(open)vpn plugin
Hi,
::: yet i haven't checked the CVS HEAD, just the official packages of
ubuntu (+the unofficial vpn packages from
http://bootlab.org/~j/NetworkManager/ ), so maybe these problems are
already solved:
. .. with openvpn i can't define a custom port ('rport' in conf file)
for the vpn connection.
. .. why just one vpn can be active at the same time - i mean if you
have two vpn connections but for two different networks (you define the
addresses for which you want to use the given vpn), it would be handy to
have both of them active. of course this brings up the question that if
the same address range is used in case of both vpns, which one shall be
used at all - maybe the one which got activated the last...?
regards
viktor

Statice IP via predefined lease - doesn't work with nm
Hi all! I just found network-manager and can say, this is exactly what I was still missing. But unfortunately there are still some issues that make it impossible for me to use it: The most important thing is: When on wire I use DHCP at home, but I really need to configure a static IP address at work. Network-manager seems not to be intended for this case, but there is some way to do this: dhclient can be configured to use a predefined lease in case it doesn't get a valid offer from some dhcp server. The problem is, network-manager doesn't recognize this: NetworkManager: information^IWill activate wired connection 'eth0' because it now has a link. NetworkManager: information^IWill activate connection 'eth0'. NetworkManager: information^IDevice eth0 activation scheduled... NetworkManager: information^IDeactivating device eth2. dhclient: There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth2.pid with pid 2805 dhclient: killed old client process, removed PID file dhclient: DHCPRELEASE on eth2 to 131.246.85.254 port 67 NetworkManager: information^IActivation (eth0) started...

NetworkManager: information^IActivation (eth0) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) complete. NetworkManager: information^IDHCP daemon state is now 12 (successfully started) for interface eth0 NetworkManager: information^IDHCP daemon state is now 1 (starting) for interface eth0 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 NetworkManager: information^IOld device 'eth0' activating, won't change. // So far, this is okay, but DHCP fails: dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received. dhclient: Trying recorded lease 131.246.234.80 dhclient: bound: renewal in 101143493 seconds. // This is what I want - DHCP fails an the predefined lease is used, but: NetworkManager: information^IDHCP daemon state is now 8 (timeout) for interface eth0 NetworkManager: information^IActivation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP Configure Timeout) scheduled... NetworkManager: information^IActivation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP Configure Timeout) started... NetworkManager: information^INo DHCP reply received. Automatically obtaining IP via Zeroconf. // Now Network-manager tries to find another IP and kills the above (working!) settings... Is there anything I can do to avoid this? All in all, not needing any configuration is really great for the beginner - but not providing any possibility to tweak things makes it hard to work under all circumstances.. If you need more information about the bug above, please let me know. - Stefan ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Debugging NM + VPNC + Split-DNS
Hi, I've been trying to debug Network Manager + VPNC's SplitDNS configuration. My VPN network administrator claims that they do set multiple DNS domains for a domain search-path, but NM+VPNC isn't configuring that for me. As a result, SplitDNS doesn't seem to be working properly because it's not splitting properly. My first attempt to debug this was to change the call to vpnc to add --debug 99 but I'm not seeing any additional output printed to /var/log/messages. Is there some different way I'm supposed to debug this? Is there some way to get NM + VPNC to print out the full VPNC environment so I can see everything that the server pushed down to me? -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED]PGP key available ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
Starting Network Manager?
NM occasionally refuses to run on startup with my Ubuntu box. The only way I can connect to a wireless access point is then to re-boot, and hope NM starts this time :-(So, two really newbie questions: 1. Is there a list of startup applications I can check?2. When NM is not started, how can I manually start it?-- - Jeff ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

System-Preferences-Sessions-Startup make sure nm-applet --sm-disable is listed 2. When NM is not started, how can I manually start it? hit alt-f2 and type nm-applet --sm-disable Though it is odd that NM isn't starting for you, if you look in syslog do you see any errors? ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
