[SOLVED] Can't connect to wifi if Ethernet is connected

I have a arch desktop with samba and ssh configured connected to a WiFi router/ADSL2 modem via ethernet.
I was not able to connect any of my mobile devices (phones and tablet) or my netbook (running windows 7 basic) to the WiFi router suddenly a few weeks back. The issue resolved when I removed the PC Ethernet cable from the router (when I disconnected the PC from router).
My router is D-Link DSL 2730 U
On logging into another user (not main user) everything works fine.
Nothing changes when I stopped samba and ssh services. Infact these services which are configured as root, start before the login and work fine with the other user.
I use console without any gui to login. I startx manually after logging in. This problem does not occur on logging in. It starts only when I startx.
On using wireshark to capture traffic on the ethernet port, this line keeps repeating:
Time source destination protocol length(in bytes) information
0.007238000 192.168.1.100 224.0.0.56 UDP 1334 Source port: 38854 Destination port: 46198
I have no idea what to do beyond this. The internet works fine when logged into main user. However other devices are not able to connect.
Please tell me how to resolve this and what is happening.

The devices can see the SSID however connecting takes too long, many times it fails and in the rare instance it connects internet does not work (its too slow so web pages say server timed out) neither does samba (this is also too slow I think, using ES explorer in android just keeps trying to connect till it displays server offline or wlan not connected error).
I use cinnamon updated to the last version. So startx launches cinnamon.
I don't know much about media servers. I have vlc installed but not set it up as media server. I installed and used VLC remote (android app) to control the vlc player from android, however this works without a hitch in the other user. I use samba to stream videos if needed.

Can't set up wifi or ethernet connection after clean installing XP

Hi, I recently done a clean install of XP on a friends Toshiba Equim M50-164 PSM57E laptop using instructions from this link.
http://www.easydesksoftware.com/I386.htm
I am now having extreme difficulty setting up the wifi internet connection, no wireless icon is appearing in the bottom right of screen. I tried downloading Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter 7.7.0.406.2 onto an external drive then transferring it to the Toshiba laptop but still it will not work.
It seems the drivers are not installing properly and are not showing up in Device Manager, nor can I connect to the internet using a usb cable.
Please help as my friend is extremely angry and I am now at a loss what to do.
Thanks in advance.

Can't use private wifi or ethernet but Wifi with F...

Hi
We've had a Homehub3 for two years now with no problems. Last week there was a day's electricity power down locally for maintenance and when the power came back on the internet connection was broken. No wifi or ethernet worked but I could connect fine through all our devices via wifi with FON.
As background at home we have iphones, ipads, macbook and pc laptops connected to the wifi as well as PVR, Xbox and powerline routers plugged in to the ethernet, plus an ethernet cable to connect to laptops where required (for scenarios like this).
BT spent an hour and a half with me trying to resolve this before sending me a replacement Homehub 3. We received this yesterday, plugged it in and connected the various wifi devices. The situation is almost the same except one ipad does connect directly through the private wifi network (the other doesn't), and one iphone also does (again, the other doesn't). Nothing works through ethernet, but again, everything works via wifi with FON.
Obviously we've done lots of rebooting and resetting of hubs and equipment (with delay time before turning back on) but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be widely appreciated but please be aware I'm not particularly technical and a bit of a numpty so basic guidance would be a big help.
Thanks
Jules
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the response.
I did the pin in the back/factory reset four times with no joy on the previous hub and deleted all connections. I can give it a try with the new hub that has arrived to see if that makes a difference but as it's a totally different and new hub I don't think that will make a difference as all of the connections were new anyway.
Ethernet made no difference in the past after this. I can try a different cable but the other ethernet cables that connect the Xbox and PVR aren't working either so I don't think the issue is isolated to the cable.
I haven't reset the powerline hubs so can look into that.
I'll try all of the suggestions after work later and post back but as they're all things I've tried and we've got a brand new hub I'm not confident it will make a difference so any alternative suggestions I can try are also very welcome.
Thanks
Jules

