Hi everyone I have installed linux from PCQ CD it's based on redhat 7.1 Now my problem When I start my netscape prowser on linux box It is unable to open the

localhost whose domainname is loaclhost.localdomain

I am able to http:// to my win machine running PWS but not telnet http://

or ftp to linux box

How do I do this.. Do I need to install samba.

You need apache installed, configured & running. With Red Hat 7.1, apache comes configured with PHP & MYSQL. But you have to start the service. Type # #service httpd status (enter) #service httpd start (enter) #lynx localhost (enter) Its working... : )

Also Please right subject, such that it gives hint about your problem.

Navin....

probably you have not installed any of these daemons or you have not started them. telnet and ftp are usually run using inetd ( man inetd ) so if these daemons are installed check the file /etc/inetd.conf for if the lines containing ftp and telnet are not commented.

no you don't need to install samba for http, telnet and ftp.
