Re: [newbie] Unable to telnet into Mandrake box

[Jason L Bowne/BOWNJL/LMITCO/INEEL/US]

My hosts file is fine.  I did remove the search servername line in the
resolv.conf and that fixed the ping problem.
I still can't telnet in. Does the standard install of Mandrake 6.1 have
both the server and client side
apps for telnet?

Don't need to reboot. Just type (as root) "ifconfig eth0
down" and then "ifconfig eth0 up" and all will be well.
