   Yes two router but :   
      
      
   1st level router is a Virgin Media Hub 5 that I have now turned off the   
   Firewall (but do not think it applies) then set it to be a modem only.   
   This is connected via Lan cables to a Asus RT-AX82U Router that lins to all    
   the   
   household system via both Lan cable and some Wi-Fi systems but mostly the like   
   of phones, Hive hub etc.   
      
   The main system including that of the Linux based BBS system is wired direct   
   via 1 Gb Lan cable.   This router has been set to transfer incoming via   
   advanced WAN settings-> Virtual SErver / Port forwarding to :   
      
   FTP Server     20,21      21     192.168.1.3 TCP   
   HTTP Server    80         80     192.168.1.3 TCP   
   Mailer         24554      24554  192.168.1.3 BOTH   
   torrent        6881:6889         192.168.1.3 BOTH   
   TELNET Server  23         23     192.168.1.3 BOTH   
   ssh            22         22     192.168.1.3 BOTH   
      
   The settings for Telnet and SSH was originally set for TCP but I changed it to   
   BOTH when first seeing the problem.   
      
   Now FTP, HTTP, Mailer all work (Torrent) is not used on .3 anyway)   
      
   The new connecting link set up are the last two and nothing happens other than   
   a refused message but have no idea what is causing it such as before the modem   
   or the router there are no messages in the log files for mbse mailer etc   
   regarding such a connection.   
      
   In file xinetd.conf has a includedir entry for  /etc/xinetd.d  which has the   
   services for:   
   binkp   
   fido   
   tfido   
      
   and   
   telne :   
      
   # Telnet to the bbs using mblogin, disabled by default.   
   #   
   service telnet   
   {   
           disable         = no   
           protocol        = tcp   
           instances       = 10   
           flags           = REUSE   
           log_on_failure += USERID   
           socket_type     = stream   
           user            = root   
           server          = /usr/sbin/telnetd   
           server_args     = -L /home/mbse/bin/mblogin   
           wait            = no   
   }   
      
   It is not disabled   
      
   In /var/log/security.log there is no instances regarding telnet.   
      
   I am going to restart the system as mbse is refusing to shut down ie mbtask is   
   still running so see what that does not holding my breath.
