Running rexec on Windows XP to connect to Linux

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a Linux box, by running rexec on Windows XP
command line like this

rexec <ip address> -l <user name on linux> ls

Password (<ip address>:<user name on linux>):

I enter the password, but then it just sits there....

The Linux version is(uname -a)
Linux <box name> 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP

This works fine on a Solaris box.

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Vicky

Is an rsh server installed and running?

Yes, it is.

We figured it out. It was the reverse IP information missing from the
DNS server. I don't know exactly what that means, but that's what I got
from the network admininstrator. Works fine now. Thanks for your reply.
