shevett@dworkin.UUCP ( Sysop) (02/18/91)
Situation: SCO Xenix 2.3.1, WD8003 Ethernet, TCP/IP 1.0.1h. Systems: dworkin (Xenix 2.3.1), fiona (PeeCee w/NCSA), random (3b1) Problem: I can telnet from dworkin out to random, the 3b1, and log in nicely. FTP's work, etc. Neither fiona nor random can telnet INTO dworkin. fiona gets the System V.3.2.1 (dworkin.amber.com), but no login and exits with a Null Pointer Assignment. Random connects, then gets a 'Connection closed' and bops out. Another friend mentioned for some reason the TCP/IP under Xenix seems to accept the connection, but cannot fork out the login. I REALLY need to be able to telnet into the machine. It's extremely difficult to work on my machine from the console. Oh, one more anomaly: The 3b1 (random) lets me rlogin into the system. Aren't rlogin and telnet almost the same?!??! Since I don't have rlogin for the peecees, I do need telnet to work. Thanx! shevett@mccc.edu <-- works great shevett@dworkin.amber.com <-- Under construction mccc.edu!dworkin!shevett <-- less glamorous, but functional.
