and
it still does not work. this time i get a timeout to login allthough it
connect to
local linux machine using ip address it will not complete a ftp session.
I think its got something to do with the domain..
I have set Domain Name: megabitwest.net
Host name: http://www.megabitwest.net *

Linux!!!
when i configured the lan ethernet card i chose ip # 209.54.142.164 (card in
linux mach.)
gateway ip #
209.54.142.161 (cisco dsl router)
DNS server ip #
209.54.122.2 (my isp dns server)
my /etc/inetd.conf has the line of:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
in.ftpd -l -a
