Hello :) I've just installed FreeBSD-2.2-BETA on a 486/66. Everything went fine. I was able to boot with the boot floppy, installed the entire system over FTP using the ethernetcard (NE2000 clone). Anyways, the problem is that I cannot telnet, ftp, or anything INTO the FreeBSD box. I can get out of the FreeBSD box and go to other hosts. I have successfully connected from the FreeBSD box to ftp.freebsd.org and numerous other hosts using both telnet, ftp, ping, and http. But for the life of me, I am not able to access this box from another machine. When I do telnet (the name of this box), I get a 'Trying ip.addr....' and that's it. I hope this is not too confusing. To make it simpler, if I am sitting in front of this box and I am logged in at the console, I am able to telnet, ftp, etc to other hosts. However, when I am at another computer, I cannot telnet into the FreeBSD box. I have not seen this problem before. At home, I have FreeBSD-2.2-BETA running and I do not have this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.
