Topic: why is everyone ignoring me.

[NickR]

i did this but had to do ctrl c to exit
now what. ps thanks for the help.
it looks as though telnet is disabled  as i did a config show and lokked at telnet as well

Hmm, ctrl-c shouldn't be required.  Something else going on here I suspect.

Feel free to email - there's an email icon on my posts.

Just to tidy up this topic, the OP re-installed on new hardware & the problem was gone.  Motto: don't trust 6 year-old hardware to "just work"!
