hi mahendra ...

ok..so ur networking is working fine..
> other machines to connect to itself. The error on other machines is

looks like either the applications are not installed or not started...
more details reqd. here ... do u mean that u r not able to telnet to the linux
box ? or ftp or www browse ?
u can check what servers are stated by the command
netstat -at | less
for example , my machine shows the following...
_____________
[venu@sq venu]$ netstat -at |less
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 *:telnet *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:800 *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN
______________
the above shows that the telnet, ftp , www servers are in the active (LISTEN)
so u can telnet into this server from another machine etc...
look into the man pages of netstat for more details..
all initialization scripts are installed in /etc/init* ... ( check that out )
> /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. It is not working. Will you please
> sort out the problem for me ?
another thing ... have u installed the relevant packages ?
check with dselect.. or dpkg
look into the man pages for dpkg.. (don't remember the command !!)
> By the way , one more thing. Can I configure various utilities (e.g. network)

sure u can configure all the utilities after installation !!!!
btw: have u read the debian installation manual ? its available at
