=======================================================

Hi All,

i have been working on the above machine with IP: 10.8.104.53 for some time now...installing websphere, oracle etc. Until day-before-yesterday i was able to login to it just fine as both the root user and as the oracle user. I was using XStart (Netsarang NetManager) to connect to it.
Then day-before i tried to login and i kept getting this message:

It keeps saying "Cannot establish a connection to 10.8.104.53 on port 23"
Neither can SSH and RLOGIN.

I tried telneting to it and pinging it from the dos prompt of my local windows machine on the same network -- IP: 10.8.108.136. This is what i get:

To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.
