Kenny,
I encountered this problem before. The tcp wrapper tries to resolve your hostname.
You should check whether you enabled the NIS host lookup in /etc/nsswitch.conf before
DNS or FILE. Check also you hostname is included in the local host file or DNS. If
you are not using any NIS domain, you should put [NOTFOUND=RETURN] after FILE, DNS.
Otherwise it will keep trying to resolve your hostname. But if you put
[NOTFOUND=RETURN] there, it will stop trying after lookup through FILE and DNS fails.
Hope that it helps.
Ken

Hi, I just installed Mandrake 6.0 on my machine, when I tried
to connect to this machine from another using Telnet the client
would just refuse to connect through. I have checked that
telnetd are setup properly in inet.
Can anybody help?
The following is the message I get in xterm for telnet
connection;
$ telnet 192.168.1.1
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
