Alright maybe I am a little slow but I thought I had this under control =
at one point, now it all seems to be different. I have my firewall =
working, but I have been having problems with FTP, telnet, swat, etc =
working for the internal network. I have been working with the firewall =
thinking it was there. I just ran a test that makes everything I thought =
was either wrong or incorrect. Here it goes:

My hosts.deny file has the following line:

ALL:    ALL


My hosts.allow has the following lines:

ALL:    127.0.0.1    192.168.0.
swat:    127.0.0.1    192.168.0.


I can not get any of the services to work on the internal network. FTP =
and telnet will not work to the Linux box, nor will swat. I have tried =
the following lines as well and they did not work either:

ftp:    127.0.0.1    192.168.0.
telnet:    127.0.0.1    192.168.0.


What am I missing?

Thank you,

David
