This bothers me a lot, because I've heard about the strength of the BSD's net-code. When I try to login (telnet or rlogin) from my FreeBSD machine at work to my home machine (both running late September snap) telnet client says: "Trying <ip-address> Connected to ...". Then it hangs and eventually times out. ps -axlw on home machine says, that the new telnetd is in netio state. At first, I was blaming the company's fire-walls, but I can easily connect to my home machine from Solaris and Irix boxes, staying on the same net. The machine at work has no problems connecting to others too. I tried tcp_extensions (sysctl nw ...RFC ...) with no success ); Ideas? -mi
