hi... I bought myself a spanking new sencondhand laptop, and has eversince tried to get PLIP up and running on it. I get everything right, and pinging works fine. But the moment I try something with more content like ftp or telnet, all I get is Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx... and then it just looks at me and does nothing.
The laptop (Beeblebrox) is running a base slink system, and my box is running slink with kernel 2.2.1. I've compiled plip.o, (and figured out the generic parport stuff), and got everything working. The boxes are connected with a Laplink parallel cable. The confusing thing is that I can ping across, but nothing else. I've already checked my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files, but since the connection is already made, I don't think it's that. I can also do 'ftp localhost' on my box, so ftpd is working.... please help... :) Jack _____________________________________ Jack Versfeld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tel: +27 21 883 9303 Minicall: 08800 62616 _____________________________________
