Actually I have this problem too, so I'm glad someone else brought it up. I followed the Net-3-HOWTO and I can ping localhost (and other machines on the network). I can telnet/ftp to other machines on the network but not from other machines to my host. Nor can I telnet localhost. I have deleted everything from hosts.deny and I have the line: ALL: localhost magnux.seos.uvic.ca #the domain name of my host in the hosts.allow file (I aalso tried removing the file altogether to see if that made a difference)
By the way, at present I only have the base (diskette) installation.
