This does sound a bit mysterious, I know, but my experience is that once all network and IP numbers are properly configured, this would go away (provided there's no other reason (firewall, etc.) for this). BTW, this is not strictly a FreeBSD problem, I encountered this on Solaris after our internal network was restructured. On Solaris, these are placed I'd look: in /etc: resolv.conf, hosts, net*, hostname.*, defaultdomain OTOH: > telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Permission denied /etc/inetd.conf on picnic?
