I am using FreeBSD 2.2.0 and there is some server that uses FreeBSD 2.2.1.
The problem is that I cannot connect to the server.  When I try to telnet
to the server, it shows :
Trying ???.???.???.???...
Connected to ???????.???.
Escape character is '^]'.
but after that, it just gets stuck there.  I found one weird error that if
I try to use rlogin instead, i get :
-> rcmd: server.com: Undefined error: 0
and if I try to execute using rsh, then I get :
-> select: protocol failure in circuit setup
When I use ftp to connect to the server, it says connected to blah.com but
after that, i don't see any login prompts.  Samething happens to www.  It
says connected to blah.com. waiting for connection. and then it sits
there.
I can't access any of the ports on that server.   When I try different
operating system like windows, then I don't get this error.  It just
connects.  Other people said it worked.  I used to connect to the server
using the same setup / OS when the server ran Linux, but after it switched
to freebsd 2.2.1, i just can't connect directly from my box.
Does anyone have any idea? or is it one of the bugs in the new releases?
THanks all.
