Losing Telnet calls

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 26 Jan 2005

Q:
We are running NBM3.7 and using VPN Client to Site. We can access all the internal hosts except when trying to use Telnet. I have unloaded ipflt and this makes no difference. I can ping the host I am attempting to Telnet to, but tracert and Telnet fail.

A:
If you have a transparent Telnet proxy setup, you need to add an exception IP address (the host you are trying to connect to). If you don't do this, the proxy will intercept the Telnet calls coming in from the VPN, and things will get lost.
