Cobalt Users,

Why is my cobalt Raq4r blocking me from connecting with ftp. This happens all the time and it's always the same cycle. The weird thing is that it seems to only block MY ip address. If I switch from my static connection to dial-up, it connects fine. Here's the cycle.

1. Connect with ftp many times throughout the day.(no problems)
2. ftp all the sudden won't let me connect anymore.
3. I reboot the server and I can now connect fine.

This is just a wild guess, but it seems that after connecting too many times with ftp, the server is blocking my ip address. I do admit that I'm connecting and disconnecting with ftp A LOT. Is this some type of security precaution that the cobalt has? Is there a way to avoid having to reboot?

Thanks,

Jeremy


Are you running anything like ipchains, port sentry or the new system security hardening? Or any other type firewall?
