sounds like a firewall problem (and you should be using ssh not telnet, but that's an other thread) Assuming this machine isn't behind another firewall try (as root): ipchains -L this will show local firewalling rules, not that you'll be able to make much sense of them :) The quick & ugly solution (if this is a problem) is: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward /sbin/ipchains -X /sbin/ipchains -F /sbin/ipchains -P input ACCEPT /sbin/ipchains -P output ACCEPT /sbin/ipchains -P forward ACCEPT these commands will remove all firewalling rules, and remove packet forwarding. -Jon
