Hi there
I have installed httpd and telnet-server on RHEL5 standalone machine.
Normally when i install these services they work once i

edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
disable = no

start httpd and xinetd services ..

#chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
#chkconfig --level 345 xinetd on

#service httpd start
#service xinetd start

all this is working. no errors in messages log file
also no errors in access log and error log files

the rhel5 is on DHCP 192.168.1.169
from .169
i can ping the router at 192.168.1.1
i can ping the winxppro at 192.168.1.141
i can ping my vmware RHEL5 on winxppro at 192.168.1.133

and i can ping vise versa

i have telnetd and httpd working on .133
the fresh install is giving problem


i appreciate all the help
