telnet hangs

Hi All,
When I tried to telnet to lparB from lparA, it hangs at "Escape character is..".

I've tried;
- killed -15 [PID inetd]
- re-started it
- edit netsvc.conf, hosts=local,bind and hosts=local,bind4
- checked /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
- copy original inetd.conf
root@axdevt01::/usr/lpp/bos.net/inst_root/etc> ls -lrt inet*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root system 4559 Jul 9 2004 inetd.conf

- clean up
root@axdevt01::/etc> ls -lrt tcp.clean
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 2665 Jul 28 2005 tcp.clean

- re-start
root@axdevt01::/etc> ls -lrt rc.tcpip
-rwxrwxr-- 1 root system 5434 Nov 2 2006 rc.tcpip

But still hangs..

Any idea..?

Something wrong with name resolution maybe? Check DNS entries, /etc/hosts entries.

i renamed resolv.conf, and managed to telnet but when the users tried to access another lpar that retrieved data from the problematic lpar (informix database), they were not able to see any of the data, but i when log to the problematic lpar (informix database) itself, the data is all here.

any advise?
