Can't configure wired network connection at University

#1 Post by yosi666 »

Hi,
I have recently moved to China and work in a University. My apartment has a dsl cable from the University network. They have configured the connection in Windows using a program called Inode Intelligent Client that creates a connection (in which I have to enter my username and password, it has 802.1X protocol and I enable the Upload Ipv4 adress).
Later I have to modify the Ipv4 config of my ethernet card with my Ip, gateway, mask and DNS servers.
Nobody here knows how to make this connection in Linux. I have managed to make it work under my other Linux distro, Linuxmint 13. It was very easy following these manuals:
http://www.tc.mtu.edu/resnet/configurat ... Config.pdf
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2059808
The only difference is that I didn't need to enable the Protected EAP (PEAP)
option. With MD5 Authentication works great

I would love to make it work in my puppy (slacko 5.5) which is my everyday use distro but I have not succeeded so far. I found this post from the forum, talks about the wpa_supplicant.conf file, but it is too technical for me and have no idea how to modify it or even if that would help:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 59c1de75a2

I guess that it is quite easy to configure the connection in both Windows and Ubuntu it will be also possible in Puppy. Can anyone give a hand with this? I would love to keep using my Puppy as usual! :D

Thanks!

Yes, you need to follow a similar process that was discussed in that other thread. And yes, all setup is manual, but if you can work your way through it, once tested and working, the commands can be all be run from a single script, and even launched from a desktop icon if you wish.

First you need to run the Network Wizard, and configure your eth0 interface for "Static IP", then reboot.
Your connection will still fail ... but at least you have now disabled the DHCP daemon (dhcpcd) from running at startup - which would ultimately interfere with your final configuration.

Now open /etc/wpa_supplicant in Geany. Delete its entire contents, and replace with these lines, which I obtained just with a Google search -

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=0
eapol_version=2

network={
	key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
	eap=TTLS MD5
	identity=MYLOGINNAME
	anonymous_identity=MYLOGINNAME
	password=MYPASSWORD
	phase1="auth=MD5"
	phase2="auth=PAP password=MYPASSWORD"
	eapol_flags=0 
}
You can just copy and paste. Replace MYLOGINNAME and MYPASSWORD with your correct values. Save.

Next open /etc/resolv.conf in Geany, to configure your nameservers.
There should be one or more lines which start with "nameserver"
and possibly also a line which starts with "domain". Your network administrator can give you the correct values. Save.

Now you're ready to connect. First open a console and run this command, to clear any stale WPA run files -

Code: Select all

rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/*
Now the big test; run this command to connect -

Code: Select all

wpa_supplicant -i eth0 -D wired -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
Hopefully you will see a connection reported. If so, you can open a second console and set up your static IP address -
don't trust the static IP setup that automatically runs at boot up, because the process needs to be done after the wpa_supplicant command has run.

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.254 eth0
Replace IP addresses with your correct values.

Let us know the outcome.

And your network doesn't require a client certificate/private key file, does it?

Hi tempestuous!
Thank you very much for your answer. I am not home right now, so I will try this tonight or tomorrow. I don't think it requires a private key file. The data that they have given me are: User, Password, IP, gateway, mask and DNS servers. They have nothing else, but with this data I can configure the connection in both Ubuntu and Windows so I think that with your instructions (and maybe some more help... :D ) I will be able to establish this connection. I will let you know when I try to configure.

OK, the only thing missing is the "broadcast" IP address, which is required in the command that starts with "ifconfig ..."
But you can (pre)determine this value from your IP and mask values, with this command -

Code: Select all

ipcalc -b <IP_ADDRESS> <NETMASK> | cut -d= -f2
It's usually similar to your IP address, except with the final number in the string replaced with "255".

