A: Problems with ubuntu network connection

Please, enter this line into the terminal: nano /etc/hostname And tell me what it says :)

DaGhostman Dimitrov

Actually it is blank =D

denNorske

Then, restart your computer, enter the "recovery mode" in your start-up, and when you are in there, select the option where you can use the command line as "root". From there (note this down), you just type:
``nano /etc/hostname``

then, when you have, enter a pc name / hostname like "computer", and exit with ctrl+x or what it says, to save it. reboot, and try the things again :P

DaGhostman Dimitrov

Thank you mate !

denNorske

Did the network work now? If so, no problem!

DaGhostman Dimitrov

Yeah the weird part is that the wired network now shows as Auto Ethernet but works perfectly =D

denNorske

Thats because the computer must have a name to be allowed to connect to most networks. If there is no name, no network.

DaGhostman Dimitrov

Mate could you be kind enough to explain why when I try to set up local static IP to the computer (192.168.0.111) it loses connection to the internet ?

i am using 192.168.0.111 (IP) 255.255.255.0 (MASK) and 192.168.0.1(GATEWAY ROUTER)

denNorske

That could be multiple reasons. The router you use - are you setting up the static ip there, or on your computer?

Hmm, when you use the ****.111 address, are you sure it is not taken ?

meh, i didnt get your question. Try to explain :)

on my computer sorry

I am setting it up from the "Edit conections" menu and change it in the router are only 2 machines at the moment and non of them is using the IP

denNorske

okay

So, do you have access to your router?

DaGhostman Dimitrov

Yes

denNorske

okay, then i would suggest you to do it all from there :)

much easier

DaGhostman Dimitrov

ah?

could you give me a tip how to do it from there ?

denNorske

because, mainly it is the router which decides all ip's on the network :)

okay, i need a model/product

so i can check out the features on google

denNorske

okay, 2 sec :)

DaGhostman Dimitrov

Super Hub Version
Software Version "R36"
Hardware Version 2.00

that is all I can find =D

denNorske

hmm, okay thx, give me a short minute

DaGhostman Dimitrov

you got it

denNorske

Okay, when i am doing that, could you just have a little search for a "reservation list" for ip's on your router? or anything related to static ip ?

found something

go to 192.168.0.1 and then go to advanced settings and then dhcp settings (near the bottom)

DaGhostman Dimitrov

14:25

Yes

found it

denNorske

and then the top feild you can specify the ip address you want

if there is any field there :)

DaGhostman Dimitrov

yes but I get error telling me that the device is alredy in the list and I cannot delete it =D

denNorske

oh, then you already got a static ip with that address

i guess :S

DaGhostman Dimitrov

The funny thing is that I didn't add any device myself =D

denNorske

check your connection details again :P

DaGhostman Dimitrov

14:28
