The interfaces are well configured; I can ping on any of them, I have a custom client/server application running on the second interface and the routed daemon is aware of the third one. But still NFS, telnet and ftp don't work.
The /etc/hosts.access and /etc/hosts.deny files are empty (just comments). Any other ideas? Thank you, Pedro I.

Sanchez > The network daemons know nothing about such mundane details as to the network interfaces that a particular system has. They are completely screened from these details by the IP network layer and the TCP or UDP transport layers (which is a good thing). If the network interfaces are configured correctly, then there should be (at least) three IP addresses assigned to the system, one for each network interface (Ethernet device in your case). Any of these IP addresses is a valid address for that system. So, if a user on another system (client) telnets to the system in question, he would command telnet to connect to one of the IP addresses of that system (server) and, as long as the client has connectivity with the server, then the telnet session should occur normally. So without going into any more details of this, if you're having problems telneting (or whatever) on two of the three network interfaces, the first thing I'd check is whether these network interfaces are configured properly. What does the command 'ifconfig' show? Are the interfaces UP, RUNNING, and are you receiving and transmitting packets over them? Can you 'ping' other systems that are on the directly connected networks for those two interfaces? If the anwsers to all of these are yes then the network interfaces are probably configured properly and your network services should work. The other thing that comes to mind is denying host access through the /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny configuration. See if these files are configured and read 'man hosts_access' for an explanation.
