i think u have enabled firewall in linux box. so it refuses connections comes from xp box. as i understand u r in secure network. so stop it. stop iptables (firewall).
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop

it wont work every bootup
#chkconfig --level 35 iptables off

the path on tinysofa is /etc/init.d/iptables

and i still get this from Xp using putty to log into tinysofa PC

login as: root
root@192.168.0.28's password:
Access denied
root@192.168.0.28's password:

who can attack your linux? it has a only one connection to xp. and it can only access internet via NAT (via XP). so it is in already secure network. it doesnt have any network interface which conneted to internet directly.

but its up to u. try to configure your firewall to allow all connections come from xp.
i hope the fallowing works.
#iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.1 -j ACCEPT

I see what you mean

On my another PC i was using the GUI to trust Xp to access my other linux box..

I'll give it ago

tommytomato · 05-12-2004, 08:43 AM

wied stuff i get errors on both

I did what you said
#iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.1 -j ACCEPT

Then i restarted iptables

then tried putty and WinSCP3

and no go ( Access denied )

I want to beable to access the tinysofa PC from XP using putty and WinSCP3 because its screen is on its way out...

I dont use a mouse only a key board and the CLI command line only not many GUI's on this box..

u better try fedora's default firewall configuration tool.
type
#setup
then choose firewall config tool and then open tcp 22 port.

tommytomato · 05-12-2004, 08:56 AM

my Fedora is ok..

that one goes into my DSL unit..

You could leave it as is...or
touch / lib/modules/2.4.26-5tsfirewall/modules.dwp
would set the time stamp to this file and no more error message would be issued.

And BTW if you obtained

It's because youre firewall let you pass trough and Lnx is answering... Try to ssh with no root user and a valide password

Thank you guys things are on a roll

Just thinking about it
( #iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.1 -j ACCEPT )

wouldn't I have to put in as well or even on its own for me to access the tiny sofa box from XP using
putty or using WinSCP3

( #iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.10 -j ACCEPT )

Because i still cant get to it..

Hi there:
I´ve similar problem when instlling my Mandrake Box and turned out that if you are runing linux secure mode, the host doesn´t respond to the ping command not to localhost anyway. There is a conf file file refering to this but I don't remember which one.

Hope this helps

/etc/hosts /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny

tommytomato · 05-13-2004, 01:36 AM

I did try this and no go

( #iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.10 -j ACCEPT )
