Hello.

You may insert your favorite self-effacing newbie statement here.

I'm trying to telnet from my company's net to Sunsolve.  I get :

telnet sunsolve1.sun.com
Trying 192.9.9.24 ...
Connected to sunsolve1.sun.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

ftp to the same site works OK.  telnet from another part of the
company, through another firewall, works OK.  We also get "connection
refused" message returns on some e-mail sent outside.

Our firewall is running on an HP UNIX box.  The person running the
firewall (a Brent Chapman Firewalls Tutorial graduate) and I have a
feeling that it is related to identd; the HP box doesn't have identd.
He's working on getting it.

I'm waiting for a callback from Sun, but not holding my breath.  I'm
hoping that the collective consciousness can tell me if we're looking
in the wrong direction, or point out some other avenues to
investigate.

Humble thanks.
