I want to thank everyone for the responses, they have been a big help. I
added the Win98 PC's IP and name to the hosts file. I now get a login
prompt immediately on the Win98 PC through telnet. However, everytime I
login via telnet it gives a "login incorrect" message. I know that the
login works at the console. Any ideas? What is the proper syntax for
hosts.allow?
** NOTE: This is a server at my home connected to a Win98 PC through ether.
Sincerely,
Jason
