ftp and telnet problems

Rosen_1 — Mon, 22 Nov 2004 06:33:26 GMT

I have very strange problem. I have one computer with Digital UNIX running, and I am trying to access it through other computer with Win2000. Sometimes it works and there is connection with ftp and telnet, but sometimes there is no connection and the following message ocures when I try with ftp: " ftp: connect :Connection refused " . And between two tries I am not doing anithing. Where could the problem be?

Hi Rosen,

Could indicate many things,

unstable inetd ( ps -ef | grep inetd ) ( spawns ftpd and telnetd)
inetd -c to restart
Busy server
check using top
heavy network load
do not know the command for digital ux. may be you could check to load on the switch.

HTH,

Gideon

A few weeks ago, I had a similar problem with a Solaris box. In the end it turned out it tried a DNS reverse lookup for every ip address I used. After adding some dummy entries to the hosts file, ftp and telnet worked fine.

Thanks a lot for fast answers. Very accidentaly I discovered that there are two machines with the same IP in our network and when I changed it, it seems to be working:)
