Yes!! The system-config-securitylevel did the job! I added port 1241 and it worked fine, I thought the firewall in Fedora turned off but I must have missed it. Thank youall for your help! It's awesome to get such great responses!! Tony On 5/9/05, Badger, Jared <Jared.Badger () acs-inc com> wrote:

When I try to connect I have a user created and can connect using that user on the Ferdora server, where Nessus is installed so I know it works and the user and pass are correct. When trying to connect from the client, having the correct port and IP added, I get a "could not establish a connection with server", I can ping from one server to the other so it can see the other server. So I ran Ethereal on the Fedora box, I saw the connection attempt was listed but all that was listed was a few TCP Syn packets and ICMP stating "Destination unreachable (Host administratively prohibited)" The user I set up was not limited to any IP ranges either. Also, I can't telnet to port 1241 from the Win2K server to the Fedora server even though the Fedora server is listening on that port. What could keep these two from connection? I have searched the web but I only find one guys response on several web pages but is no help. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much! Tony
