switched to U-verse, looks like home web server days are done...
DOes anyone have U-verse and have linux behind it?
When I had Time Warner and a router of my choice, I was able to config it how i pleased and used DYNDNS to point the world to my server. Enter U-verse. Now I have a new router I was forced to take with limited controls and my Debian 5 machine can't even connect to the internet, let alone host a website. Anyone else had to deal with U-verse and was still able to host a home website? |
Hi mtlhd, Welcome to LQ. Assuming it's a modem/router combo from AT & T, you should be able to put it into Bridge mode and use whatever router you like.
Good luck. ;-) |

cool, thanks guys
I will check into it. |
found solution!
Well I figured out how to make Uverse and Linux talk.
The simplicity of it angers me now as I never thought of it until talking with my networker friend. the 2wire 3800HGV and Linux do not communicate at all. In fact, the 2 wire sees linux but always sees it as off. Solution: Throw a switch between the linux server and the 2 wire router and it will work. The switch acts as a linux interpreter if you will. so back in business. Linux triumphs :) |
I'd like to say ... Huh?
I was going to simply say Huh but that was too short. I'd guess you have the wrong cord type or the auto negotiate wasn't exactly matched up. |

craziness
I never went to school for any networking so it was a nightmare for me, but i seriously tried everything I could find int he menus for the 2wire, and that switch is the only thing that made it work.
Just don't get it. Upon finally talking to AT&T, they admitted their router almost never communicates with linux. |
"talking to AT&T, they admitted their router almost never communicates with linux."
I know that is the kind of stuff they say. Why help a customer when you can say silly stuff? I admit that I have not seen your system. From what you said you merely installed a simple hub or switch between the linux box and your modem. To me that has almost nothing to do with linux. Sorry they gave you so much trouble. I know people here try to help and in most cases are really nice about it. If you need help in the future, give the folks here a shout. I know a bit but there are plenty of minds here that could guess better than AT&T. I had to spend a year to get ATT to fix their line. They suck at fixing two wires. Might be one too many for them. |
NIC card?
A friend of mine told me it is possibly the NIC card I have in my Linux box that the 2wire didn't like, which sounds more correct to me.
