Returns to a prompt? Surely it gives some message first.... or telnet.exe is broken on your machine. It should look something like: [bert:~] 1:37:41pm 105 % telnet 192.168.1.201 9000 Trying 192.168.1.201... Connected to 192.168.1.201. Escape character is '^]'. The actual strings will vary (the above is from linux, obviously, I don't have a Windows machine around here...), but you should get one of three things: a connection a rejection a timeout Just exiting means telnet is, well, broken. > > I checked the DNS and that's all working except for SBS.

If you want a windows machine to be able to use the hostname of the linux box, you'll need to install Samba... Windows will add SMB names it sees to the host lookups. If you can make a connection from the linux box to its ethernet ip but not from other machines, then either the linux box has a firewall on it, or your networking is messed up. Can you SSH from other machines to the linux box? Can you ping it from other machines? -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72676 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
