Thanks for the response. I have tried to set up a telnet session using both the ip and host name. When using the ip number I get just the "telnet> " prompt with no error messages. When I use the host name and get and "Unknown Host" error. I can ping the ip address without any problem.

You only get a prompt if you only type in "telnet". What error messages do you get? Can you ping your machine's ip-adresses? -- Thomas Guettler Office: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.interface-business.de Private:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://yi.org/guettli -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
