RE: Two questions

I had nothing but trouble telneting into a linux box from win95 once I had
setup firewalling (this was with a Slakware 2.0.30 kernel) then I got
QVT/Term from http://www.frontiernet.net/~qpcsoft and it works great. That
was when I stopped troubleshooting telnet.

one thing you could try is telneting into both ip addresses for the
firewall. You may be able to telnet into the 192.168.x.x address but not
the "real world" IP address.
