[ubuntu] Beginner Ubuntu 12.10 wifi woes.

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Installed Ubuntu 12.10 about a month ago to replace Ubuntu 12.04 and noticed that I can no longer access the machine from a Windows XP machine on my wifi network. It may have happened at the upgrade, but also later; I use the network to update some of my files, but do this only once every 2 to 3 weeks. Anyhow, I can still surf the Web and the Ubuntu machine gets out OK on the network and can browse the network and copy files, but this only works one way. I tried to share different folders and it comes up with an error 255 or something like that. I feel that perhaps my smb.conf file is missing (Hardware)

Lets say there is Machine A (Ubuntu) in Network A and Machine B in Network B. There is also Machine C (Windows 7) in Network B and I can access it through RDP from Machine A. What I need is to be able to reach Machine B from Machine A (i.e. can ping it, connect to arbitrary port, etc). How can I manage something like this?

[ubuntu] network problem 2 years 48 weeks ago

I have a home ethernet network with both Windows and Ubuntu computers and an Ubuntu laptop which uses a wireless connection. This network has remained fundamentally unchanged for a couple of years and has always worked perfectly. Now, however, both my Ubuntu machines give an error when trying to access the network: "Unable to mount location

First off I can see my windows network through the ubuntu pc but I cannot see the shared files on the w/7 laptop on my Network. How do i set up the ubuntu machine to share folders? I get the shared folders option to become active but still get the "cant mount" message box.

This is weird, a few days ago I had a folder on a Win98 machine that was shared over the network. This shared folder contained 4 Sub folders. I went to back them up today and only 2 of the 4 show on my Ubuntu machine. I thought... did I delete them off of the Win98 machine somehow?

I have a Linux virtual machine (Hyper-V) acting as a web server on my network. I would prefer to browse it's file system from my Windows machine. This Windows machine is on the same network/subnet. Is there anyway I can achieve this? I am willing to download any free file browsing software that I need to.

I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop on an old machine for file sharing/media streaming and data backup.

Hi,

I've just installed ubuntu on separate machine on my local network and its running fine - I can access test websites running apache, mysql, php locally.

Is it possible to setup development environment in such a way that i can access number of different VirtualHosts that are run on ubuntu from another windows/mac machine within the network?

I am severe wireless problems with Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop.(Spec below)

I have just performed the first clean install since new. Installed a new Hard Drive as well. The machine and wifi was fine under Ubuntu 9.04.

It is booting much faster now but the wifi keeps dropping off.

Any assistance in resolving this would be appreciated as I use this machine for work.
