If you are getting the Host Unavailable message try the following:

1. From the command prompt, 'set all security on', reset all.
2. If the ports are set to 'login network dialin', try 'set all prompt login:'
3. If you are not using 'portmaster' login service on your host then don't
use it on your portmaster. This is the login service given to login (shell)
users if no login service is specified in their user profile.

'set all service_login telnet'

or

'set all service_login rlogin'
