can not telnet to the host.

[hy_4]

OS is digital 4.0d.When I telnet the host,the following error appears:telnetd:fork:Operation would block.What is the matter?Thank you.

[Ralf Puchner]

"operation would block means" you jump to a code segment/routine or use a resource already in use/progress (reentrance).

So it seems telnet is already busy connecting to the remote system..... could be all kind of network problem mostly host resolving....

Thank you.Could you tell me how I can resolve
the problem at the host?

[Michael Schulte zur Sur]

Hy,

I would look for error messages on the target system that the telnetd prints. It may be a resource problem. 4.0D is a bit old by now. Do you have at least the latest patch kit?

greetings,

Michael

hy,

why not using the troubleshooting section within the network guide....

[hy_4]

I have not the book.Who can help me to resolve the problem?Thank you.

[Ralf Puchner]

there is no book, it is online delivered with your operation system cdrom....

[hy_4]

Could you please tell me in detail how I can find the guide from the cdrom?Thank you.

No need to find the CDROM.
