It should always be in the visual editor, and you can add html tags if you’d like as well.

On a secure system, the root password will be required when going into single user mode. See, for example this link found by searching for 'linux "single user" password'

hi well i never thaught that a gateway will be 192.168.0.254! not from website like https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/network-configuration.html

so right now on pc from my LAN the basic settings are :
ip 192.168.0.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.254

and on my firewall
the eth2 is my adsl interfaces
and
the LAN interfaces :

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.254
dns-nameservers my_dns_ip

my LAN still not ping google.com

your /etc/network/interfaces does not look right syntactically, and even if it did, ip 192.168.0.1 for your lan pc with gateway 192.168.0.1 is plain wrong. Googling should help you solving these kind of issues. http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration contains great material on setting up your network interfaces in Debian.

When pluging your device in a linux box, the device should be detected. running “dmesg” as root might help you seeing the name it is getting. You will then need to create new partitions. “gparted” might help you with this.

Help! After partitioning, I decided I wanted to undo the process, so I deleted the two partitions I made (For me sdc1 and sdc2) After deleting neither ubuntu or windows could even recognize my flash drive anymore, like it doesn’t even exist! Help!

Hi Nadia,

There could be thousand reason why your settings are not working. Did you try to use the 1 simple iptables rule to share your connection?
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o -j MASQUERADE

Your host unreacheable issue sound like a routing issue. Do you give a default route to your LAN devices?

Have you tried to traceroute do a known destination like 8.8.8.8 (google dns).

today i had change the cable to see if it’s ok between the switch and the firewall and still get the same dest. host unreachable error. so it’s not the rj45 cable the problem.
