Strange Networking problem
I am using a linux box as a server on my network having win95/98 nodes. Services in use are smb file server (with domain logon), web server, mail server, squid proxy server, dhcp server. Telnet also works fine here.
Every thing works fine here. Now i want to shift this Linux box to another similar setup.
After shifting, I am able to log on to smb file server, use the dhcpd server without any problem. But the web server, mailserver and squid proxy services are not available.
I am able to ping but I am not able to telnet. Can some one help me out. This is not an isolated problem but none of the machines in the new setup are able to able to use the proxy or mail.

kathotia,
thank's for the "C" :)
I would be more interested to know whether any of the "hints" actually true; Before any of us could proceed further to help you solve the problem. Rather proposing a complete solution that is totally "off" the track.
cheers.

As Admin here, I do not see anything wrong that would require under the stadards that is the result of a C grade, therefore I shall change it, especially when the grade given probably was not tried at the time of acceptance.

your comments hepled me to solve my problem. 'C' was given because the comment was not actually the solution, but it only helped me locate the problems and solve it, actually the service xinetd was switched off due to some unforseen reasons. after reading your comments i discovered the fault and rectified it. hence the grade 'c'

kathoria,
Hmm... anyhow, at least post something for "PAQ" lurkers out there. At least we all could have benefit from your findings.

You can check /var/log/messages on your Linux machine for these errors.