[SOLVED] Can't connect to internet after installation

Hello, I just installed Arch, and during the installation I connected to wifi (obviously, since I had to download the packages) with iwconfig and all the other tools on the installer, but after the installation I wasn't connected any more. I have no idea how to connect to the internet now, all the guides online say to run iwconfig or any of the other connection tools, which I can't do since I don't HAVE them.
I can't connect through ethernet either, I think either the ethernet port on my laptop is broken, or the drivers just aren't working (apparently people on the forums have the same problem with my chipset). My friend told me to try sudo wifi-menu, but apparently I need to install dialog for that, which, of course, requires internet connection.
Should I plug in the USB again, and try something with that? Is there any way to set up a wifi connection without using all the fancy connection tools that I don't have? Sorry if I'm being dumb, I have absolutely no idea how to connect. The wiki doesn't help, and neither does google.

I think with the last few times I've done an ArchLinux installation, I've literally set-up the whole thing (as in done base, base-devel, networkmanager, X and a DE) in the Arch LiveCD. LightDM isn't happy being set-up in the LiveCD environment though I've noticed.
For this, I use pacstrap for base and base-devel and then pacman for the rest.

[Solved] Can't connecto to wifi using NetworkManager

Hello,
for some reasons, I can't connect to my WiFi network using NetworkManager. What's weird, is that my network and all the other networks around coming from my neighbours' houses are displayed, but I can't connect to any of them, including mine...
The wired connection works just fine (that's why I'm able to post this message), but I can't get the wireless one to work. NetworkManager is configured to use dhcpcd for dhcp by the way.
When I try to connect I usually don't get any notifications, but if I press several times the connect button this will be displayed
Typing systemctl --type=service outputs this.

Can I interchange using wifi and ethernet to backup my iMac using Time Capsule?

I just recently restored my iMac from a backup on my time capsule. Now, when I try to do another backup, it takes too long to backup and it seems to do a full backup.
My question is, can I do this bakup over ethernet then when finished, do it over wifi for the next backups?
Can I do this without changing any settings?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
My imac is not in the same room as my TC.
I was wondering if I disconnect from the router, bring my TC to my imac, backup thru ethernet, finishnbacking up, then take the TC back to my room, then backup over wifi for the next ones? Without changing any settings from TC and my iMac?

[solved] Can't connect to samba shares

This is probably my fault, but for the life of me I can't figure this out. I started out trying to get usershares to work by following the wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/samba, and I am unable to connect to the resulting shares either from the local host or from my netbook. It tells me permission denied. I then tried creating a public share with guest access, because I couldn't get the usershares to work. I am unable to get that working either. I have
chmod 777 -R
the folder I am sharing, as well as the
/var/lib/samba/usershare
folder. Please help. Here is my smb.conf:
#======================= Global Settings =====================================

uninstalled samba, reinstalled it. deleted old config file. created new config with just the contents that the wiki states is necessary for usershares to work. the current smb.conf looks like
[global]
usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershare
usershare max shares = 100
usershare allow guests = yes
usershare owner only = False
added my user to samba using
pdbedit -a -u mdshann
started smbd and nmbd and enabled both. tried to share a folder, caja says samba is not installed. use yaourt to search for caja and find package mate-file-manager-share. installed said package, killed and restarted caja. shared folder and told it to add permissions automatically. checked the boxes to allow guest and to allow users to change files. still I cannot connect. just for reference, I have used the wiki article sections from the beginning of the article through adding a user. I did not use the creating a share section as I want usershares to work through MATE and CAJA. It creates the share and it is visible on the network, I just can't connect to it.
Pretty much the same as what I tired before, with the same result. Only difference is I haven't tried manually creating the share through smb.conf, but that didn't work before either. No reason to think it will work now, the problem was the same whether I used the gui usershares option or adding the share to smb.conf.
I was able to get samba working with a very similar config file as in my first post, on arch based manjaro on my server at work. I did not enable or use usershares at work, but creating the shares in smb.conf worked just fine. Why will the same procedure not work on arch? Same packages for the most part, manjaro just adds a few. In fact, when I set up samba on manjaro, I used the arch wiki article, as Manjaro's wiki is sparse. Main reason we used manjaro at work was the speed of installation was much quicker, and we needed the machine back up quickly so we could start backing up our customers data. (I own a PC repair shop.)
On a side note, this community has served me well in the past the few times I have have issues since I started using arch 5 years ago. Why my post has gone so long without a reply other than being chastised for trying to call attention to a 3 day old unanswered thread is beyond me, but I am not thrilled by it. It has now been a full 2 weeks since my original post. I have never had this issue before, and if I can't bump or somehow call attention to my thread I am unsure of how to get help. Am I supposed to keep posting new threads on the same issue? I would think those would get closed rather quickly if I had. Should I post nonsense on this thread, I mean anything other than the word bump. A discussion of cat videos maybe?

