Enabled rlogin - set ports to 513, have the door PC allowing the servers IP to connect, as well as another remote pc on the network, set the door option to module - rlogin and the command string, l 192.168.1.13 %U %U ansi
(l) <- thats an L not an i

Selectting the D option...

Enter local login name ...
Enter login name on host ...
Enter term. type (ansi)
Enter extra parameter to shell ?????

then I get this;

Rlogin succefully resolved 192.168.1.13
Rlogin Initializing login call to 192.168.1.13.513
Please Wait...
Open failed because of: Can't open connection.

Off my main computer I can login the the door server directly using that IP and port number..but not out of the server...any ideas... I didnt think it would ask the question about names on local and host? is that the way this works? Thanks.

the command line above is a majortcp/ip command line.
you want to just simply put ip address of remote machine.

I changed that line to just 192.168.1.13

Selecting the D option it then ask's me for the IP to connect too as well as the other 4 questions and doesnt connect.

ok you're using majortcp/ip

command string is

"l ip address %u %u ansi" as you had before. note the quotations
