I have been playing with the hosts allow line If I put in hosts allow =192.168.0.20 192.168.0.21 127.0.0.1 It works from those IP addresses. if I limit this to (ie remove the specific localhost ip address) hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 It doesn't work (although the exact same configuration line is working on my linux server, where I am accessing it from yet another linux machine) Still puzzled:-( -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
