[Dxspider-support] Connection Closed by Foreign Host

[Dave Trainor]

I have a report from a user on the KY4XX-3 cluster that my telnet connection is returning the following on a connect:


telnet dxc.ky4xx.com

Trying 198.73.30.100...

Connected to dxc.ky4xx.com (198.73.30.100).

Escape character is '^]'.

Connection closed by foreign host.

However I have node links up and running just fine, and other users connected via telnet, the only difference is that my other users are using various windows telnet programs and this error above is from a user running Linux and telnetting from the bash command prompt, as far as I know that should make no difference.

Anyone able to test for me and let me know what they get?  Or any ideas on what might be happening? If I have one person getting denied a connection then I have many more I don’t know about so am concerned to get this figured out.

The error would normally indicate that telnet/DXSpider is not listening on the port, but it Is, since I have other users on and working fine, am stumped at the moment.

System is dxc.ky4xx.com (198.73.30.100) on port 23, also web cluster page on port 80
The user that gets the above, gets the web page in a browser just fine, and is able to connect to other clusters.

Thanks,
Dave N8ZFM, sysop of KY4XX-3  dxc.ky4xx.com
