try commenting out everything in /etc/hosts.deny and putting:
ALL : [EMAIL PROTECTED] in /etc/hosts.allow unix/linux seems to not to like to work in an enviornment where there is no DNS resolution, or more specifically name resolution in general (i imagine there isn't in your case), if you want everything to work perfectly i suggest you configure BIND with a dummy domain and set your machines up to use it.(my dummy domain is ".aphro" and i have machine names like internal-gate.aphro and desktop.aphro) putting each of the machines in /etc/hostts may help too. nate Matthias Schulz wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm still out of luck with a ethernet-connection between 2 computers. > Here are the facts: debian 2.2 Kernel, 2.2.18, Linksys ethernetcards > (one PCI, one PCMCIA) crossover cable > > I can ping each other just fine. > Same machines can telnet each other or nfs-mount directories when I use the > plip-connection I want to get rid of.
