Machine A is a FreeBSD 2.x box. I do not know the exact version because I cannot connect to it right now. Machine B is a Red Hat Linux 6.0 installation. I can telnet to Machine B, but not Machine A. When I try to telnet to Machine A from Machine B, this is what happens: [roy@redhat roy]$ telnet myFreeBSDbox.com Trying 1.2.3.4... Connected to myFreeBSDbox. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. [roy@redhat roy]$ Names & numbers have been changed for security reasons, but you get the point. It should also be told that the boxes are connected over a DSL line, and that both machines have an internal IP (non-routable, used only inside the network) and a (routable) IP address used by the rest of the internet. When the router receives a message from the internet, it looks at the destination IP (routable) and routes the message to the appropriate internal address. The problem is I cannot connect to machine A (myFreeBSDbox). It does not respond to any request over the network whatsoever, and cannot even be pinged from outside the network. If anyone has any suggestions, please write back. RJ rj@futon.sfsu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
