2 node network, Win95 and RedHat 5.2, telnet problems.

Post by Bob Bryl » Sun, 21 Feb 1999 04:00:00



Used to be 2 Win95 PCs on a two node network, converted one to Linux, RH5.2. Addresses:
172.28.66.1 (Linux), 172.28.66.2 (Win95). "ping" works FINE both directions. But "telnet" from
Win95 to Linux times out. "ftp" says connection refused. Running X Server on Win95 PC, can't
initiate connections with rsh or rexec, get message "Connection Refused". However, if I go to
the Linux PC, do a "setenv DISPLAY 172.28.66.2:0.0" then run "xterm", it pops up just fine on
the Win95 PC.

What do I need for masks, routes, etc. on each node? Is there some kind of permission I'm not
setting right on some Linux daemon (telnetd?) to allow connections?

thx,
Bob Bryla

 
 
 

1. Networking DECStation 5000/20 running OpenBSD 2.4 and i586 running Redhat Linux 5.2 & Win95

I recently acquired a DECStation 5000/20 from my uni's computing school. I
want to network it with my other computer. The problem is that I am not
familiar with OpenBSD and have had great difficulty finding files. The
DecStation only has a 200Mb SCSI-1 HDD which has 5Mb left free. I do not
really no what parts of the OS have been installed, ie compilers,
networking protocols, drivers, etc.I do not have a copy of OpenBSD (what do
you expect for $50) I do know that there is no source code. named, inetd
and tftpd are all installed I think. Does anyone know what might need doing
in order to network the two machines together? I have a very basic cachable
DNS set up in linux (for when I was playing with the Apache web server) and
most of the networking stuff off the CD is installed, except for ftp and a
few other things.
