I am setting a new home LAN and am new to LINUX.
My configuration is simply a Linux Server(10.0.0.1) and one WIN98(10.0.0.2) Client
The domain name I have choosen is "infoserve.com" and my host names are "winpc" and "linpc"
I am running an APACHE Web Server on the LINUX Server.
I have the network setup and can ping both machines from both directions.
I am trying to access a webpage on the server from the WIN98 machine but am unsuccessful.
In tracing the problem and from discussions on various forums I believe the problem can be
solved in debugging telnet, which at present dosn't work
I cannot telnet to the server from the WIN98 Machine using the command
telnet 10.0.0.1 80
What usually happens is that:
1 - The "Dial-Up Connection" Window pop's up (My modem is located in the Win98 Machine)
I press cancel.
2 - The telnet window appears but with no prompt visible, eventually it times out with
the response "Could not open a connection to 10.0.0.1"
From the SERVER (Linux Machine) I tried the telnet function
telnet 10.0.0.1 80
I get connected and on entering the "GET /" command, am returned the HTML Code
from the test page followed by the message "Connection closed by foreigm host"
I can also telnet the localhost using "telnet localhost" and am prompted to enter
the login and password as expected.
I have been fiddling around with such settings as those in
"/etc/hosts.allow"
"/etc/hosts.deny"
"/etc/xinetd.d/telnet"
but am unsure as to the problem.
I believe if I get to telnet from the WIN98 Machine to the LINUX Apache Server then
my problems will be solved!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
