Hi there, I'm having a serious problem here. I have been able to set up my machine to accept PPP connection. I can dial from a win95 machine and use PAP to authenticate and connect. The IP address is assigned to the win95 machine alright and I can then ping my linux box but that's about it. Any attempt to telnet or ftp yields nothing. no login prompt, etc.
What could be the problem? The linux box IP is 192.168.1.1 and the IP being assigned to ttyS2 is 192.168.1.10. I also have IP masquerading set up for the LAN. (although it isn't connected at the moment when it was it was working fine) I thought the most obvious things would be in the hosts.allow or the ipfwadm set up in rc.local so I posted them below. If it could be something else please let me know. like I said, a ping to 192.168.1.1 over the modem works without a problem as does using the linux box as an Internet gateway for the LAN. I just can't telnet or ftp in over a modem. thanks, rob /etc/hosts.allow ---------------- ALL: 192.168.1. portmap: 192.168.1. /etc/rc.d/rc.local ------------------------ /sbin/ipfwadm -F -f /sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 192.168.1.0/24 /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a deny -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 192.168.1.0/24 netbios-ns -P tcp /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a deny -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 192.168.1.0/24 netbios-ns -P udp /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a deny -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 192.168.1.0/24 netbios-dgm -P tcp /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a deny -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 192.168.1.0/24 netbios-dgm -P udp /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a deny -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 192.168.1.0/24 netbios-ssn -P tcp /sbin/ipfwadm -I -f /sbin/ipfwadm -I -a deny -S 192.168.1.0/24 netbios-ns -D 192.168.1.1 domain -P udp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
