Hi all, As a test, I changed the client box's IP address, and the Identity connect failed message in /var/log/messages on the server changed to reflect the new IP address.. The client is a windows 2000 box, and it has a firewall enabled. When I disabled the firewall, (which was setup to allow port 25, but not ident...) the pop3 works.. So I want to disable identity check before connection in xinetd.. anyone know how to do that? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Franki Sent: Sunday, 22 July 2001 11:49 AM To: Linux Mandrake Expert Mailing List Subject: [expert] Failed to contact identity server at 192.168.1.2: timeout Hi experts, Does anyone have any ideas about the below?? I have looked all though sysconfig and every other possibly related file I can think off, but can find no reference to 192.168.1.2 Exactly what files does the drake conf net configurator change?? apart from the usual stuff... Hi, does anyone know what this means and how I can get rid of it? it happens whenever someone tries to use pop3 on this box... as a result, it blocks the connection... I set it up using the mandrake tools... in drakeconf MDK7.2 powerpack. rgds Frank
