Description John P Rogate 2001-06-05 16:43:11 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
new red hat 7.1 installation.  able to telnet into machine fine.  except 
for the red hat machine itself...cannot telnet out to any machine (by name 
or ip address).  can ping any machine by its name or ip address, but when 
trying to telnet out get "no route to host message".  similar machine 
running 7.0 has no problem.  network card running fine, netscape running 
fine, ping running fine, network parameters set up fine.  default search 
hosts, dns.  person in office next door having similar issue.  we give 
up!  any clues?  basically cannot telent to any machine other than the 
local machine (but can telnet in fine).

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  telnet
2.  open hostname (or ip)
3.  no route to host message
	

Actual Results:  still cannot telnet out...though can ping to the machine.

Expected Results:  login prompt from remote machine

I, too, have this problem. I telnet out and get a message that I am connected to 
the host machine, it sits for several seconds, and then says that the 
remote host closes the connection. I am never asked to logon...

kumquat: This sounds like /etc/hosts.allow is denying your 
connection. You may check /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages.

Comment 3 John P Rogate 2001-06-12 14:48:12 UTC

this has absolutely nothing to do with hosts.allow....

like i said...i can telnet to the machine from anywhere (in the world).  cannot 
telnet out to anywhere (in the world).  can telnet out from any other machine.

No problems here. Are you sure you do not have any firewall settings on 
your local machines? ipchains -L ???
