Topic: XP Pro connection to SME server

[Bill Gates]

I can ping my server 192.168.40.10
I have Outpost set up with a gateway for that IP address.

I can't see the server. I can't access the files. Even putty can't get through. What's wrong?

I'm using XP Pro. My Win NT4 and Win 98 machines connect to it very well.

I can ping but not telnet nor do anything else.

It seems I needed under XP to enter more data in the Local Area Connection than under Win 98.

Network Neighbourhood combined everything nicely under Win 98. XP is a little more complex.

Mostly sorted now

The server rejects telnet, it will only use ssh connections. Putty should work find is you select ssh rather than telnet.

ssh = Secure SHell
