFRIKAN!

Best Regards.

Hello,

I am looking for a live linux distro that is able to recognize more hardware by "default" without installation. For example, when I borrow a laptop/netbook, I want to be able to boot the live linux distro and be able to have wireless access to internet (at least most of the time).

I know how to get the wireless working if I have internet access to begin with, but sometimes I do not have a wired connection or am not allowed to install stuff.

I would like to try many live distros on different laptops, but it would be hard to convince other people to give me their laptops to do that; so I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

When I'm at home, I get an IP lease immediately every time, and have no problem getting to the internet over WiFi

When I go anywhere else, most of the time I cannot get to the internet over WiFe. If I try to set up a connection using wicd, I get to the point where it says "getting an IP address" but it usually does not go beyond that point. Once in a while, if I try to connect manually several times with wicd, I might get connected.

What do I need to do?

I'm using LUbuntu 14.10

I know that there is an option to start a wifi hotspot on Ubuntu when you are connected to the wired network. But when I want to use my wifi connection as a hotspot, Ubuntu asks me to disconnect from my wifi and then create a hotspot, which is of no use.
If you have ever heard about the software called Connectify Hotspot, I want to use that functionality in ubuntu 14.10.

Is there any way to do that? i am excited to know about that

Hello all, I currently have a very unreliable connection to the internet. I have a IPhone six that I was grandfather in on that has unlimited data and the personal hotspot feature on. I have bought many different modems, adapters..that is why I kept seeing this link pop up, (I was going to try and and even clone a ahhh "sheep" later). That is how desperate I am. I have rooms full of old hotspot devices. hardware, cords, routers, old phones, antennas, etc). I am currently just using wifi-over-wan on a CP-MBR95. As I am sure you all know this gives me barely enough bandwidth to download a Game of Thrones episode, and the signal fluctuates continually. In fact this is the second attempt at posting here because I lost the signal, and had to start over just as I had almost finished the last one, so I shall wrap it up. I would like any suggestions on what Linux version I should put on the awesome new hardware I received yesterday, and any suggestions on a bootloader would be great too. I am currently using Yosimite, but occasionally I need to play Skyrim or something so my head doesn't explode, or I wear out the reset button.

[B]Primarily[B], I need to first make sure I am at least getting enough bandwidth to justify my $180 a month Verizon bill (plus all the hardware I buy that never fits or works as expected, and ideally want be able to set up a VPN and share my data with friends. family, and community. I usually am quite impulsive, obsessive, and I do not often ask for help from others. That is most likely what has impeded my progress thus far. That and the fact the web can be loaded with poor information. I do not have any programming skills, but I have a strong imagination, and a willingness to learn. I also am devoted to aid the next curious soul who has the same fascination with getting in way over his head, and keeping at it until he at least knows more about something than he did if we spent his days with his head in the sand as sadly many of us do here in the US, especially the parts I'm from.

Thank you for suffering through that novice novella,
I look forward to learning what I can from you all.

Respectfully,
RaVen162

P.S. - I'm not sure how things work around here but if anyone has any suggestions at all, or have someway I can contribute, please don't hesitate to contact me. I got very close to losing my unlimited plan yesterday for upgrading to a 4g LTE phone on another line and putting the sim in the only plan with unlimited data. (if you ask questions like, "isn't that a violation of our contract by denying me the services I have paid for at an inflated cost for 8 years now." They usally say something like I'm not sure Sir. I'm not a lawyer..."OK can you put me in touch with him when he gets back from his deposition over at Tracfone"?.. got a call back 5 min later and he had no problems with what I did. By the way, just a heads up. I may me a smartass from time to time, but I am rarely one without the other. I apologize in advance for breaking any rules. Hopefully you guys will let me hang around for a bit. I really want to learn any OS I can, especially opensource ones. Thanks Again!

I was recently given a Samsung Convoy 3 phone as an insurance replacement. One of the phone's features is that you are supposed to be able to transfer data directly from the phone to your computer using a USB cable, but the phone's data transfer program (Mass Storage) has been hanging at the step where it contacts the computer. I am running Linux Mint 13, and I've determined that the operating system recognizes the phone when I plug it in, but it doesn't mount automatically. Verizon and Samsung have not been helpful.

Today I figured out how to mount and unmount the phone manually using mtpfs, but I wasn't sure what program to assign to open it, and the one I chose didn't work. Now I can't figure out how to change the program assignment -- no "open with" option comes up when I right-click on the icon on my desktop -- and I'm also not sure what program to use.

I'm willing to do the whole data transfer via command line if someone can walk me through it. I'm not very experienced with command-line prompts yet, but I've loved the ones I've learned so far.

Thanks!
