Telnet help needed - SCO 3.2v4.2

[deankn]

Am trying to telnet over the internet to a SCO system 3.2v4.2 - can only telnet inside the LAN - won't connect from the internet. Have NAT set up in router correctly, can see in router log where attempt is made to connect to correct port. Is there something that has to be set up on the unix box to allow internet IP addresses to connect?
Thanks
Dean

Can your SCO box see (i.e. ping) IP addresses out on the internet? If not, that's the problem. Try setting the router up as your default gateway (route add default 1.2.3.4 where 1.2.3.4 is the router's IP address). Annihilannic.

Hey, that worked! Thanks much.

Cool. You'll need to add that command to a startup script, for example /etc/rc2.d/S99route for it to take effect permanently. Annihilannic.
