Taking a stab in the dark, if you have ipfw setup, of if you have an /etc/hosts.allow file, check them both. The default hosts.allow file rejects all services except for a few. I'm assuming that telnet is one of the services that would be on the reject list. --John >>There is , and i tried telnetting myself. >>It says 'Connection refused.' >> >>On Sat, 13 Nov 1999, Majid >>Almassari wrote: >> >>>check /etc/services and see if there is a definition for port 23 >>> >>>> I just have a laptop, so i've rebooted a number of times since then.
