I understand the above concept and have been attempting to do just
that. I have my Linux running and (finally!) got my kernel to
recognize my ethernet card (I have a Compaq Deskpro 4000 with built in
NetFlex/3).
The problem I have, is that when I try to Ping my Linux box from my
Win95, I get no response. I've just started looking into the
hosts.allow file and think that since it is blank that might be the
problem. Am I looking in the right place? My addressing is setup as
follows:
linux-192.168.1.1 sub 255.255.255.0
win95-192.168.1.2 sub 255.255.255.0
Along the same lines, I have LeafNode configured and running on my
Linux box (was able to do the initial fetch of the newsgroup
descriptions from mindspring), but when I attempt to run a news client
(knews/gnus-xemacs/tin) (I have NNTPSERVER pointing to my machine) I
get "Connection Refused". Does the hosts.allow file have to be setup
for that machine to access LeafNode running on the same machine?
Thanks for any pointers.
