Chris, Are you running tcp_wrappers? What is in /etc/hosts.allow? The most common cause that I have seen in lack of reverse dns lookup. It may be that when they were on the same hub the reverse dns lookup worked. Try putting the following line in /usr/local/etc/hosts.allow telnetd : 24.xxx.xxx.xxx : allow Jeff On Wed, 16 Jun 1999, Chris Singer wrote: > Real-To: "Chris Singer" <csinger@workfire.com> > > Does anyone have any idea of why I can nolonger telnet into my machines?
