==Hamachi== |

I detail how to install Hamachi on my [[User:Mistapotta/Hamachi|Hamachi]] page. |
|||
==Pidgin== |
|||
Part of the reason I want to install [http://www.hamachi.cc Hamachi] is so my son will be able to view videos on our home server. I have DVD's ripped to the harddrive, and <code>[http://www.gnome.org/projects/totem/ totem]</code> is pre-installed on the OLPC. I've got Hamachi VPN on all the computers in the house, and would like to add it. |
|||
I'm working on how to install Pidgin at my [[User:Mistapotta/Pidgin|Pidgin]] page. More will be up as I get a chance to work on it. |
|||
===Downloading Hamachi=== |
|||
You need to get a copy of the code for Hamachi and put it in the <code>/usr/src</code> folder, We'll start by switching to the superuser, then getting the source code |
|||
<code><PRE> |
|||
su |
|||
wget http://files.hamachi.cc/linux/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz |
|||
tar -xvzf hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz |
|||
</PRE></code> |
|||
This creates a folder <CODE>hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx</CODE> which will hold the source code. |
|||
===Installing <code>make</code>=== |
|||
To continue the install. you have to switch to the directory and type <code>make install</code>. <code>make</code> is not already installed on OLPC, so you need to install it by typing |
|||
<code><PRE>yum install make</PRE></code>. It should install all the necessary parts to make. |
|||
===Installing the Hamachi program=== |
|||
To install the hamachi executables (<code>hamachi</code>, <code>hamachi-init</code>, and <code>tuncfg</code>), you'll need to change to the directory and type <code>make install</code>. Then you need to type <code>tuncfg</code> to start the tunnel configuration (Hamachi uses ssh to tunnel to other members of the VPN.) |
|||
<code><PRE> |
|||
cd hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz |
|||
make install |
|||
tuncfg |
|||
</PRE></CODE> |
|||
===Accessing the existing Hamachi VPN=== |
|||
Set up a shell file (I called mine <code>hama.sh</code>) with the following lines of code: |
|||
<code><pre> |
|||
tuncfg |
|||
hamachi-init -c /etc/hamachi |
|||
hamachi -c /etc/hamachi start |
|||
hamachi -c /etc/hamachi set-nick olpc |
|||
hamachi -c /etc/hamachi login |
|||
hamachi -c /etc/hamachi join NETWORKNAME NETWORKPASSWORD |
|||
hamachi -c /etc/hamachi go-online NETWORKNAME |
|||
</pre></code> |
|||
In the code above, change olpc to whatever name you want, or leave it. Change <code>NETWORKNAME</code> and <code>NETWORKPASSWORD</code> to the VPN Network Name and Network Password. |
|||
Then type ./hama.sh to execute it. This will connect you to the network. |
|||
===At this point...=== |
|||
If you type <code>ifconfig</code>, you should see something like this: |
|||
<code><pre> |
|||
bash-3.2# ifconfig |
|||

The important part is you now have <code>ham0</code> as a network adaptor. At this point, you can access other computers (via <code>ssh</code>, <code>sftp</code>, <code>ping</code> etc.) through their Hamachi IP addresses. |
|||
===To Do:=== |
|||
Set up Hamachi as a service (i.e., automatically at boot)<BR> |
|||
Mounting shares using /etc/fstab (so file systems show up at boot) |

My name is Tony, and I bought an XO Laptop for my son, Miguel. Although he's two, I'm hoping this will be a laptop he can grow older with.

21:55, 4 January 2008 (EST) I have a server at my house (currently a web/mail/file server for various websites I run) that I'm trying to add XS Server capability on. I'm using Ubuntu though, and so I'm working to get the XS Software to work on it.
The server's capabilities are: Intel Pentium D 930, 4 GB of memory, 500 GB of hd space (more will be added as needed should it be necessary.
I'm in the process of getting a WG111 USB Wireless Adaptor to serve as a School node. I'll post details of how it's going at some point.
