That was my thoughts, but if I remove hosts.allow and hosts.deny all works
fine.  I did have a firewall installed, but removed it to trace what was
causing this.  I have temporarily set the default policy as masquerade at
boot up.

Both have the same ip address (10.0.0.1) but a different hostname.  Computer
B uses diald to dial up, computer A has a script that I call when I want the
connection.

Ping just sits there until I cancel it.  Telnet says "unable to establish a
connection" or something similar.
