RE: [cobalt-users] Strange IP Problem

[aljuhani <aljuhani@xxxxxxxxx>]

What other services you can access when connected to ADSL:

1. http 
2. ftp
3. email, pop3 to check email.
4. Telnet/SSH.

Why? one possibility is that because with ADSL you have a static IP address 
and for some reason your server is blocking the access of that IP address.  It 
could be that the TCP Wrapper on your server has blocked the ADSL IP because 
of port scanning originating from that ADSL IP.
If you get access denied when trying to ftp, pop3, or ssh then try to login to 
the net using your dialup account and SSH your server then :

su -

cd /etc/

pico hosts.deny

then search for your ADSL IP address it might be there.

press ctrl+w and enter in the search field your ADSL IP

if you find it, press Ctrl+K to remove.

then Ctrl+X and choose to save the /etc/hosts.deny file.

SECOND Possiblity is that your ISP has probelms updating thier DNS Table.  But 
if Dialup works I do not see why ADSL is a problem.
