Problems With Linux Router

I have a RaspberryPi and I want to turn it into a router just for the hell of it. I've attempted this multiple times but always get stuck and say "screw it" since my roommates would bitch at me because they can't get on the internet. Now I live by myself and want to get it to work.
I've followed the Router page in the wiki but I only have internet access from the Pi itself. I had a few problems but I think I fixed them. My main problem now is that DHCP doesn't offer IP addresses. During bootup Arch tells me that it failed to start my private interface (eth0), while looking at the journal it says this because the interface is already up (don't know why) and it doesn't get an ip address. I would like to assign it a static address of 192.168.1.1 but I'm not sure how to do so.
If I set a static address for eth0 (my internal interface) and try to get an IP address from another computer it doesn't offer me one. If I set a static address on the other PC, I can ping the Pi from the PC and vice versa so I know that's good, but if I try to ping an external IP from the PC (such as Google's DNS server 8.8.8.8 which responds to pings) it gives me "destination host unreachable", yet I can ping it just fine from the Pi.
I'm using a Cisco E3200 router with Tomate by Shibby as a switch and WAP with the routing/DHCP/DNS features turned off. I don't believe that the E3200 is the problem.
Any suggestions on why this isn't working?

Thanks for the info, but I need to get DHCP working since I'm going to have a few other devices on the network that won't have static address (phones, tablets, friend's devices, etc...).

I was going to say that too, but I didn't want to poke the bear. My problems aren't really architecture dependent, they're just general networking problems.

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

Problem with Advanced Routing in WRT320N

Hi, everybody.
First of all, sorry for my poor English.
I've a problem with Advanced Routing in router. My provider using routing and it looks like that:
route add -p 172.16.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.1.0.2
route add -p 172.16.5.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.1.0.2
route add -p 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 10.1.0.2
Everything is working well in XP (or other OS), but then I try to setup a Routing in router:

HEAVY Problems with Linux x86_64 on K8T Neo

Hello, Community!
I experience *HEAVY* Problems with Linux on my MSI K8T Neo (FSR). Since the customer support of the german dependancy seems to ignore my call for help I'm in good hope that maybe you can help me out or give me some useful advise.
First some Hardware Specs of my system:
MSI K8T Neo FSR, Rev 1.1, BIOS 1.5
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
3x 512MB Kingston DDR400
Enermax EG365P-VE (350W) PSU (3.3V/5V 185W Combinded)
MSI GeForce FX5200 TDR 128
Adaptec ATA RAID AAR1200A (HPT370A) in PCI Slot 3
Hauppauge WinTV PCI in PCI Slot 5
Maxtor 4K040H2 (40GB) as Primary Master
JLMS XJ-HD166S DVD-ROM as Primary Slave
LiteOn LDW-411S DVD+/-RW as Secondary Master
LiteOn LTR-52327S CD-RW as Secondary Slave
2x Maxtor 6Y060L0 (60GB) on HPT370A as Primary Master/Slave
Seagate ST380020A (80GB) on HPT370A as Secondary Master
Maxtor 32049U3 on HPT370A as Secondary Slave
KeyTronic KT2001 USB Keyboard
Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse Blue USB
I've downloaded Fedora Core 1 x86_64 as well as the lately released Fedora Core 2 test 3 x86_64 distribution. Both CD sets have been burnt ok.
If I try to install Core 1 x86_64 (Kernel 2.4.22-1.2179) the kernel crashes with a "attempted to kill idle task" panic. As far as I've learned the workaround is to give idle=poll as kernel parameter. This resolves the kernel panic, but the installer randomly crashes with segfaults at a random stage; sometimes while loading anaconda, sometimes during package install.
If I try to install Core2 test 3 x86_64 (Kernel 2.6.5) I get a, completely new, error message while the kernel does the PCI Scan:
******* Your BIOS seems to not contain a fix for K8 errata #93
******* Working around it, but it may cause SEGVs or burn power
******* Please consider a BIOS update
******* Disabling USB legacy in the BIOS may also help
I removed my USB keyboard, connected a PS/2 keyboard, disabled to USB Legacy option (I need it enabled in order to use Ghost) in the BIOS and booted again.
The error message is gone now, but as in Core 1 the installer still crashes randomly with segfaults. I'm still unable to go all the way through the installation routine.
I even tried to install Fedora Core 1 "i386": again there are segfaults during install.
Contrary to the problems I experience while trying to install Linux my Windows XP (32-Bit), as well as a test installation of Windows XP 64-Bit, run like a charm without any problems. Strange but true.
Since I already read trough several posts in this forum I already tried running my system with memory sticks from another manufacturers as well as with a more powerful PSU. I even removed my tv-card and raid-controller.
Nogo - Linux still crashes randomly and Windows still works without any flaws.
Has anyone a clue what I can/must do to successfully install Linux?
Might it be that the BIOS has some flaws that might cause the problems?
Has anyone managed to install Linux (what distribution) on this Mainboard?
I would greatly appreciate any help. If you need to know something I haven't provided here please feel free to ask. I'll answer ASAP.
Thank you in advance.
P.S.: The system is *NOT* overclocked in any way.

