Re: Telneting
Probably a problem with the tcp wrappers and the dns entries for your
win95 box. By default on a Debian system, the wrappers look up the
hostname of incoming connections from the IP address, the lookup the
hostname to check that it matches the original IP (not much of a security
measure really). If they don't match it drops the connection. Either have
your DNS admin fix it, or change the /etc/hosts.allow file to let your
win95 box in with less scrutiny.
