Then one of your machines aparently doesnt have networking setup
correctly.

can you telnet from the NT machine to the linux machine?

inetd has nothing to do with LCDd.
if your using inetd to manage port 13666, then there is your problem.
remove any references to that port form inetd and services.

LCDd is its own server, and handles listening on that port on its own.
if any other programs (i.e. inetd) are also lisinging on the same port,
whichever opens it first will get it (most likly Not LCDd)
