Hi All.
This might be OT for the list, but I know there are some decent network
admins reading it...
A customer of mine has a static IP address with a server on the back of
it, running a few odds and ends. Nothing special - mail, web, news, ftp.
He can't currently talk to his server - and nor can I (ssh is open to my
address). Running nmap against his address currently[1] gives me a single
port open - 5555. So I connected to it...
[vic@goliath ~]$ telnet <address> 5555
Trying <address>...
Connected to <address>.
Escape character is '^]'.
501 Not Implemented
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: close
Content-Length: 149
Server: FedoraCore/6 UPnP/1.0 miniupnpd/1.0
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>501 Not Implemented</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>Not

server.</BODY></HTML>
Connection closed by foreign host.
(I hit return twice at the point where there is a gap above).
Now I'm only expecting one machine there to be running Linux at all - and
it's not running FC6. There might be an embedded Linux somewhere - it's a
Belkin router; I don't know what they run inside.
I rang the ISP, who claimed to be certain that this customer was
definitely connected on this IP address.
Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks.
Vic.
[1] nmap has given me several very different results over the course of
the day.