And now even the last problem is solved ...
Since I was successful in installing a basic Gentoo system but still failed to install Fedora I reflashed BIOS 1.5. This time I cleared the CMOS by unplugging the PSU, setting the jumper and removing the backup battery.
Yesterday I only flashed it with the /a switch, which should have cleared the CMOS as well - so far for the theory. However, it once went fine as I upgraded from BIOS 1.1 to 1.4.
After setting up the BIOS options again I gave it another try and booted from Fedora (Core 2 test 3) install CD: No more complains about the CPU errata, although USB legacy is enabled, and I even went through the installation without any problems.
It seems as I will stick with Gentoo as my primary distribution since the kernel makes a more "mature" impression than the one from Fedora (i.e. the K8 PowerNOW! Driver seems to be missing in Fedora's Kernel 2.6.5).
By using an spare Athlon XP Mainboard I worked out that only one of my three Kingston memory sticks had errors - I'm going to replace the faulty stick tomorrow.
Now for the conclusio:
Thanks, especially you JLP, for helping me with my issue. Without the advise to use Gentoo, and the included MemTest86, I wouldn't have been able to track down the error to a faulty memory stick that fast since Windows always ran fine.

Problems with Wireless Router and Adapter

I tried posting this in the wireless adapter forum but nobody responded :-(
I'm using a WRT54G Router btw, and the firmware is v2.02.7, Feb. 27, 2004.
Hi everyone,
I have a Linksys Wireless G Router and several computers that I try to connect with. One of them is a computer running Windows XP and using a Linksys Wireless USB B Adapter (WUSB11). Another is a laptop running Mandriva Linux using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card (WPC11). Another one is running Windows Vista and using a Linksys Wireless N card. I also have a laptop running Windows XP using a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (WPC54G). I also have another PC running Windows XP and uses a Linksys Wireless USB Adapter WUSB54G. Finally, I have two macintosh laptops running OSX and with airport devices installed.
Anyway, I have problems with my internet connection frequently being interrupted and even sometimes I won't have a connection at all for hours. This occurs with my Linux laptop, the PC with the Wireless B Adapter, and the laptop using the Wireless G Notebook Adapter. In addition to this, the macintosh laptops have internet even more infrequently. However, I seem to never have a problem with the Windows Vista desktop or the Windows XP desktop that has the Wireless G adapter. I try repairing the connection and often it does not work. I have also tried resetting the router and the cable modem. I'm not sure what else I can do. I even bought a Wireless N router and had little success with that. We even went as far as moving the wireless router upstairs into our living room, thinking that the signal was somehow suffering from interference or that distance was a factor. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I could really use some help!
Thanks.

Hi… logon to wireless N router’s setup page, open I.E. an in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a paassword (default password) without any username...linksys setup pops up, click on on wireless tab and and try changing radio band to wide 40MHz, wide channel to 9 and wireless standard channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change N Transmission rate to 270 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

Problem with Linksys Router Model WRT110 Not Assigning IPs With DHCP?