[Solved] Can't Connect To Webmin

edit: Apparently shorewall was blocking the connection, but does anyone know how to get rid of that error message?
I've installed webmin from the repositories and it starts successfully, but I can't connect to it. I've enabled access to other hosts and I have tried to access it via HTTP and HTTPS, along with via the IP address and the hostname. Nothing works.
Here's some of the info from the journal

Can MBP run both WiFi and Ethernet connections at same time?

I've been running my mid-2012 MBP via USB and WiFi.
I acquired 8-port 10/100Mbp Switch. Can I run hardware like printers, external HD from MBP via the Ethernet switch and still keep USB connections and WiFi net for other purposes at same time?
(I found USB-ethernet adapters on internet)

Macs and many PCs can keep multiple network connections going. When you look at the list of connections in the Network system preference, the one on top is the primary connection and if you want another network interface to be the primary (like Ethernet) you use Set Service Order to drag it to the top of the list.
But when you do that, I think all services use whatever is primary. What I don't know how to do is make specific applications use specific network interfaces.

I solved the problem by replacing
/etc/systemd/system/netctl\@ethernet\\x2ddhcp.service
.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]
[Unit]
Description=A basic dhcp ethernet connection
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device
with
.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]
[Unit]
Description=A basic dhcp ethernet connection
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp0s25.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp0s25.device
I'm not sure whether this is the best way to solve the problem. If somebody knows a better solution it would not hurt to post it here.

[solved] Can't connect to network with 64-bit kernel

On 64-bit Arch Linux, I can't get any network access. On 32-bit Arch Linux, I can connect to my router with an ethernet cable or a wireless card using dhcpcd or networkmanager.
In 64-bit, I have tried
- Upgrading my kernel from 3.3.8 to 3.4.2 from the testing repos
- Getting networkmanager-git from AUR
- Using the r8168 driver for my ethernet card (which is actually exactly the same one as the one from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … k_messages )
But I haven't been able to get "dhcpcd eth0" to tell me anything but
dhcpcd[677]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[677]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[677]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[677]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[677]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[677]: eth0: no IPv6 Routers available
while "dmesg | tail" fills with
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
My rc.conf has the correct settings for dhcp:
interface=eth0
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
I can get whatever 64-bit packages I need to get the internet to work in 64-bit linux by downloading them in 32-bit linux and then upgrading to 64-bit linux.
My goal is to get networking to work on 64-bit linux through either eth0 or wlan0 (eventually I'll need wlan0 but right now neither works, so if one starts working, the other probably will), or for someone to say "It's impossible dude, go download opensuse and see if you get a different damning error over there".
Happy trails,

Yes. Networking doesn't work on the 64-bit install disk either though, which obviously doesn't share its /etc with anything.

Have you tried dhclient instead of dhcpcd ?
I have. No cake.

