I was wondering if someone can help me here. I was a real noob and when setting up the fon for the dhcp and 192.168.0.250 I selected apply the changes but now it has changed tht IP address but i don't know it. Can anyone help me? can we reset the fon or something?
-
Are you able to access the Fon using Wifi?
What is the status of the Fon? Did you Flash it yet or do anything in the Jasager tutorial?
Sounds like the Ethernet port on the Fon is not 'On' or you have a bad cable.
What have you done so far?
nah. This pineapple is one that was made by Darren... I live in Australia so wasn't bothered using the substitute wifi AP of the Fon. I have tried with other cables and no luck. I might try it in xp or linux
-
You have to use ssh from the terminal app on your mac.. log in as root to 192.168.1.1 with whatever password you set. Very simple really.
Man I wished it was that easy for me.... for some reason my fon isn't connecting to my laptop via Ethernet
-
Oh k cool... you may be able to help me.
I have all the settings correct and the pineapple is plugged into my macbook pro's ethernet port but my laptop tells me that the cable isn't plugged in as seen in the picture. Any ideas?
-
Is anyone running a pinapple on Mac OSX? I am having some problems connecting to the fon with an ethernet cable and wounder if anyone can help me.
-
Batteries?
I think it's best you try it with the power adapter first...
I know that the ethernet port on the Fon doesn't give out DHCP by default, but if you set your pc ip to a static one in the right range, it should technically work.
Can you connect wireless?
Do you know the default Fon ip?
I would use the power adapter but i live in Australia, we use 240v doesn't USA use 120? I don't want to fry my fon.
Yeah i was trying to set my mac ethernet port to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 but it kept saying that there is not ethernet cable plugged in. Some times it said it was in but it would go away after a while... Maybe the battries are low. Thats all i can think of... Aparently I need to set up a DHCP server... I found this
So i have been following that but have had no success yet :(

Hey guys
I just purchased a Fon from the store and it looks like it is broken...Maybe its me but I don't think so.
I unboxed the Fon, turned it on and plugged in the ethernet cable to my mac book pro. I then changed the IP for the Ethernet port to something in the 192.168.1.* range and when attempting to connect to the Fon, it would fail to connect or ping.
Also sometimes the mac said there was an ethernet cable plugged in and all of a sudden the Ethernet disconnects. In order to connect it again i have to restart the fon and unplug the ethernet cable and plug it back in after I turned it back on again.
Does anyone know what is wrong and how I can fix it? I am quite concerned as i just purchased the product and I am yet to test it out on my network.
Could it be the batteries?
-
has anyone tried this yet with the cable into the fon with the iphone cable and internet tethering turned on since 3.0
I have an iPhone with 3.0 and tethering enabled... my pinaple is coming next week so I am gonna try using the iPhone as the internet from the fon.
-
One of my connections is with internode so i've had a bit of usenet experience through that. It's only a low quota plan though because it's not primarily for downloading stuff. They basically provide i dunno what you'd call it.. maybe "proxy/peering" access to giganews servers in the US.
With TPG you'd need to buy your own account with giganews/astraweb/rapidshare/useneXt .. etc etc etc. There're probably a million of them to choose from.
sweet... yeah I will have to think about which account to get.
-
hey your from Australia as well BieRHeDD :)
Yeah true they don't aye. haha yeah bloody filtering idea is crap.
oh right wow i learned something about usenet and .nzb files
Yeah I have TPG 200GB plan, its sick... thats why i need the new HDD's... run out of space too quickly :P esp when my ADSL 2 lets me download at 2MB/s max :) constant 2MB/s for everything would be sweet.
Have you got a giganews account or something similar to that?
-
Fair enough I understand it now... sounds pretty cool... although I am able to RDP to my server and download torrents this will be better :)
haha fibre connection :P I wish i had a fibre connection... bloody Australia internet is hopeless at the moment.
When i go to the administration settings it has an option about default bitTorrent client... whats that all about. What do u have it set to miT?
sure I will most likely be on the IRC after the exams.
So is Newsgroup realy good? Does it have everything there and fast speeds?
-
I couldn't recommend Torrentflux any more than i already have.
I don't know if you use newsgroups at all, but if you do, check out SABnzbd. It's the same concept of a web interface with everything working in the background (like torrentflux) and it handles everything for you (par repair, unrar and even clean up of files that are no longer needed).
On top of those, i run museeqd to download music from the soulseek servers (p2p). You use a client app (museek+) to connect to your daemon and queue up all your downloads. Works wonderfully.
This trifecta on my linux server makes me very VERY happy.
K i just installed torrent flux on my VM image of Ubuntu 8.04 (testing image)
i have a number of questions about getting it to work propperly but I should be studying for exams so i will ask them later... One thing.. whats the point of torrentflux? it needs a torrent client as well right? and can it scheduale downloads say like at midnight till 9am then stop downloading?
nah haven't used newsgroups... ah right sweet... sounds good... looks loke a good holiday project for me all this stuff :)
-
One word: Torrentflux
I can't believe you're running an ubuntu torrent server with uTorrent + Wine. I cant even imagine whats that like, lol
lol yeah i suppose i didn't know that linux had a torrent client like torrent flux and i certainly didn't know they had azurues on linux... lol idn how i went past that one :P yeah ubuntu with uTorrent & Wine is alright.... the odd lock up iof the OS every month or so but other than that i really didn't see an issue. Now that i have time and money... i want to fix that mistake :)
-
Looks like a good setup. I use the WD 1TB blacks in my setup and they are awesome (6x drives, 4TB raid5 with one hot spare) I'll probably grow it to 5TB and lose the hot spare when i need the space.
I know you're getting the RAID card so this may not be relevant but just in case you're interested i've only ever used ...
Yeah It should be good. oh right yeah thats a good idea... have a spare 1TB in case one dies and you need to get the raid up quick.
ohh right the software RAID, cool... I think i will do a hardware RAID... the hightpoint cards now have Ubuntu support with their software so i should be good with that...i hope :P
If i have issues i will ask you how u did the software raid. Nice speed man... 80MB/s... is hardware RAID faster?
So yeah there is software and driver support for linux and drivers for Ubuntu.
Yeah I might not use Ubuntu server if i am gonna use GNOME.
Something just clicked man... I have a P4 and my mother board doesn't have PCI Express support... what should I do? they don't have PCI express motherboards for P4 do they? what do you recommend i get?

