in that case you may want to check to make sure the IP address of the machine you're trying to connect to this box from isn't being blocked by port sentry. check the /etc/hosts.deny file for the IP address of that machine. If it's there you'll want to enter that machine's address into the hosts.ignore and hosts.allow file so this doens't happen any more. that happens to me at least once every time I setup a new box. -- daRcmaTTeR ---------- Registered Linux User 182496
