Thanks Stephen
I used the above on tty2, which from the man page I understand means that this machine will listen for shell commands on port 2080. However, when try to contact this host from my workstation using: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nc -t Homer 2080 Homer.PRIORYROAD [192.168.1.21] 2080 (?) : No route to host This is all pretty new stuff to me ;) Any suggestions?
