Problem solved (sort of). In my network, I have a dial up router (WebRamp M3) which is defined as the default gateway for all the machines in the network. Thus all the packets go to it for routing even though the machines are on the same network 192.168.11.0 with subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0 and on the same media (hub). The FTP/TELNET requests hang until M3 dials out to the ISP. After establishing a PPP connection everything works fine. The same happens when I attempt "rarp -a" or 'netstat -r'. Is there a way to capture either the frames or the packets? Also, when one does ftp/telnet "a.b.c.d"; does this generate a name resolution packet even though a specific IP address has been given? If so, it would explain why the M3 is dialing out. If not, then it seems like a bug in the M3 router software. -- Arun Khan At 11:00 AM 98/05/12 -0500, Arun K. Khan wrote:
I am unable to ftp into machine running SuSE 5.1 from another node on the same subnet!
All I get is the following ---
prompt> ncftp -u 192.168.11.11 Connecting to 192.168.11.11 ...
and then nothing happens
I have checked if the interface on the SuSE machine via ifconfig and ping prompt> ping -c5 192.168.11.11 comes back with 5 responses.
ps aux | egrep ftp shows the ftp daemon running.
Perhaps some one in this list can point what to look for on the SuSE host to figure out the problem.