Hello,
I recently purchased this router (WRT110) to take the place of my old Belkin that was continually dropping connections (which was a real pain when trying to download stuff off the Internet).
However, I cannot get this router to assign IPs to wired or wireless computers. I spent around 2 hours talking to Linksys support technicians (two total) before they finally told me the router was defective.
So, I went back to the store and got an exchange. But, it's the same story with this router, the connections can't get past the "acquiring network address" stage in the connection process.
I would like to think that this has more to do with my ISP than the router, but if I set up a static IP on the wired computer I can connect to the Internet and the router through its default gateway. Setting up a static IP on the wireless computer doesn't seem to work, however. If the ISP was a problem, wouldn't the router not detect the Internet connection at all?
DHCP is definitely enabled on the router also.
My ISP is a small town owned company. I have a wireless broadband connection, which works similarly to satellite, only the connection is broadcast via a tower and is received with an outside antenna.
I still need to contact them about this, but I figured it could hurt to ask here and see some of your suggestions.
Thank you!

UPDATE: I contacted my ISP today and the technician I spoke with said he didn't know of any problems any routers would have with their wireless broadband. I tend to agree with him, as I've configured two routers previously using my connection and I've never had any difficulty until now. He suggested changing the ethernet cable and releasing/renewing my IP address, both of which I did but I continued to have the same issues.
But, after doing some more research I found some settings that actually allowed my wireless computer to connect. There was a post in these forums referring to modifying the MTU, changing it from Auto to Manual and changing the value to 1458 actually seemed to work, as well as strengthening the connection by changing the beacon interval. Anyway, I can connect wirelessly now.
Also, I connected my Linux computer (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron) to the router and was able to connect instantly, no problems whatsoever. So, out of my three computers, two are connecting, but my wired Windows computer is still having issues. However, if I set a static IP for that computer, I can connect fine.
I'm thinking maybe there is something wrong with the NIC card in that computer, but how would one test something like that?
It doesn't make sense to me, I would really appreciate any input. Thank you!

Problem with linux installation on Thinkpad T410i

Hello everyone. I have a problem with an installation of Linux (Debian). Installation ended in my Thinkpad T410i, but when you are starting, the computer constantly restarts. With windows does not happen. What's the problem?
Probe with two versions: one with and one without GUI, and always restarts during startup stage or just finish loading the operating system. If eligo Windows in GRUB, the pc works normally.
I appreciate any help you can give me.

Madhukar,

Connection problems with WRT54G Router PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello all,
Im having a huge issue and im hoping that someone can help me. Awhile ago i changed what i believe to be my router settings using 192.168.1.1 and i believe i added WEP secuirty. I changed my password i know that much. Anyway my problem is this - When i try connecting a router to my computer, i cannot access the internet OR the 192.168.1.1 setup. I just get a yellow caution sign on my wireless settings (running Windows 7), but when i connect my cable modem (Comcast) to my computer, i can access the internet. I have reset both the router and my cable modem MANY times (hard resets) and STILL cannot get the setup page for the router. I have TWO WRT54G rourters and BOTH do the same thing when connected to my desktop , yet BOTH work fine on an old machine running XP, so it is something i did with this computer. Can someone please help me solve this issue? any hlep would be appreciated as i am stumped and do not know how to fix this and cannot use WI-FI or my Xbox 360 until i can fix this..Thanks.

Check the IP address of your computer and see if it's in range with the router's IP.

