by Hi. I am new to networking and I have a problem. I installed a SMC
network card on my linux which seems to be recognized at boot time. No
Network error messages either. I gave it an IP address of 111.112.113.114
and it seems to be okay. This is just a test setup of two machines.
I want to telnet from Windows for WorkGroups into the Linux machine, but
I get connection failed. When I type netstat, I get the following:
Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (State)
User
tcp 0 1 mark.budman:telnet 111.111.111.1:1025 SYN_RECV
root
.
.
.
Active UNIX domain sockets
Proto RefCnt Flags Type State Path
unix 1 [ ACC ] SOCK_STREAM LISTENING /var/run/gpmctl
unix 1 [ ACC ] SOCK_STREAM LISTENING /dev/printer
unix 2 [ ] SOCK_STREAM CONNECTED /dev/log
unix 2 [ ] SOCK_STREAM CONNECTED
unix 1 [ ACC ] SOCK_STREAM LISTENING /dev/log
It seems to be detecting that I am trying to log in but it always fails.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
