Re: telnet not working on home LAN
1. dpkg --status telnetd if not installed = install (in my case this was the problem - apparently by default it is not installed) 2. check /etc/inetd.conf for lines: ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd telnet stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd if commented = uncomment and send SIGHUP to inetd 3. Wait for other answers ;-) B.

Hmm. I think its because 10.x.x.x domains are not routable.

Re: telnet not working on home LAN
well, 2 t hings is your work outside your 10.X network ? i hope your on the same network as that machine :) second ..the machine may be trying to resolve your ip ..or something. i have this problem too, and it goes away when i remove the default gateway. if the gateway is there and is unreachable it appears that it just hangs, but EVENTUALLY lets me in. may be a minute or so delay. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 11:52am up 75 days, 23:19, 1 user, load average: 0.34, 0.28, 0.28 On Wed, 3 Nov 1999, Patrick Kirk wrote: Hi all, Just put Debian on a second PC and having problems telnetting in from work.

RE: telnet not working on home LAN
10.0.0.0 is what is called a private IP. It sounds like you have a DSL router or something similar. It is using network address translation. The only public IP is assigned to the router by your ISP. When a machine on your LAN talks through your router, the router strips off the IP of the local machine and puts the router's own public IP in it's place and sends it out as it's own message. When a reply comes back, the router does the opposite. It strips it's own IP out and puts your local machine's IP back in. You local machine never knows the difference. To telnet in under these circumstances, you must do two things: 1. Find out the Public IP of your router or DSL modem or cable modem. 2. Set up your router to forward all telnet (port 21) request to your debian machine. Your public IP of your router may change each time you log in. This is called a dynamic IP. If it is the same and assigned to you permanently, it is a static IP. If it is dynamic, please go to www.tzo.com. They will register a domain for you. Then you run local software on your Linux or windows machine which tells them you connected and what you IP is. You domain will be your_domain.tzo.com. When you run their software, it will update their DNS so your_domain.tzo.com will always point to your machine. I have done this before with a friends DSL router and his home network. What router type do you have ? I might know some web pages you can use to configure it. Saying it another way, 10.0.0.0 is not a public IP and cannot be routed on the internet. This address must be translated to a public IP number. A lot of people do this with a private IP like 10.0.0.0 or 192.168.0.0. Then get one IP number which is cheaper. They use network address translation to allow all of them to share the one public IP. The only part of your network that is visible to the internet is your router. To set up local servers, you must tell the router which machine gets requests from the internet for each thing like FTP,WWW,Telnet,Gopher. If you have any questions, please write back. This is a little confusing at first glance ! paul -Original Message- From: Patrick Kirk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 1999 10:16 AM To: debian-User@Lists.Debian.Org Subject: telnet not working on home LAN Hi all, Just put Debian on a second PC and having problems telnetting in from work.
