Hello,
Thank you very much for your mail. The problem that I am having is that there
does not seem to be any good information on setting up your network on
mandrake. I am thinking of going back to RedHat.
You were right I did not have the telnet server installed - I installed this but
am still getting the same message. Do you know if there is a website with some
information on trouble shooting networks with mandrake?
Thanks again,
Tom
