server refusing remote connections (@Home)
Hi ;
My linux server is running RH 6.2 and connected to the internet via @Home w/ an ethernet interface to a RCA Docsis Modem.
I'm attempting to connect to this server from a remote win98 via a dial-up connection.
The server is refusing all remote connections (telnet,ssh , even HTTP ).
These services are available when calling the IP or "DNS Name+gateway" locally - ie. I can establish a telnet session to the server's IP from a client within the server , but not from a remote client - same goes for retrieving web pages from its Apache installation ; no remote connections on the "eth0" interface.
The server is apparent via Ping and Traceroute.

to ensure that it's not due to @Home I've connected the cable modem to my win98 and performed similar tests - retrieving web pages etc..
I haven't experienced a problem connecting to windows w/ a remote client.
this server had previously been colocated at a local ISP and used as a web & FTP server , I haven't changed the configuration significantly since receiving it - installed DHCPCD and modified the config for @Home (network , resolv.conf , & hosts).
_also , I've run tcpdump and attempted to connect but haven't seen anything to indicate a connection by a remote client on eth0 , local clients are apparent on 'lo' - I don't really know how to read tcpdump's output though :P
_also checked hosts.allow and everything seems to be in order regarding ssh and telnet. Again, these services had been accessible when the server was running at the isp and there haven't been substantial changes made since then.
I'm kind of stuck - any advice will be appreciated
David
