One that runs XP, and one that dual boots W2k and RedHat 7.3. I have them connected via crossover cable, and the two can talk when both window OS's are running.
If I boot the second PC in Linux, is there a way that I can telnet to it from my XP PC?
Any pointers or website references would be appreciated.
XP knows the connection is there, and I monitor eth0 in Red Hat. I see activity coming accross, but I still get the "Connection refused" message when using putty or telnet.
I've run the iptables stop AND lokkit
I also have xinetd running, but I'm not sure what port I need to use. Is there a way to check that in RedHat?
I'm probably missing something really basic, but I just don't know what it is.
The SSH thing, I'm not sure how to get that going.
