hie all, i have set up a network using my linux system. but i can not connect to other pc's using telnet or rlogin or rsh or ssh. when i try the connection is being refused. basically i'm trying tftp to load a kernel image using my network.the tftp is not responding as well. here all the services mentioned above are running under xinetd.others can connect to my pc using those services and load the necessary files also using tftp.but problem is when i try i get a refuse message.i configured tcp_wrapper by allowing all pc's in my network.i can not find what might be the reason so that i can not establish a connection to other pc's using any services and tftp espicially.the net configuration of my pc seems the be same as others on the network.but i can not connect to others though others can connect to me with no problem!..please help me..

Are the others running the same services as you? Are you able to see the relavent ports open on the other computers with a portscan?

First check if everything is OK about connection between you and other LAN clients. Just make a quick test; from your console try: $ telnet some-other-pc-ip 22 You must see autentication label of remote SSH server. If don't, check is it running on the remote machine. If remote sshd is up, check is there some refusing rules on your linux machine $ iptables -L -n If yes, flush all of them and test again.telnet to port 22. Good luck
