Dear Friends, I have installed Suse 7.1 Pro with apache, Samba, wu-ftp & other packages. The server is serving a LAN of 10 W9x PCs with static IPs. The Server IP is Kept as 192.168.10.1 and all nodes are kept ---.10 to ---.19 The Web Server, FTP is responding from each PC and i am able browse, d/l u/l files to the server. I am also able to login to server through Samba and all shares are working as Expected. While connected to LAN when i try to use Telnet command with proper IP of server from w9x run command the message "connection lost" pops up. I am able Ping that server & with IE i can browse default page through Apache with the servers IP. I am new to Linux can somebody tell me what could be wrong ? R. S. Patil
Could be that you don't have telnet enabled on the host. Go to the host and
try to telnet from the console. You can do "telnet hostname", or "telnet
localhost". If it doesn't work, you have to enable telnet in inetd. Though
it goes without saying, make sure it's installed. If you can telnet on the
linux console but you can't from other machines, you probably need to
reconfigure your /etc/hosts.allow to include the machines you want to access
those. The hosts.allow is probably not a problem since you can ftp from the
windoze boxes unless you explicitly setup allowances for specific services.
The other place you might check is /etc/inetd. make sure telnet is not
commented out.

I suggest you read the message I have just posted concerning telnet. Cliff
He said he is using telnet on his internal network as am I. I have telnet
blocked to the internet so this is not a threat. Also, there is absolutely
no way your isp can disable telnet within your own network so this cannot be
the problem he is having.

Ok, must have misread the bit about the internal network. No of course an ISP cannot block your internal telnet. I thought it was worth posting the message anyway. Just a public service... Cliff