Tecra S2: Problems with Linux Live CDs after BIOS upgrade

Hi all,
a short while ago I flashed the BIOS of my Tecra S2. My current BIOS version now is 2.80. Unfortunately no I have got problems with booting Linux Live CDs like Knoppix or Kanotix. The boot process freezes, when the PCMCIA module is tried bo be started.
What i want to do now is to downgrade my BIOS version. Does anyone know how that stuff works and does anyone have an old BIOS version from 2005? I couldn`t found older versions on the Toshiba support sites.
Thanks for all answers!
biberkopf

Youre right. On the Toshiba page you will find only the newest version of the BIOS and the older versions are not available on the page.
In my opinion if you want to downgrade the BIOS you have to ask the authorized service provider in your country for the help.
But did you check this useful site:

There you can check the area machine installation help
It provides some useful tips with the device configuration

MSI FX 5700 Ultra problem with linux

Hi,
I know that linux are not officially suported by MSI VGA cards, but NVIDIA based VGA cards use to work under linux. I've got a problem with a recent purchase and until now I didn't found any answer.
Here is my problem, if anyone here have an idea :
I recently upgraded my video card Geforce 2 MX to a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra from MSI (FX 5700 Ultra TD128).
I've an Athlon XP 2000,
motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VAXP, 512 Mb,
distrib Mandrake 9.2
latest nvidia driver 5328
At startup after installation, Mandrake detected a new hardware, but it was not the right card name. The video test failed and X (graphic mode) didn't start.
Back to console mode, I discovered that even the console mode doesn't work properly : I have no cursor and the screen lines don't scroll up when the screen gets full (very hard to type commands or edit files).
I checked the XF86Config-4 : for me it seems ok. Actually, it didn't change from the previous card.
I've no errors in the XFree log (no lines with (EE)).
I went to the MSI site to look for a newer bios version, but there is'nt.
I tried both DVI and VGA connection with my LCD monitor, same thing.
I also tried running Knoppix (liveCD distrib), same prob.
I pasted below the message i've got on screen when I try to start X manually (this doesn't help much either) :
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
It seems to me that this graphic card simply doesn't work under linux.
Thanks a lot for any help.

To get X to work with your LCD during the installation process append nofb as one of the installation options.
I have a 17" LCD so you might like to compare the relevant sections in your XF86Config with these:
Section "Module"
   Load "dbe"
   Load "extmod"
   Load "fbdevhw"
   Load "glx"
Load "dri"
   Load "record"
   Load "freetype"
   Load "type1"
EndSection
(The Load "dri" gets removed prior to installing nvidia's Forceware drivers.)
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "Monitor0"
   VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
   ModelName "CML174SX"
   DisplaySize 340   270
   HorizSync 24.0 - 80.0
   VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
   Option    "dpms"
EndSection

Problems with WRT350N Router

I have had a WRT350N router since they first came out and have had the same problems with it the entire time. I have 2 systems with static IP's, 1 wireless B (dhcp) 2 wireless G (DHCP), and 4 wired devices. (1 Gigabit, 1 10 Base, and 2 100 Base)
1. After the unit has been powered on for a while (a day or so) The DHCP server quits giving IP addresses. (DHCP server unreachable messages)
2. Unable to use the restore config feature. (file uploads and seems to apply yet no changes are actually made.)
3. QOS locks up router. If I try to set up QOS the router has to be reset to factory defaults.
I have kind-of just dealt with it, but the DHCP thing is really bothersome. I have to go in the room with all of my network equipment and power cycle the thing to get an internet connection, that raises the possibility that I will have to reset the other devices.

I am seriously reconsidering returning my WRT350N for another N-based router.   The current firmware is not stable.   I have had a WRT54G V1 and WRT54G V5 for years and never had a signel issue.    Just to make sure I didn't get a bad unit I returned for another so I know it isn't hardware related.
1) DDNS not updating. This has always worked on my WRT54G's without issue
2) XBOX 360 wouldn't stay connect to Live.   Changing MTU size seems to 1365 make more stable
3) Storage support works for a while and then stops or randomly freezes unit.
4) FTP changes require unit to be manually rebooted for changes to take effect.
Really hope a new firmware release is soon.  I love the features of the 350N but
it is not a very stable router at this point.   If DD-WRT releases a firmware that has the storage gui enabled might take a look there but at this point I am frustrated with the unit.

