@speedysnail6 Hi, terdon would like to use this room instead of comments. It's much cleaner. Could you pop in here please? Thanks.

Speedysnail6

hi

terdon

Hi

OK, can you show me the ifconfig output on the server please?

crap, you can't post it from the server can you?

Speedysnail6

Well I can sorta

What I did before was send the output from ifconfig to a .txt on my web server

but that wont work because i cant access it lol

Seth

You can put it on a flash drive

Speedysnail6

umm k 1 sec

sd card?

Seth

03:28

ifconfig > someFile.txt then cp someFile.txt /location/of/flash/drive

Speedysnail6

will it work with a SD card?

terdon

@Speedysnail6 at least run the ifconfig and tell me if the settings are the ones I have in my answer

Speedysnail6

ok ill do that

Seth

@Speedysnail6 Yep.

Speedysnail6

how do i find name again?

i'm looking at my history trying to find the command

terdon

03:31

ifconfig

sudo ifonfig

depending on your setup, you probably need the sudo.

Speedysnail6

i mean find devices

terdon

You only have two on the server, you want the eth0

Speedysnail6

I mean to find the name of the SD card :p

terdon

AH :)

sorry

Will be in /media probably, don't really use them

Speedysnail6

I need to see the list of devices

I think the command started with a g?

Seth

03:33

ls /media

Speedysnail6

this isnt working

@te

@terdon what specifically do you need

i might as well just type it

terdon

@Speedysnail6 just run the ifconfig first and tell me what you see for the seonc line, the one that was:

      inet addr:10.42.0.50  Bcast:10.42.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Is it

Speedysnail6

inet addr is: 192.168.1.50

bcast is 192.168.1.255

mask is 255.255.255.0

terdon

AH

no, scratch that. looks fine

Speedysnail6

ok....

terdon

03:35

can you ping the server from the laptop?

Speedysnail6

ping 192.168.1.50?

terdon

yes

Speedysnail6

unknown host

terdon

and ifconfig on the laptop? Does it also have a 192.168.1.xx address?

Speedysnail6

yes

192.168.1.4

From the laptop:

inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

terdon

03:38

OK, that's strange, they seem to be on the same network alright

hmmm

trying to get some more help, hang on

Speedysnail6

okay... well i appreciate your help with this

terdon

@strugee talking about this

Q: Sharing a connection with a server using a unique ip

I have followed Luis Alvarado's post on Sharing Connection to other PCs (Via Wired Ethernet) up until the "Client PC" part and am now sharing my laptop's internet connection with my Desktop server with an ethernet cable. However, only my laptop can see the server (at 10.42.0.50), no other machi...

connection-sharing

@Speedysnail6 you're welcome, I'm curious now, I'm afraid I'm missing something obvious

strugee

@terdon unfortunately I have 0 networking knowledge

terdon

oh well, slm is the one we really need

Speedysnail6

Why am I getting a different responce for the numerical ip and google.com

terdon

03:41

@Speedysnail6 ??

strugee

@terdon probably

terdon

That's interesting, what response?

Speedysnail6

google.com is unknown host

terdon

that's either DNS or no internet

Speedysnail6

1 sec

terdon

03:42

What's the number return?

Speedysnail6

umm the one you gave me for google.fr

i said that in the comment

number return?

terdon

@Speedysnail6 I meant numerical

try ping 8.8.8.8 just in case

Speedysnail6

the one for google.fr

terdon

If not, we have to make sure the settings on the laptop are correct and the connection is being shared, that's the likeliest problem since you changed them when my 1st answer did not specify that I meant the server

Speedysnail6

It says From 192.168.1.50 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

terdon

03:45

OK, can you double check the laptop settings? Make sure they're set up the same way you had them when it worked, look at the same guide

Speedysnail6

gyazo.com/a24d957c352ed1a52e535029fc55cfe4

I sent you a screenshot url

terdon

hang on

By the way, what versions of Ubuntu are you running?

Speedysnail6

13.10

server is newest version too

Should I try restarting my laptop?

terdon

@Speedysnail6 hang on, have you restarted since changing the settings?

Reconnected at least?

Speedysnail6

yes, i believe so

I'm going to shut them both down

and try it again ;-)

terdon

03:48

OK, try deselecting the "Require IPv4 for connection to complete" check box on both also just in case

Speedysnail6

ok

both?

terdon

yes

Speedysnail6

remember i have a gui

i mean no gui

terdon

OK, laptop only then :)

Speedysnail6

ok :-P

ill be back

terdon

03:49

ok

Hi @slm he's rebooting now

Executive summary: ping google -> unknown host and ping 8.8.8.8 -> no route to host

Speedysnail6

back

terdon

so, no network and no DNS

@Speedysnail6 any changes?

Speedysnail6

turning on server right now

the adapter in my laptop is so annoying

it's not that it's slow, but i had to delete the Wifi network to connect again...

Seth

Here's the question for reference: askubuntu.com/questions/435225/…

Speedysnail6

i actually have to go

i appreciate your help

i'll let you know if it works my server is acting weird

sorry about that

terdon

04:01

@Speedysnail6 OK, if I think of anything, I'll add it to my answer

Speedysnail6

alright, thanks again

terdon

I tend to be around so you can come into the main chat room on Ask Ubuntu or Unix & Linux and ping me if you like

Since you're running the server version, I recommend the Unix & Linux room, there are more hardcore commandline geeks there
