[clue] Can't connect to Webmin

[foo7775 at comcast.net]

Thanks for the reply David. To address your questions in order: 

When I try to connect from the Win7 system, whether via browser or SSH, I'm using the IP address rather than the hostname. 

The suggestion to telnet to that machine & port was a good one, I hadn't remembered that trick. After configuring PuTTY appropriately, here's the output that it returned: 

get 
HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request 
Server: MiniServ/1.620 
Date: <datestring> 
Content-type: text/html; Charset=iso-8859-1 
Connection: close 

<h1>Error - Bad Request</h1> 

So - it *seems* that I'm not being blocked by any kind of firewall, & perhaps I should shift my attention to the application itself... 

Thanks again for the reply! 

T.

Did you use the same host name for SSH and HTTP (obviously for HTTP you have to specify the port 
correctly too)?

You could still have iptables rules active (stopping the service doesn't necessarily unblock all the 
ports). But I doubt it. See what telnet tells you if you do a get from the Windows 7 box.
