| Can you | | ping cvsup8.FreeBSD.org | | Can you | | telnet cvsup8.FreeBSD.org cvsup O.K. This is weird. I can ping and telnet to the host from a machine on my network. This machine uses the FreeBSD server as it's gateway, and there's no problem: $ telnet cvsup8.FreeBSD.org cvsup Trying 128.205.32.21... Connected to oliver.cse.Buffalo.EDU (128.205.32.21). Escape character is '^]'. OK 17 0 SNAP_16_1h CVSup server ready However, from the actually server, I can ping it, but not telnet to it: $ fping -c 2 cvsup8.FreeBSD.org cvsup8.FreeBSD.org : [0], 84 bytes, 29.3 ms (29.3 avg, 0% loss) cvsup8.FreeBSD.org : [1], 84 bytes, 31.3 ms (30.3 avg, 0% loss) $ telnet cvsup8.FreeBSD.org cvsup Trying 68.87.64.132... telnet: connect to address 68.87.64.132: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host Seems to me I should be able to reach it from the actual gateway machine if I can reach it from another machine on the network.
