I've tried this again. This time I configured the knoppix-box started in text-mode (cheatcode: knoppix 2 expert) and logged in as user knoppix.
Of course I did give knoppix a password by typing:
Code:
passwd knoppix
, etc., etc., etc.

The result on the Win98-box are the same as earlier.

On my knoppix-box console the following apeared:
Code:
ftp(pam-unix)[947]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=192.168.0.51 user=knoppix
ftp(pam-unix)[954]: auth could not identify password for [ftp]
I am sure I used the right password and username.
I also tried on the Win98-box in IE 6.0 to use the following adress:
Code:
ftp://knoppix:[email protected]
IE explorer did exactly the same as when I typed
Code:
ftp://192.168.0.10
So what could there be wrong?
I think there might be 2 causes for this:

1. I do something wrong in the host-file.
Maybe the information I put in the host-file about the knoppix-machine is wrong.
I did gave some information about the client, but I think that should not be needed.
If it's needed I still have a problem when I want to connect over the internet.
I do not always know in front on which machine I'm working.
Or should I just put in the information of the firewall/router which will be the first hop for the knoppix-box?

2. There is something wrong with the user.
I'm still getting error-messages when adding a user with adduser

I hope someone can answer me what I have to do to get things working.

Thanks.
