You may also want to make sure you have the cabling set up right. It's possible that if you're connecting the two computers directly instead of through a hub, you may be connecting them with the wrong kind of cable. This kind of setup requires a "crossover cable." Also, both machines need ip's in order to connect them with telnet. I'd suggest making one of them 10.0.0.1 and the other 10.0.0.2. This should help also. ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= On Tue, 4 Jul 2000, Marc Silver wrote: > This should be a problem.
