Hi David, Thanks for the info. I created a system-wide environment variable using the control panel called "CYGWIN" with a value of "ntsec" and rebooted, and now telnet and ftp are working fine!
Thanks for your help. /John >From: David Starks-Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "John Vincent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: problem with telnet and ftp server on win 2K >Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 11:41:50 +0100 > >On Tuesday 30 Apr 02, John Vincent writes: > > I've discovered that I cannot successfully telnet into my Win 2K box >using > > the cygwin inetd, there is also a problem with the ftp service.
