Ping works but ftp, http, telnet don't

Hi,

I have a strange Win98 network problem. I can connect to my isp via dialup modem or use the lan (different isp) at work via network card on my laptop but in both cases I can't use anything on the tcp/ip stack higher than ping. Ping works okay for the most part (on my dialup modem I can't ping some ips, notably my own ISP's!) but ftp and http return socket errors (10014). When I use the lan at work I can log in, see other computers and share drives, etc. but once again tcp/ip fails when I try to use ftp, http, or telnet. Any help is appreciated!

Ricardo

You have to use DNS ( domain name server). Right now, you can only access web sites or ftp sites using and IP adress. Contact your ISP and ask them what their DNS adresses are.
in order to do that, you have to go in TCP/IP settings( in dial up networking)

good luck

Yes 10014 means "Bad Address"

It can't resolve the names to IP address.

If you are talking about linux RedHat 7.2
you have to enable telnet in /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file.
disable = no instead of disable = yes

and then /ect/init.d/xinetd restart
