telnet into W2K box from Rehat 9

Gene Kenny — Fri, 22 Oct 2004 15:55:23 GMT

Hello

I am trying to telnet into a W2k box from a Linux box and the other way around.
On the linux 9 system I loaded Telnet server and enabled /xinetd.d/telnet and restarted the service.
I entered both the linux & w2k systems into /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.allow

On the W2K box I set NTLM =0 and started the service.

I can ping both systems, and telnet into the Linux system from the Linux system and Telent into the W2K system from the W2K system. I just can not telent from W2k to Linux

Thanks

service iptables stop

re-test

iptables firewall could be blocking, totally or more likely by ip addresss.

/var/log/messages would be extremely useful, as would tcptump -i eth# to see whats going on on the network.

Routers and external firewalls could also be blocking telnet as it uses clear text authentication and some network administrators don't like it being used.

I just installed RedHat and I am bit of novice as you tell. Both systems are conencted to a switch. what would look at in the iptables?

Gene,

to check the iptables try:
# iptables -L
If you hava same rule stop:
# service iptables stop
Remove all entries from /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny (wrong entries can be blocking) and try again.
