If you can connect to the Sun machine but not the router, then there's probably something squirrely with the router config. Can you send the router config to us? The classic mistake with Telnet is to forget to give it a password. For example, you might have something like: line vty 0 4 login A cisco router just won't let you in if you do that. You need something like: line vty 0 4 password the_world_can_see_this_with_telnet login Also check for an acess-class config in the VTY lines. Maybe it's already set to not allow certain addresses in, like addresses from the outside world, coming in from the other side of that Linksys? Also check that you really are allowing Telnet in. Telent is allowed in with "transport input telnet" command. (It's the default, so you may not see it in your config, actually.) Maybe you upgraded to not allow Telnet, but only SSH, (which would be a good idea, by the way). Maybe there's something like: line vty 0 4 password the_world_can_see_this_with_telnet transport input SSH login Let us know what you find. Thanks!
