I think that you removed the inetd (Internet deamon) from your /etc/rc.config. it should be inetd="yes" with SuSE you can also switch it of in server administration. I think you probably did that by accident. If you use YaST and configure the network and it asks you to run the inetd answer yes. Or go to rc.config and add inetd="yes" That will work Raymond Doetjes ---------- these
sort of things, I thought maybe you can give me some clues. I am running SuSE 5.2
I can ping my machine from outside, but I can not telnet or ftp to it. I don't think there is a server problem because I can ping it. Right?
I can not ping, telnet, or ftp from my machine to anywhere else (They get hung). I tried to nslookup another machine and it complained that nameservers could not be reached.
The fact that you can ping does not mean that your networking is OK: it only means that your ethernet card knows its IP address (the response to a "ping" is sent back by the card itself, and does not require anything from inside the computer).
What is the result of the command
ifconfig
??
Have you tried rebooting?
Try "ping localhost" or "ping 127.0.0.1". Are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf correct? Try pinging the IP address (i.e. the 4 numbers separated by dots) rather than the name.
Hi Ted. Thanks for your reply. ifconfig and resolv.conf seem to be normal and ping localhost works. The first thing I thought was to reboot. Also I now have noticed that telnet from outside DOES work, except it takes 5 minutes to get connected. ftp times out. Probably the same thing is true in reverse direction. Something must have happened to make connections very slow. There seems to be no problem with networking on other machines on the same network.
Thanks again, Ramin
