My RH8.0 box is not responding to incoming connections (though it can
open outbound connections without trouble). When I try to connect from
another computer (IP 10.0.0.1), the connection is refused. What sort
of things should I look for in terms of enabling it to talk to the
outside world?
* /etc/hosts.allow has 10.0.0.1:ALL,
* /etc/hosts.deny has ALL:ALL
* Taking Portsentry from -atcp to -tcp made no observable change.
* When I installed Linux, I specified a high security firewall.
What should I look at to let my box talk with the outside world?