[SOLVED] Can't connect to Facebook

For the past couple months, neither of my web browsers (Epiphany or Chromium) can get anywhere past the newsfeed on facebook.com. If I click on a link at the news feed, it loads for a couple of minutes, then (chromium) shows me a message:
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.
I've tried using a different account and purging the cache, ala https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131070 but to no avail. Strangely enough, Facebook works perfectly fine in all of my VMs. Any ideas?

Haha, I would have already if it wasn't so useful
I find it strange that it's just this one webpage. Doesn't seem to happen to anything else. I can ping facebook fine.
There is a lot more to Facebook slow connection problems than just seeing if you can ping them - I monitor http://downrightnow.com/facebook which tells you whether there is a general problem getting the Facebook servers to respond to login and user requests to do a whole slew of things once logged in - very frequently they have severe slowness to respond even when pinging seems fine! My guess is that their servers simply can't deal with the load a lot of the time. They are building new server farms (for example one in FInland but it won't be brought into service for another year or so at least) - so in the meantime we get periods when more users are trying to use Facebook than they can handle - but there is no-one I can find to talk to about it or any official server status page to look at!
Good luck.
Hmm, very cool site. I'll keep that one bookmarked. I'm pretty sure it has to do with me though: native browsers don't work but VMs do (at the same time). Also, my android device using wifi on the same network works fine.

**Solved** "Can't connect to server" problem

If you connect to your wireless network and cannot use safari or youtube, i know how to solve your problem.
-Open settings, select "wi-fi"
- Select "DNS", then scroll over all the way to the left and delete the first set of numbers
- Try safari again, and see if it works
- If not, delete the next set of "dns" numbers
- Continue until it works, (it did for me!)

Hi eveyone again.
Iv'e hopefully found all the data I need for someone to help me. When I go to the Wi-Fi settings on the touch only IP and Subnet Mask details come up (which come up as 169.254.211.37 and 255.255.0.0 respectfully. All the rest are blank.
After looking on my computer through the ipconfig/all data on my computer I got the following:
Description: Intel(R) PRO/WIRELESS 3945ABG Network
Physical Address: 00-1B-77-3B-F2-59
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
Link-local IPv6: fe80::6ce:a3d8:23ad%11
IPv4 Address: 10.0.0.3 (preferred)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.138
DHCP Server: 10.0.0.138
DHCPv6 IAID: 285219703
DNS Servers: 10.0.0.138
I have a Siemens SpeedStream 6520 Wireless ADSL Gateway Router and have found the Wi-Fi WEP key Code, Wi-Fi SID (which is SpeedStream8993 although this comes up on the ipod as well as the internet sign on the ipod), Wi-Fi pin and our usename and password which I presume is for the internet (even though we never use it. i think its more our email internet account for bigpond - our server)
I hope this is all the information needed in order for someone to help. As you can tell I'm not very tech savy. Also if smeone is kind enough to reply and help could you tell me whether to have the settings on DHCP (which I've been doing), BootP or Static as well as whether the HTTP Proxy needs to be on 'Off', "Manual' or 'Auto' (all of which I have tried, entering the required data).
Looking forward to hearing your answers

(SOLVED) Can't Connect Wiimote after Windows 7 64-bit install (T61p)

Hello. I have a T61p that originally had Vista 32-bit on it. I used to use my Wiimote as a gamepad, I'd just have to press the sync button and it would work with the computer. Since I installed Windows 7 64-bit though, it won't. I've turned the Bluetooth adapter on and off with Fn-F5 several times.
I tried BlueSoliel and it worked yesterday but not today. Also it is an evaluation copy, and I do not plan on buying the full product.
edit: okay I uninstalled BlueSoliel and installed the 64 bit Vista driver and I can connect the Wiimote to the computer, however, it won't register any buttons being pressed, and when I go the the Game Controller Test screen it is empty.
edit2: I forgot you need to use GlovePIE. Seems to be working fine now. Sorry for wasting anyone's time.

No problem, thanks for posting your fix.
