Re: [cobalt-users] reaching an additional IP#

[Rik Thomas <rikt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are seeing something similar on one of our RAQ 3s, locally I can telnet
to any port on a domain, 80, 25, 110.  However, if I telnet to those ports
from another machine on our network or outside of our network I get
connection refused.  I can ping by name and by IP though from anywhere in
our network or outside.  So obviously it is not a routing issue, not a
stale arp cache issue because I can ping that IP from anywhere.  

Cobalt support was in the box for quite some time yesterday but I never
received a call back.  I called again and they said they would call me
right back and never did.  Is anyone else having strange problems like
this on a RAQ 3?  We do have the latest updates from Cobalt on there as
well if that makes a differerence.
