Usually I get one telnet that says something like "Connection to host lost" and then one that gives me login prompt which, after logging in, just sits there (I never see the MOTD, it just hangs.). Having said that, if my win2k machine is connected to the internet, it seems to work (!?). The win2k machine is configured as the Gateway and DNS of the FreeBSD machine (yes, I know that's backwards). I can always ping back and forth with no packet loss, though... Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? I'm still using the generic kernel and the machine from which I am telnetting is a w2k. I didn't find anything in the archives, but I'm not really sure what to look for.
