 Incoming connections hanging 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? ++ Jonathan Hayward, jonathan.hayward@pobox.com ** To see an award-winning website with stories, essays, artwork, ** games, and a four-dimensional maze, why not visit my home page? ** All of this is waiting for you at http://JonathansCorner.com      |

Ooops! that should read: Since the 10.0.0.0/8 is a private IP range (IANA) your system should not accept connections from the internet on that IP range. -- Confucius: He who play in root, eventually kill tree.

I saw your corrections but I think your assuption is wrong. I think the OP has a local lan. The OP should check his firewall, /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny...
