WinXX doesn't have tcpdump *deep sigh*
heh... yep - another linux machine can login fine :) It's a prob with WinXX... on a FWIW it seems the 2.0.30preXX kernels work (just not on this computer... I have other code that requires 2.1 kernels) [I use identical TCP/IP configs with both (but different IP addresses of course :)... and the other machine works] (and, like I said, 2.1.24 also works on this machine... but it's missing some features I need for working on the machine)
telnetting into any port on this machine (the classic way to test sendmail fer instance) fails from winxx. So does ftp. So does WWW. So does postgres (my job rides on this)....
[incidentally, the other machine is a 486SLC-33 with too little drivespace and too little ram or I'd move postgres there]
Ah well.... G'day, eh? - Teunis
