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 Additional info:
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
kumquat: This sounds like /etc/hosts.allow is denying your connection. You may check /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages.
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 ??? $ sudo rpm -ivh /mnt/redhat/comps/dist/7.1/i386/telnet-0.17-10.i386.rpm $ telnet hamburg Trying 172.16.2.151...
