Ah, telnet fails as well. Very interesting. Here's what I get when I try to telnet to that box: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ telnet stiq Trying 172.16.1.151... Connected to stiq.seranoa.com. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ This is only a problem for my box from the RH 7.1 server I can telnet into the box. I can also ssh into the RH server. I'm stumped. Andy
