In addition, it also restricts connections to those ports in the firewall, unless you changed that during install. The best way to enable access to your machine is to run the system-config-securitylevel command and allow connections to the SSH port. > the PuTTY I have in XP or in CentOS? > PuTTY is one example of an SSH client that runs on Windows. You can use this program to connect to your CentOS machine (after you have done the above). Matt -- Matt Hyclak Department of Mathematics Department of Social Work Ohio University (740) 593-1263
