That's great. One problem solved. However, when I tried to do the same thing from Windows , it just kept processing.... I also tried from my Windows to do telnet (linux hostanme) and telnet (linux hostanme) 80 But it just kept processing.... I think it may be the firewall that blocked port 80 between PC and Linux, but let ping go thru.
