Many thanks and apologies for the delay ( things take me some time
to work through ). Yes, I did use IP addresses and there was no
firewall running. But, as you surmised, I did not have telnetd
installed - I had telnet though and assumed the daemon was also
there. The problem seems to have been exacerbated by me
misunderstanding the route man page.
I can now access and move between the boxes. Again thanks for your
help.
Regards, john.
