The "telnet" operation is at the application layer. Connection refused is telling you that the "sshd" equivalent on the cygwin system isn't running. If it were a firewall issue on the cygwin side you'd either get "no route to host" indication or the telnet operation would appear to hang.... The difference would be in how the port was being blocked/filtered on the cygwin side. The "ping" operation is at the network layer and uses ICMP packets. This is a general statement for outside of your network...but I just want to mention that many times ping will *not* work but the service will since quite a few ISPs and systems block ICMP packets these days.. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
