linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have my desktop pc with a wired/ LAN connection to a Belkin wireless router. We also have a couple of laptops in the house which connect to the same router, but wirelessly. Is there anyway I can create a network for file transfer and desktop sharing between these computers whilst the desktop pc is connected via LAN cable? All machines are running Ubuntu 12.04. Any help greatly appreciated Thanks Chris (Hardware)

Hi all,

I moved from win.7 to Ubuntu (Unity) on all my machines and really like it. There is just one issue I just can't solve.

I have 3 machines at home - a desktop (with no monitor, keyboard and mouse connected) and two laptops.

The desktop is connected by a cable to the router and the laptops are connected with a solid wireless connection.

The connection quality inside the local network and outside

Hi, I can't seem to be able to connect to the internet in my Ubuntu 10.04 Dell Dimension E-310 desktop. I am able to connect to the router(a 2wire AT&T wireless gateway) with my UNR 10.10 Lenovo ideapad S10-3t both wired and wirelessly. I tried connecting manually to the router on my desktop using the eth0 connection but it still says "You are now offline" after a few seconds.

I am trying Ubuntu on a trial basis to see if I think I could use it in place of Windows. One of the things I can do in Windows is connect my XP laptop thru a wireless access point which is connected by ethernet cable to my desktop, which is set to share its internet connection. The desktop connects to the internet by dialup.

I have a wired desktop running 9.10 and a wireless laptop running Ultimate Edition 2.6 (aka Ubuntu 10.04). They both connect to a Netgear router. I took down the firewalls on both computers and the router. I also configured remote desktop to accept connections on both puters, but when I go to network all I see is Windows Network. Click on that and I get "unable to mount".

Well.. here it is:Two machines connected with each other through router. Desktop uses cable, laptop is wifi (intel wifilink 1000 b/g/n). Both have Statler, absolutely same network prefs. I use gftp to exchange files between the machines. Now is the main part - transfer speed desktop-laptop is 5.5MB/s, laptop-desktop is 3.6MB/s. BTW, while desktop allows download and upload, laptop only downloads.

I've just installed ubuntu on my laptop and I'm trying to connect to the wireless network that the other computers in my house are using.

Hi all,

Title pretty much explains what I want to do. I have F12 dual booted on both my laptop and desktop. Laptop is 64-bit F12, desktop is 32-bit. I'm trying to test my remote desktop settings between the two, just to see if it works, but it won't let me connect.

I am using my MSI wind U100 running Ubuntu 10.4 netbook remix, I have 2 networks, One of them always works and one barley ever works, The first one (That always works)Called Aaron's Computer, This router is in the room in which ubuntu was installed, And the first network ever connected to.
