Here is my problem, I have a Linksys 4 port cable/dsl router with 3 winbox'es hooked up to it and one nixbox with redhat 7.1
The 3 winbox work fine and I have all settings configured manually, that is to say I dont use DHCP

however on the nixbox I can ping IP's and addresses externally and internally and I get reply's (google.com gets reply's with no packet loss and so does 192.168.1.1) but if I try to use Lynx, or FTP or Telnet it doesent work and the connection timesout I really dont understand this and have been trying to fix it for 3 days.

Hi..


Run tcpdump in one V.console and analyse the flow. It may give some idea. where may be the problem is ?

I should of added that the computer its installed on for some reason they gave me the wrong adapter with the motherboard for the mouse and I have no way of attaching a mouse to the board. So I cant run X-windows at all also I am a newbie so if there is a way to run tcpdump with just the command console lemme know how and I will do it and report the reults

It could be a DNS problem. Have added your isp's dns server(s) in /etc/resolve.conf?

Yes i put the nameserver in the resolv.conf

Just run tcpdump form ur textconsole (tty2 or tty3) and capture the output and analyse

Typing tcpdump says command not found
