Everyone,
I have got a problem that is stumping me. It is probably something stupid
I am overlooking. I have two machines networked together at home and they
are not communicating correctly.
Okay here is the situation. My machine has been running linux since last
July and has been upgraded from 5.2 to 6.1. My wife decided she wanted
email, web browsing and a fancier word processor. So I decided to set
her up as a linux box. She was, like myself, strictly DOS before this.
Anyway I ugraded her hard disk, video card, modem etc.. Meaning I got
new goodies for myself and she got my old stuff. While I was in Home
Depot looking for phone cable I found CAT-5 cable and Leviton connectors,
the same as we use at work. I figured since I was going to go through the
work to run one it would not be any more work to run a home intranet.
With the Netgear stuff on sale at Compusa I installed everything. Her
machine came up real easy. While adding a network card to mine was a
bit more. I mentioned some of this in a previous post when I put the
network card in my machine before I had done the wiring and Kudzu put
me to a graphical logon. But I got all installed and configured.
Anyway everything works except doing anything useful with the network
connection. Internet dial up is working fine. I can ping both machines
by address and name. From her machine I can telnet to mine but not vice
versa. Attempting to telnet from mine to hers or any ftp, I get a message
telling the other machine rejected or closed the connection. The two host
files Host.allow and deny are identical along with inetd.conf.
So any ideas on what I may have done wrong. Anything else you may need
to help diagnose this thing. Thanks.
