well, 2 t hings is your work outside your 10.X network ? i hope your on the same network as that machine :)
second ..the machine may be trying to resolve your ip ..or something. i have this problem too, and it goes away when i remove the default gateway. if the gateway is there and is unreachable it appears that it just hangs, but EVENTUALLY lets me in. may be a minute or so delay. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 11:52am up 75 days, 23:19, 1 user, load average: 0.34, 0.28, 0.28 On Wed, 3 Nov 1999, Patrick Kirk wrote: > Hi all, > > Just put Debian on a second PC and having problems telnetting in from work. > > Trying 10.0.0.2... > Connected to 10.0.0.2. > Escape character is '^]'. > Connection closed by foreign host. > > Anyone know why I'm not getting a login?
