At both locations I'm using the linksys cable/dsl router to share the dsl connections to the lan. Had to go with that at work with money being in short demand an did not have the extra box to use suse on for sharing the internet. Well your theory of the host.deny would be a nice suggestion if only it did not let the lan side connect after making a connection from outside the lan, but im able to connect from the lan after connection from outside the lan. It's like the connection attempt from ouside the lan wakes up inetd, im just throwing that in as a guess. jack At 06:25 PM 6/6/2001 +0200, Milnes Terry SSgt 52 OSS/OSOMS wrote:
Can it possibly be that in your hosts.deny file it does not allow local IP's to connect and non local IP's to connect? Also, do you use a proxy server? The proxy server may change the IP. I am just guessing here.

I posted this to the list yesterday thinking it was an inetd problem but im not sure now. I'm having trouble telneting an ftping into my suse 7.0 box from the lan side of the network it does not seem to let me connect. If I connect from the internet side it lets me in with no trouble, then I can try to telnet/ftp into box from the lan side an it will let me in but only after making a connection from internet 1st. I have this duplicated on two different suse boxes, one at work running suse 7.0 2.2.16 an at home running 2.4.2 kernels. Is there anyone else having this trouble or know what could be the cause of it. thanks in advance.
its just odd to me that it seems to work like this.
