Not until you tell us _how_ you are trying to connect? Are you using telnet, ssh, rlogin, what? :-) If you're using telnet: 1) Don't. Investigate ssh. :-) 2) You need allow telnet connections from 146.151.104.67 with TCP Wrappers. I'm guessing here, of course, because you haven't told us which version of FreeBSD you are using. Look for an /etc/hosts.allow file. 3) Inetd needs to be running. Make sure you _don't_ have a line that looks like this in /etc/rc.conf: inetd_enable="NO" Ciao, Sheldon.
