still problems in linx telnet

first of all thanks to all those who responded to my question last week.
my problem is still unsolved. after setting "disable = no" in /etc/xinetd.d/telnet my computer has started telnet to its own ip address but if i try to telnet to my other computer whose ip address is 10.0.0.2 it shows "trying........." and after few minutes it fails in connecting.
1-i have installed linux 7.2 on my both computers.
2-the ip addresses are 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.1.

hi susmam,
      u need to check the status by the command line
ps -aux , check to see is Telnet running? U need to creat an account before allowing telneting.Or u must use the root
account and passwd.I have no problems with my experience in telneting via win9x box or linux to linux box.NOt a problem at all.IF not , u try the ping command first to see if it accepts packeting .iF these isnt working , u had basic connection problems.Remember to SET firewall OFF before u try anything.

      If this is working fine, then u need to set the LMHOST by using a text editing environment or the pico editor.Then copy one to HOSTs too remember to reboot your PC , linux OS need to also to get the eth0 updated.

hope its helps !

Hi!

One more comment consider using ssh instead if you plan on allowing external access to any of your RH computers.
