I just installed linux-mandrake. I first had problems enabling ftp from my other windows box onto linux but discovered my problem. My new problem is unable to connect to linux using telnet. It finds the ip address with no problem but says the remote host closed the connection or connection refused. Any suggestions Scott Dagastino __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions.yahoo.com/
