Hmmm, betcha you have a ALL:Parinoid entry in /etc/hosts.deny. With that option, you won't be able to access just about everything if your ip and hostname don't matchup/resolve. The soultion is, fix your host name. =) You could add a ALL: IP Range of your ISP to hosts.allow, or if your on static IP add a entry to /etc/hosts on the server machine. If your going from an internal host to an internal host, get bind working to resolve names for your internal network or add an entry in /etc/hosts for every machine. -- \\\|/// \\ - - // ( @ @ ) ----oOOo--(_)-oOOo-------------------------------------------- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055 ---------------Ooooo------------------------------------------ ( ) ooooO ) / ( ) (_/ \ ( \_) -------------- next part -------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
