Re: [LI] problem with accessing network.

["Aditya Deshpande" <adityad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vibhu,
    Sorry went away from some work.
    There are certain files in the /etc directory

host.conf
hosts
hosts.allow
hosts.deny
hosts.equiv
hosts.lpd

The problem could be solved by listing the IP Address in hosts.allow file
even though this is required for inetd services.
    This is because telnetd is itself invoked by inetd.
     If you want to log in as a root by telnetting then you can give the tty
number in /etc/securetty but there is a possible security hazard here.

    Also an entry for remote telnet must be in your /etc/services file.
HTH

regards
Aditya


| hi folks,
| ignore point no 2. The problem arose because someone was rebooting the

| ¤  hi folks ,
| ¤  oops !
| ¤  the whole problem was due to misconfiguration ( gateway ip
| ¤  in dns ip & vice
| ¤  versa ). O.k. ! o.k. ! i made  a mistake, but that is how anyone
| ¤  will learn
| ¤  :-)
| ¤  Now some problems:
| ¤  1) I cannot telnet to the linux machine from another
| ¤  machine. The linux
| ¤  machine ip is : *.*.29.* and my win machine is *.*.28.* .
| ¤  what should I do ?
| ¤  2) The internet proxy server requires password
| ¤  authorization to connect to
| ¤  the w3. however, it seems that Netscape ( v4.6) dosen't support
| ¤  that ?? i am
| ¤  getting no logon prompt. Any ideas why ? also is there some other web
| ¤  browser ( please don't say lynx ) to use ?
| ¤
| ¤  please keep in mind that I am unable to connect to the net
| ¤  from there.

| ¤  ciao

| ¤  ¤  Let's do this systematically:
| ¤  ¤
| ¤  ¤  - What are the IP addresses of each of the machines involved?
| ¤  ¤  Are they all
| ¤  ¤  on the same segment (i.e. 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.10, etc.)?
| ¤  ¤
| ¤  ¤  - after pinging the Windows machines *by IP address* from the
| ¤  Linux box,
| ¤  ¤  what does the command "arp -a" tell you?