I got it too. That is what I called the IP gateway. Cool... Feel I will have it soon :D

Generally, that's not correct, the broadcast address and gateway address should be different.
The values I provided in the example commands are typical for a local LAN; notice that Broadcast is 192.168.0.255 and Gateway is 192.168.0.254

Well. Don't have it yet.
This is what I have done:
1.-Established my Static Ip and DNS manually trough network manager. Rebooted.
2.-Edited my etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file as follows (xxxx is my user id and yyyy my password):

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant 
ap_scan=0 
eapol_version=2 

network={ 
   key_mgmt=IEEE8021X 
   eap=TTLS MD5 
   identity=xxxx 
   anonymous_identity=xxxx
   password=yyyy
   phase1="auth=MD5" 
   phase2="auth=PAP password=yyyy"  
   eapol_flags=0 
}
3.-Edited /etc/resolv.conf and it shows my correct DNS:

Code: Select all

nameserver 61.139.2.69
nameserver 210.41.160.2
4.-Ran # rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/*:

Code: Select all

rm: cannot remove ‘/var/run/wpa_supplicant/*’: No such file or directory
5.-Configured manually my eth0 with:

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 192.172.18.35 broadcast 192.172.18.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 
route add default gw 192.172.18.254 eth0
6.-Finally ran # # wpa_supplicant -i eth0 -D wired -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd:

Code: Select all

wpa_supplicant v1.0

Line 14: failed to parse network block.

Still not working. Tried rebooting but nothing happens. Don't know if it is good or not but the two little monitors in the right-bottom part of my screen show some kind of exchange and go green from time to time. :D

If I run
ifconfig eth0
I get

Code: Select all

Your wpa_supplicant output reports positive responses to:
key_mgmt (line 6)
eap methods (line 7)
phase 1 (line 11)
phase 2 (line 12)
eapol_flags (line 13)

But it gives "failed to parse" responses to:
identity line 8
anonymous_identity (line 9)
password (line 10)

Does your username (identity) and password contain non-standard characters? Or spaces?
Try enclosing these values in quotation marks.

And another little error - the ifconfig/route commands must be run after wpa_supplicant, not before.

Those values look good.

Ok, writing password and user between quotes seems to have made wpa_supplicant read these values but internet still doesn't work.
This is my wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant 
ap_scan=0 
eapol_version=2 

network={ 
   key_mgmt=IEEE8021X 
   eap=TTLS MD5 
   identity="xxxx" 
   anonymous_identity="xxxx" 
   password="yyyy" 
   phase1="auth=MD5" 
   phase2="auth=PAP password=yyyy"  
   eapol_flags=0 
}
I got this after running wpa_supplicant:

Code: Select all

After that I ran:

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 192.172.18.35 broadcast 192.172.18.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 
route add default gw 192.172.18.254 eth0
But no changes. :?
But it seems we are getting somewhere! :)

OK, now it's just a question of getting the wpa_supplicant.conf contents correct. I had another look at the wpa_supplicant README, and I see one potential change which looks promising:
change

Code: Select all

phase2="auth=PAP password=MYPASSWORD"
to

Code: Select all

phase2="autheap=MSCHAPV2 autheap=MD5"
This appears to be the correct corresponding value for "phase2" when using "eap=TTLS MD5"

But if still no success, I think you should show your wpa_supplicant.conf to one of your network administrators - even though they may not be familiar with Linux (and wpa_supplicant) they will probably recognise the different terms contained within the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

Hi again!
Not success yet. Although I think it was a good try as my Ubuntu connection only uses MD5.
I got this output (some differences with the previous one, but don't understand them. I don't see my password anywhere):

Ah, that final line of output looks good! Despite its vagueness, I think it means success!
Your terminal is now tied up with the wpa_supplicant process, which continues to run as a daemon.
Open a second terminal, and run the ifconfig/route commands, and you may have a successful connection!

Did it, but no success... :(
I do it when the wpa_supplicant process is running in the other terminal. Then, I open another one and run the other commands. I open Chrome and nothing...
No help from the network managers...
