are you trying to telnet out or into your machine ? if you get this message when you try to telnet to your machine.. check if you have inetd running. ps -aux | grep inetd should tell you. if it's not running then you need to start it and make sure it starts at boot time. start drakconf, and then select the startup options, make sure inet is checked. Another thing u should check for is the security level, if security level is at 3 (high). inet won't start at boot time, unless you force it to. if you get this message when you're trying to telnet outside.. then it's probably because that ip closed telnet off.. or you're trying to connect to to a diff port.. contact the admin of that host to figure what he changed. there can be too many things on that. :) On 13 Dec 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I bought Linux-Mandrake 7.2 (Odyssey) couple weeks ago.
