[lug] telnetd problem

[Chris Wade]

I use SecureCRT at work to telnet from Win2000 to my Linux machine at home.
I've got a cable modem at home with a hub going off to the linux machine and
two windows laptops, all with separate IP addresses.  So picture Cable
Modem, Hub, then the three branching off from there... I would like to have
the laptops plus one macintosh going through the hub to the linux box to the
cable modem, but that's another issue.

When I try to telnet now from my laptop to the linux box, using its IP, I
get 'telnetd: getnameinfo' and connection aborted, while at work it works
fine.  Any obvious reasons why this would be so?

Thanks,

Chris
