PLIP
hi...
I bought myself a spanking new sencondhand laptop, and has eversince
tried to get PLIP up and running on it. I get everything right, and
pinging works fine. But the moment I try something with more content
like ftp or telnet, all I get is Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx... and
then it just looks at me and does nothing.
The laptop (Beeblebrox) is running a base slink system, and my box is
running slink with kernel 2.2.1. I've compiled plip.o, (and figured
out the generic parport stuff), and got everything working. The boxes
are connected with a Laplink parallel cable. The confusing thing is
that I can ping across, but nothing else. I've already checked my
hosts.allow and hosts.deny files, but since the connection is already
made, I don't think it's that. I can also do 'ftp localhost' on my
box, so ftpd is working....
please help... :)
Jack
