Are you sure the problem is not with ipchains/iptables
? also have you
modified the xinetd.d diretory. all the files in that
directory are the
configuration files of the different servers and many
may be disabled by
default. check /var/log/messages
Thanks

Please respond to
ilug-cal
folks,
i was recently trying t set up a lan among two windows
machines and one
pcqlinux 7.1 machine in a cybercafe.
problem is, though the ethernet card is ( i believe)
properly configged and
initialised on bootup (it says "bringing up interface
eth0...... okay"),
the only communication between the linux machine and
the other two machines
is through ping. i can ping and it pings alright, but
i can't do anything
else. i have tried ftp (with gftp and ncftp), telnet
and everything.
nothing
works. ggftp says connection was refused on the win
machine. but the
windows
machines do not have any kind of firewall installed,
and i was careful to
turn firewalling off in linux. nevertheless,
communication fails both ways.
my ultimate object is to enable internet
connection-sharing (the single
connection is owned by one of the win machines) and
file-browsing among the
three machines.
the linux machine is actually a dual-boot machine
which, when running winme
like the other two machines, happily shares connection
and files with the
other machines.
what stumps me is i can only ping but so nothing else.
if it were some kind
of hardware problem, that shouldn't have worked
either.
so please help me out.
this cafe is in sodpur, so if anyone is interested to
look at the problem
first-hand, please contact me. i'll be glad to take
you there.
thanks.
