Re: Connection Refused

[Simon Holgate <simon@george.seos.uvic.ca>]

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.

Cheers,

	Simon
