My two computers with fixed IP's can ping each other but telnet says
"unable to connect to remote host" I would guess it might have to do
with file permissions. I just need this because of the X lockups I get
often enough to be a problem.
TIA for hints as to where to look or what I should be reading.
Do you have a telnet daemon running on the remote host? If so, check the
remote hosts' /etc/hosts.deny and hosts.allow. man 5 hosts_access
Thanks. I got it a little farther and I know what to reread now.
You should really be using ssh. Any reason why you're stuck on telnet?
I went ahead and switched to setting up ssh.
Thanks, Brian and Karsten.
