Network Commands?

I believe this belongs in here (newbie) and not in Networking.

I'm completely starting out with networking. I have done some research, but I never ran networking commands in a serious way.

Is there an all purpose beginner guide to getting around a network, and learning basic troubleshooting skills? I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 in VirtualBox running on Windows 7 Professional.

I would like to get an understanding of statistics, how to map out my home network and networks I connect to and so on. So I'm interested in any help, any tips and etc.

Thanks!

Network Injectors And Network Sniffers

Newbie question on networking he

I read an article on network tools (tcpdump, wireshark, nmap etc)

One big distinction was made between network sniffers and network injectors. Of course, I cannot find the article anymore on the internet.

A brief explanation would be more than welcome.

No Network At Startup, But Network After Restart

Hi Folks,
Installed Mint-mate 17.
It gives message:You are now disconnected" after logging in.
I restart, the network connection comes.
It is not "networking restart", but system restart.

Tried five more times. The behaviour is every time the same.
After booting the system, no network connection. But from there I restart the system, then network connection is on.

Very irritating to always boot it second time to get the network connection up.

The computer is a desktop Dell Optiplex 9010.
On the same computer, Windows 7 runs without any problem.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks

Yast And Netstat Doesn't Match In Suse

Hi all

I am helping fixing a set of old suse VMs and there is something seriously weird going with the networking.

My netstat -nr shows one set of routing commands and the yast/networking shows another set routes, routes that I know doesn't exist on our network.

Has anyone seen this before?

For example, in the attached screenshot, we can see yast shows I have no routes.
But here is the netstat -nr output:

hostname:~ # route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.224.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth10
192.168.226.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth11
192.168.110.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth12

loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

How To Configure Network On Debian Text Mode?

I installed Debian 7.8.0 in text mode. While I configure eth0 through /etc/network/interface it assigned the IP but unable to ping to other machine in the network. I tried /etc/init.d/networking restart but still not working for me.

While I install GUI mode, it allows me configuration done through Network Manager and it pings good to other machine.

I have selected base install during the installation.
How to fix it under text mode?

Problems With Trusty

Hi,
I work with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my laptop and desktops. I am facing two issues:
i) Even in LTS, every week there are upgrades, on one count or other. This is not a concern, but what is painful is that if the upgrade does some tweaking of the kernel, I lose the support for Gnome Desktop and Nvidia...To get the machine back to the desktop, I have to sometimes knock off Nvidia*, and then try repairing with the advanced choices...otherwise the system boots up but the X-Display is unaccessible...
2. Secondly, why does Ubuntu want me to use DHCP...? I conmfigure it always for static IP, and even write out a /etc/resolv.conf...but the NM deletes the entries... I want a solution to this issue...I am using a Vostro 3570, an Inspiron 530 and a Envy15 Laptop,,,

3. I find that the network is never a problem with the FC20, which I use with dual boot...what is wrong with Ubuntu Networking implementation please?

4. Finally, my most urgent question (to anyone who can help) is how to directly load Ubuntu or FC20 on to a desktop or laptop on a new disk...From where can I get the basic Linux drivers ...? There is no such problem with Win7!!! (IMHO which is a much poorer OS for professional computing...)
5. Dell though it supports Ubuntu 12.04, refuses to give the drivers even for their systems under warranty, ditto for HP...So Dear Sirs where does one go for a remedy...

Warm Regards

Set CentOS 7 Wired Network To Automatically Connect

I have a number of CentOS 7 VMs and there is only one that won't automatically connect to the wired network.

Thru the gui (Gnome 3.8.4), I found the checkbox to automatically connect it, however I would like to know what file to modify in the future for my learning experience.

I was not able to find the file to modify. I looked under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

thanks
