xinetd, ftp, telnet question

[maxwas]

hello all,

i am trying to enable ftp and telnet on my gentoo box, on my private network - not publicly (i understand the security implictions).

i have installed xinetd, proftpd and telnetd.

-> xinetd is starting.

-> telnet is starting, but i can only telnet to localhost, not remotely

-> ftp is not working at all - not even on command line.

-> the above services are enabled in xinetd.

can anyone give me any pointers as to what i am doing wrong?

thanks in advance

I have never used telnet so this is just a guess.

In the telnet config is there somewhere to choose which ip's are allowed to connect to the telnet server?

If may help if you post your config files for telnet as well as the ftp server.

Do you have a router on your network? Could it have a built-in firewall that's blocking your connections?

Here's my /etc/xinetd.conf file

Of special interest is the only_from entry.

192.168.1.0 really means everything from 192.168.1.
