Ummm... not really. Let me try to get this straight, 1) You CAN ftp back into your machine as the same user. Question: What are you using to address your machine, hostname, IP address, or loopback address? 2) You CAN telnet into your machine as the same user. Question: (same as 1.) 3) Once you have telneted in, you CANNOT ftp into your machine from the telnet session. You CAN continue to telnet 'recursively.' Question: (same as 1.) How _exactly_ is it failing? Hostname lookup failure? Apparently hanging?

Provided you do not have some unusual setup, most of the time you can get by with one IP address and netmask just fine. No additional routing is needed. This is typical. (You don't mention what your connection is. PPP? NIC?) > I would be happy to supply any more inf if anyone has any ideas. Great, the above should help. -- Crist J.