Connection problem with EA3500 router

System consists of cable modem connected to EA3500 dual router and also have a Linksys range extender. Have several wireless devices including desktop PC, cell phones, and tablets that all connect to wireless network without any problem. Have password set up on system. Having a problem with one Acer laptop - when I view my wireless connections I can see HOME and HOME-EXT and it will connect fine with the EXT (range extender) signal but will not connect with the base router that is shown as HOME even though the home connection shows a stronger signal that the ext link. Have checked to make sure that router password is correct - laptop will sometimes connect to HOME for a few seconds and then display "limited connection"
No problems with wireless connections with any other devices. Have rebooted everything in the system with no luck.
Have also tried deleting HOME connection and then reconnecting it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help that anyone may offer.

On the laptop did you try to forget the HOME network and reconnect?
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

TRYING TO SET UP I PAD TO HP AIR PRINTER HAD PROBLEMS WITH ,TALKTALK ROUTER, ASKED AT PC WORLD ADVISED TO BY AIRPORT EXPRESS BUT STILL NO LUCK WILL NOT COMPLETE SET UP. THOUGHT THIS WOULD REPLACE THE ROUTER, I THINK I MAY HAVE BEEN WRONGLY ADVISED

Having problems with air printer to i pad, problem seems to lie with talktalk router, hp solutions managed to get i mac to air printer working but not i pad, adivsed to buy another router as talktalk is not compatiable with bonjour. Went to PC world apple department advised to by airport express. tried setting it up using but will not finalise. i was led to believe this would replace the talktalk router? i feel i have been sold the wrong thing. Any suggestions

This happened to me when I was setting up the wireless router for a friend. The issue is with the Westall modem. You need to go in and setup the "bridge" option on the westell modem. The link below gives directions or you can call bellsouth dsl support (this is how I learned about it).
http://help.bellsouth.net/bellsouth/asp/contentview.asp?isbrowse=true&sprt_cid=3f993409%2Ddff7%2D422...
Good luck
Solution:
Method 1 - Hard Reset
Restore the modem to default settings by pressing the Reset button on the back of the modem and holding it for 3 seconds. (Bridged mode is the default setting for the Westell).
After the modem regains sync, it is in Bridged mode. Do not attempt to surf into the modem as surfing into the modem will enable the Easy Login page and convert the modem from bridged mode to a PPP mode.
Method 2 – Bridged Mode
Access the Westell interface using http://192.168.1.254 or http://launchmodem.
Click on the Broadband DSL Line button.
Click on the Protocols button
Select the radio button to the left of Option 2 (Bridge)
Click the save button. Once the modem has restarted it is in bridge mode.

Runtime.exec() problem with Linux

Hi All,
I have a java program which I am using to launch java programs on all platforms.
I am using the Runtime.exec() method to start the process in a separate JVM.
But, I had a problem with the -classpath switch if the directories contained spaces. So I modified the java command which I am passing to the exec() method to something like:
java -classpath \"./my dir with spaces\" com.harshal.MainThis I had to do because of the problem in windows. But, if I use double quotes in Linux (for the classpath switch in my exec() method), it won't work.
Can anyone correct me so that I can use the Runtime.exec() method on all platforms to launch the java application even if the classpath directories contains spaces.
Thank you very much.

I was reading about the command line args on java's
tutorial and I found a shocking news. Mac OS doesn't
support command line args, That's news to me. Could you please elaborate ?
More important is: I got it working. I figured out I had forgotten to try something before, or, to be more correct, I made an error when trying malcommc's envp suggestion: I used "classpath" as key, not "CLASSPATH", as it should have been.
Ran a new test, got it working.
Sample:
Given a rootdir. Subdirectory "cp test" with a classfile (named "test") without package declaration. Running another class in another directory, using:
String[] cmd = new String[]{
"java", "test"
String[] envp = new String[]{
"CLASSPATH=rootdir:rootdir/cp test" // <-- without quotes.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd, envp);It's been my wrong all the time. I didn't check hard enough. It simply had to work somehow (that's the kind of things that's easy to say afterwards :-)).
