wierder & wierder !
I wasn't able to connect to the linux box (164.164.29.238) yesterday & so
left for home. today I came to the office & tried telnetting from my winNT
wks (164.164.28.228) & it connected. then when i tried it again - it did not
connect !

someone please tell me what is hapening ??????

to answer your Qs Rajesh
1 ) given above
2 ) yes - both the m/cs are in the same n/w . The lin m/c was a win 98
terminal, before & used to appear in the Network neighbourhood.
3 ) pinging works both ways
4 ) I am trying telneting by IP. A DSN entry has not yet been made for the
linux m/c.

�  hi folks ,
�       oops !
�       the whole problem was due to misconfiguration ( gateway ip
�  in dns ip & vice
�  versa ). O.k. ! o.k. ! i made  a mistake, but that is how anyone
�  will learn
�  :-)
�       Now some problems:
�       1) I cannot telnet to the linux machine from another
�  machine. The linux
�  machine ip is : *.*.29.* and my win machine is *.*.28.* .
�               what should I do ?
�       2) The internet proxy server requires password
�  authorization to connect to
�  the w3. however, it seems that Netscape ( v4.6) dosen't support
�  that ?? i am
�  getting no logon prompt. Any ideas why ? also is there some other web
�  browser ( please don't say lynx ) to use ?
�
�       please keep in mind that I am unable to connect to the net
�  from there.
�
�       ciao
�               Vibhu..

�  Good that your pinging problem is solved.
�  Ok regarding telnet probelm , can u just me more inputs.
�  1. What is the IP address /Subnet mask of NT box and Linux Box.
�  2  Are they on the same network....???
�  3. are you able to ping from NT Box to Linux Box and vice versa...?
�  (while pining use the IP address instead of machine name)
�  4. how are you teleneting to linux box. using IP address or
�  machine name, ry
�  using IP address.
