A TCP "reset" can be sent at any time -- including after a TCP connection has been established. Given that the telnet(1) session indicated that the TCP connection had been established, I therefore suspect that the LDM server on x.x.x.80 is closing the connection. Please send me the output of the following command -- executed by the LDM user on x.x.x.80 in their home directory: grep -i ^allow etc/ldmd.conf Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: VVJ-331218 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
