ifconfig networking telnet
- by jhon
Hi guys,
I'm newbie around networking, I have a question:
what I want is to telnet a specific IP/server, let us say 192.168.128.1
then, I try
$telnet 192.168.128.1
Trying...
and that's all.. I never get connected
one of my friends made some script that "fixes" it, AFTER running it I was able to connect to the server using
$telnet 192.168.128.1
$ user:
unfortunately I lost that script, so I'm here requesting your help. Reading my old notes, I remember that the script performed some modification to the entries listed by ifconfig -a, I also have the ifconfig's output (copy & paste)
$ ifconfig -a
adapter0:
flags=5e080863,c0<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64BIT,CHECKSUM_OFFLOAD(ACTIVE),PSEG,LARGESEND,CHAIN>
inet 192.168.128.150 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.128.255

more than commands, I'm looking for some explanation why does "adding/changing" those entries enables me to connect to the server. I do not see the server ip (i.e 192.168.128.1) listed above.
thanks
