hi jack... regarding the mysql/httpd apps on the local box. when you do a "ps -aux" do you see the processes listed? when you set up mysql, does it have a passwd/host set up, or did you use the default settingw which are wide open for the setup? regarding the http/apache. on the local box, are you able to fire up firefox/etc.. and see the default webpage? -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jack Monflower Sent: Friday, November 14, 2008 7:30 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: networking in fedora 9 hello, i am stumbling upon something very frustrating with fedora 9. i installed several servers such as httpd. httpd starts together with fedora, and i can access them locally, by doing telnet localhost 8080 and telnet 10.0.0.4 8080 where 10.0.0.4 is the local LAN i have. however, whenever i try to do that from another computer in the LAN (say 10.0.0.2), i do not get anything. tcpdump -n port 8080 on the linux machine shows that the fedora box does get the packets when telnetting from 10.0.0.2, but it never sends packets back, so the connect just times out in 10.0.0.2. i disabled selinux, it is not even in permissive mode, but completely disabled. for ssh, this does not happen. meaning, i can send and receive freely packets to/from port 22 on the fedora box, and can ssh to the fedora box from anywhere in the LAN. any ideas what could be the reason? I looked around, found a few hints (for example, checking using tcpdump), but i just cannot isolate the problem. it also happens, by the way, with mysqld server - locally it works, but in the whole LAN it doesn't. thanks. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
