RE: [LI] problem with accessing network.

["Arun K Desai" <arun_desai@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi VIBHU RISHI,
  I think when use telnet first it searches the host name /etc/hosts & if it is available there then it sees in hosts.allow.
So i think all hosts name should be added in these files.
If i am wrong correct me....
                   Regards,
                       Arun.K.Desai.
