[Sheflug] Firewall ???

["richard davies" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have what I believe to be a standard Mandrake 8.1 install with security set to minimal but when I attempt to telnet to the machine I am actually sitting at I get the following.

telnet 127.0.0.1
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

This machine is set up on a network and has the address 192.168.0.1 attempting to telnet to that gives the same result.

I can connect out from this box but cannot connect from the other computer. I presume there are some firewall rules set somewhere but I can't find them.

Firing up iptables -L gives 

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Any ideas what I have done wrong would be most helpful

Regards
