The high ports are where I'm having problems. Sounds like you are running FTP from behind a firewall. Try running "tcpdump" to see if packets are actually coming in and getting dropped, or getting dropped somewhere before they ever get to your system. --Greg

What file am I missing that is blocking the high ports? Do you have firewalling setup? -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

Blocked high ports (fwd)
Hello all, Got a problem that is driving me nuts. Sorry to have sent to both lists, but it is affecting both my laptop (Toshiba Satellite 4080XCDT) and my desktop (K6-2/450) machine. I installed Debian/Slink afresh on defiant (the desktop) over the weekend, and immediately upgraded it to Potato. defiant is dns and dhcp server fro my home network. Got the dns tables set back up, and noticed that nothing on the network was ableto do DNS queries. Started doing a bit of digging, and also noticed I could only ftp in passive mode. Normally ftp connects, then switches that connection to an arbitrary hign (>1024) port. The two systems would connect, then nothing would happen. I checked /var/log/syslog and saw connection refused messages as far as the eye could see. Blocking connections from the local nodes, E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET (one of the top-level DNS'), etc. I tried telnetting into the localhost on an arbitrary port: [EMAIL PROTECTED] storm]$ telnet localhost 6699 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I have set up hosts.allow/hosts.deny to allow everything from the local network. What file am I missing that is blocking the high ports? Thanks, --Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
