[kubuntu] Using zeroconf 28 weeks 5 days ago

I want to share files between two laptops, both running Kubuntu 12.04. I would like to use zeroconf for that purpose, but I haven't been able to. Here's what the Kubuntu wiki has to say about zeroconf:

Quote:

Procedure 1.

Please find below the bare minimum checklists for Linux Hardening Guide. ZEROCONF:

On by default. Used by avahi for local service discovery. Disable this service. Edit /etc/sysconfig/network. Add NOZEROCONF=yes . Then remove the avahi package and its dependencies

Network Connect 3 years 10 weeks ago

I installed 11.1 when it first came out. The PC I used gave up the ghost and I bought a refurbie, HP xw4100 and installed the 11.1 drive in it. All works except Internet connection. I am befuddled, bemused, confused and at a complete loss! The router on USB is not detected.

Boot Time - Status blinks, LAN is OFF and remains OFF. DSL blinks several times.

On an android device, I am connecting to a remote network using openvpn for performing service discovery.

WORKING CASE: After the device is camped on 3g/4g and after connecting to remote network by openvpn, when the zeroconf browser is launched, I can see the mdns query packets being send through the tap0 interface resulting into rendering of services on the browser.

we connect some embedded devices in a network. What i am looking for now, is a way to find the devices IP and identify them. We work with Windows PC´s and i am about to write a C# tool that should do this.

I thought about send a udp broadcast and in the ack i.e.

So I'm going to try out opendns as an internet filter. But I'm not doing it on a network/router, just on my local machine. Using ubuntu, I read that I need to select each connection and change the dns settings.

Is there a way to generically add the dns settings so that if I connect to a new network I don't have to manually update it's settings?

In RHEL, we can change network settings either using GUI or editing the configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.

I would like to know how the network settings (e.g. IP address, gateway, etc) in the configuration files are sync with the GUI and vice versa. Do I need to restart any service to sync the data?

When NetworkManager is running, do I need to turn off network service?

When I first installed Ubuntu, all networking worked perfectly. After messing with the settings every so often, it slowly became unusable. I would really like to know if there is a way to completely reset network settings without re-installing Ubuntu, DNS settings, proxy settings, everything. I'm running 12.04.

When I go to click on NETWORK in the system settings menu, the only option I have is Network Proxy. The Wired Connection and Wireless connection options are gone. Also, can someone tell me how to get the firmware for a wireless connection? This is an acer Aspire 3690 running 12.04. I'm fairly new to Unbintu, thanks for any help you can provide!
