I have been playing with the hosts allow line
If I put in
hosts allow =192.168.0.20 192.168.0.21 127.0.0.1
It works from those IP addresses.
if I limit this to (ie remove the specific localhost ip address)
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24
It doesn't work (although the exact same configuration line is working on my
linux server, where I am accessing it from yet another linux machine)
Still puzzled:-(