Hi, I did a similar upgrade last week. I use the server to also run a few virtual machines (vmware server 2) as well as SMB and NFS. Let me start by saying that if you use NFS for your fileshares that the GA-EX58-UD5 uses two Realtek 8111D chips for its onboard dual LAN. And the linux kernel doesn't play well with this chip currently (apparently a fix is in store for kernel 2.6.30 but that is cutting edge and even when i compiled it myself (rc8) it still didn't quite work.
The problem was the motherboard basically does a hard reset randomly during a heavy load NFS<-->RAID operation. Sometimes I could get 10gig+ transferred before it would reboot but other times much smaller.This is obviously not ideal when you're talking multi gigabyte raid volumes that need to resync / fsck after each random reboot. This problem had me trying different distros (with different kernels) for a full week but each one ended up the same.
In the end i relegated the i7 to be my desktop machine, and now iuse my E8500/8gig/ASUS-P5E-VM-HDMI box as the server which has worked flawlessly using ubuntu 8.04.2 server (no gui).
My advice to you would be to use your current machine if you only want it for filesharing. If you have a small case, buy a big one. Check out Lian-Li PC-A77 or PC-343. (I got the A77) then as you have on your list a 4 or 8 port hardware RAID card that is capable of SAS and using expanders. I was looking at an Adaptec ASA1405 (up to 128 drives with expanders). Of course check your current motherboard has a PCIe 4x or above slot free to house the card.
Bottom line is unless you want to use Windows then the currently available 1366 motherboards all seem to have realtek 8111 LANs. (well the good ones) So you may run into the same problems as I had.
Good luck with it.
Cheers,

Thanks for the heads up BieRHeDD...thats anoying aye.... I have decided to keep my hardware and just get the drives, a new PSU and a RAID card. I will most likely load up Ubuntu server 8.04 server and install gnome coz i feal that i will have more controll with that over no gui. Nice case btw... i already have a Antec 4U22ATX Case which has enough room for me... i am going to get a 5 bay hot swap for it... idn what i will do when i need more drives, i may be able to take out the fan on the other side of the case and get another 5 slots out of it so i can have 8 HDDS in there in a RAID 5 config. i am not sure if i want to put them inside the case coz its a bitch to get out and open coz it weight >22KG :P I don't think i will ever go over 8 HDDs... its only for home use and I am 19... I don't know what i will do in the future so I am thinking that 8 Ports might be good enough... what do u think?

