Troubleshooting: How to Get a Valid IP Address When Using a Shared .vdi Hard Drive File
I often share .vdi files (virtual hard drive files) with my students for numerous reasons. I have found that when I share these files my students are not able to obtain a valid IP address. This is because the MAC address of the machine that created the .vdi file is different from the MAC address of the machine running the .vdi file. A quick reset of the 70-persistent-net.rules and everything quickly gets fixed. In this troubleshooting tutorial I show how to quickly fix this problem.

Tutorial: How To Share Files and Folders Within Groups Using Ubuntu Server and Samba as a PDC
In this tutorial I demonstrate how to share files and folders with users within groups. I created two groups, students and teachers on my Ubuntu Server. I then created share folders for each of the two groups. I created a folder for the teachers to share documents with each one another. No other group has access to this folder. I also created a folder for the students. Teachers can create content in this folder while students can read and execute files in this folder, but cannot write or create any content. This allows teachers to share files with students without giving students full control over the folder. I have seen similar setups at many schools and companies. I use Samba as my Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and a XP Machine as my workstation. After I have connected to the PDC I create network drives for the folders created on the Ubuntu Server. I log in as a teacher and students to demonstrate the different rights each user/group has.

Tutorial: How To Change an Ubuntu Server From Obtaining an IP via DHCP to a Static IP Address
In this tutorial I demonstrate how to set a static IP address in Ubuntu Server. I show how to do this two different ways, permanently and temporary. To change the IP address permanently I edit the interfaces and resolv.conf files. To edit the IP address temporarily I use ifconfig commands.
