Hi, Go through these steps and see what happens:
1. Run these commands $ /usr/sbin/inetd --remove-as-service $ /usr/bin/iu-config Answer the q's depending on whether or not to keep the existing files. Replace your old inetd.conf, and backup if you need to keep the old copy. $ /usr/sbin/inetd --install-as-service 2. Reboot your machine !!! 3. After reboot, open up a cmd.exe console and run this: C:\> netstat -an |less If you see port 23 in a LISTENING state then it's worked partly. Also check for other inetd ports like 22 (ftp) etc. and see if you can connect to them. 4. try and connect to your telnet server (localhost:23). If you cant connect then im stumped! Check your event log if you have problems and report back ;) Elfyn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Original Message: ----------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 08 Dec 2002 15:10:27 +0000 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: telnet - connection refused in windows xp home here is what i get (using my administrator 'privilege') inetd --install-as-service inetd does not show up in services when I run net start inetd macro$ollar replies The service is not responding to the control function --(must be some type of Orwellian monster!)