My mate has a coolermaster stackewr with 50 HDD and 22.5 TB of storage space.
I can link to the build log if there is any interest ( or non-beleivers lol)
shit thats sweet... yes do link. I am very interested in seeing this setup... The more storage space the better i always say
-
BTW, just to add, you are looking at the WD Caviar drives? You might want to look either at the WD 1T Green Drives *better efficiency* or the WD 1T Black Drives *better performance*.
And I also agree that your going a lil' overkill with that. Why do you want so much space btw? You should invest in some hot-swap bays as well, and I would go with a large case w/ @ least 5 large front bays to accomodate the hot-swap bays.
Oh woops, yeah the black drives are the better ones. I was reading that... I don't know why i chose that Caviar ones.
lol yeah I might just look for a 4 port raid card. and get another raid card when I run out of space... I am the 'torrent king' after all ahha i need my space. I am downloading about 200GB/month and I thought I might as well just get enough space to last a while. But now that I come to think of it I might just get a 4 port card because most of the drives would be on and not needed. dw I have a case.... It is a rack mountable server case.... it has 6 large front bays... I was thinking of looking into getting hot swap bays for them, that would be kinda cool.

i agree that stuff is over kill for you purposes you would be wasting you money IMHO i think you should consider extending you storage for sure maybe get a couple of 1TB drives and use them externally as additional storage maybe move the old data on the externals for an archive and use the internals for everyday use. that's essentially what i do with my whs system. i have about 1TB of internal storage that i use to run my nightly diffs and to stream content to my 360 and other computers and i have a RAID array running on usb and i use sync toy every couple off weeks to move my video and stuff like that over to the RAID to keep the internal storage free. a bit inefficient i know but i haven't had the time to implement an automatic solution. btw that server is an old p D 820 running 2.8 and 1.5 gigs of RAM. even with every computer streaming at the same time it never breaks a sweat i use maybe 50% cpu at the max
Okay I guess I will keep my current CPU, RAM and motherboard. I will just look into getting a RAID 5 card and Drives... I was thinking of just getting the 8 drives so i won't need to buy more later and therefore have to rebuild the raid... Alternatively I could get a 4 port RAID card and buy another one later when i need it. I like the USB backup storage Idea. I might do that also when i get everything cleaned up

I don't think you need any thing more powerful, more efficient would be nice from the less electricity side. P4 at 3GHz is crap for a desktop, for a computer that doesn't do much that's fine. You probably don't need 1GB RAM either, 512MB would do.
RAID0? Unless you don't care about the data on there that's not particularly good. You should consider getting either two 2TB drives and putting them in RAID1 or 3 1TB drives and putting them in RAID5. Each will result with 2TB of relatively secure storage, the two 2TB drives would be more efficient in terms of power usage, but the three 1TB are probably cheaper initially.
Oh k cool. I suppose keeping my current setup would be cheaper.
Yeah I should have mentioned that I don't want RAID 0 because there is no data redundancy. My brother did that. I am thinking of a hardware RAID 5 with 3 or more 1TB drives. If I decide to buy more 1TB drives can i add them to the raid or to I need to rebuild the raid again and loose the data?

Hey guys and girls
This is kinda related to the server segments on the show but this is more for home use so odviously I don't have heeps of money to spent.
My current setup is P4 3.0Ghz, 1GB ram, 1TB( 2x500GB) in RAID 0 (software raid) running under Ubuntu. It stores pretty much everything I have and its full :( It is setup with uTorrent with wine (windows emulation) that has time scheuleing for downloads and looks at rss feeds for my latest TV shows and downloads it for me. I am sharing all this content over my gigabit network (majority of computers are macs).
I want to upgrade to something more powerfull and much more space. Call me crazy but I am thinking of getting the these stuff
Let me know what you think for an OS and any hardware changes that you would make. cheers.

Unable to connect to fon... don't know IP
in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III
Posted
I was but it wasn't set up with DHCP. I set it up as a DHCP server and i was able to connect to the fon. I tried it again and i am unable to connect the fon :( The missle light is on steady and flashes every know and then. What does that mean? I go the the DHCP ip table and i can't see the Fon and can't find it with nmap. I am using the range 10.0.0.1 ->1.0.0.254 is that okay?
any suggestions of hoe to get it too work. Initially the wifi worked on it and now i noticed that the Pinaple SSID is no longer available.... I am having such bad luck with this :(
