[Sheflug] Networking

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

Hi,

First thank you for all the help you have already given me on various problems and now for something new.

I am just experimenting with networking and have the following set up

computer one
Mandrake 7.2
mysystem.downstairs

computer two
Mandrake 8.0
mysystem.upstairs

They are both set with 
hosts.allow = ALL:
hosts.deny = NONE

I can ping from either box
from downstairs I can telent, ssh, ftp to upstairs with no problems. Going the other way I get connection refused by remote host what configuration files do I need to look in to sort this out. I have read the networking howto and am still confused.

Also when the local network is up I am unable to download my mail from the web I have to close it first and then dial into the web. I presume that my network configurating is preventing the system using resolv.conf to find the nameservers.  Why and what do I do about it?

Thanks for any help or advise on this.
