Can not access Linux Box from another PC

[dmc]

Hello,

This is the first time I am trying Linux Red Hat 9.0 version and I was able
to install it as a server. Configured Samba and was able to test it within
the same PC just by using the smbclient //servername/service -U command and
the smbstatus. I was able to browse the net, FTP and telneted out.

Please understand, yes, I know telnet and ftp is not safe and open to eaves
droppers but that is not my concern right now.

Here is the issue I am experiencing:

- tried to telnet from another PC to my new Linux box and this what
happened:

H:\>telnet athlon-pcx
Connecting To athlon-pcx...Could not open a connection to host on port 23 :
Conn
ect failed

- tried FTP'ng:

H:\>ftp athlon-pcx
> ftp: connect :Connection reset by peer
ftp>

So far, I have edited the hosts.allow file and just put ALL: ALL thinking
that this should take care of it, renamed hosts.deny to something else and
even created a hosts.equiv file and still no dice. I have read the man pages
for hosts_access and thought I did what it was suggesting but I am still not
having any success.

Any help in this matter is much appreciated.

TIA
DMC

How about firewalls?

ipchains --list
iptables --list

Don't remember enabling a firewall on this machine, is this a default
setting? ALWAYS installed?

Thanks.

Default is to install and turn it on a medium setting, IIRC. Use those
commands to determine the status.
