ug, no offense, but I wish people would read the whole post the first
time. I have done this, the routing works fine. As I mentioned before,
ping, ftp, http, traceroute, every single TCP/IP program I have tried
EXCEPT telnet works just fine.
the EXACT same network setup worked a few days ago, until I started
playing with 2.1.47 and up, and recompiled net-tools, which is why I was
posting to the kernel list also.
on further investigation I have noticed that telnet will not work with an
IP address that is not in my etc hosts file.
for instance:
$ ftp 10.52.1.25
Connected to 10.52.1.25
.....
$telnet 10.52.1.25
Trying 10.52.1.25...
Connection Failed. Connection refused by remote host.
$echo "10.52.1.25 blah blah" >> /etc/hosts
$telnet 10.52.1.25
Trying 10.52.1.25...
Connected to 10.52.1.25
Escape character is '^]'.
.....
note that running tcpdump on my machine shows that NO packets are
generated for the first telnet call, not an arp-request, nothing.
why would telnet require an IP address do be in the hosts file??
