A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... > when i connect using ppp and get a dynamic IP as 195.243.107.221 i can > not make a telnet to me from another machine > > from another machine (cenected using eth0) i can ping to the machine > using ppp, but when i try to make a telnet to the ppp machine i always > get the following:
Machine A: connected through ppp Machine B: connected through ethernet What's the IP# of the machine b? > trying 195.243.107.221 > telnet: unable to conect to remote host: no route to host This means that machine b doesn't know how to get to the IP# you specified. What does the network topology look like? > my IP always gives me a dynamic IP as 195.243.107.xxx > > the gateway is: 195.243.104.1 > > i can make outbound services: web, ftp, email (out and in), etc Outbound from machine a, I presume. > but i need inbound access to that machine with ppp > > where is the failure? in my end? with my ISP? > > i believe that the IP of the gateway is reserved, Of sorts: the IP of the gateway has to be unique on the network it's connected to, the Internet in this case. > and that the IP given to me are C class, It is. > does this have some influence? It shouldn't. > is possible to make a telnet to my machine using these IPs ? Not without knowing more about the network topology. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
