Here's
what I would do....There's probably a more Unix way to do this, but I not a very
Unix type of guy.
1)
Make sure that you can ping the address from the client. If yes, then move
to next step...otherwise fix...
2)
Make sure that Telnet is set to run at startup. Type "ntsysv" at the
prompt and make sure that there is a check next to telnet...for that matter,
make sure that telnet is listed. (If it's not listed, then it needs to be
installed). You should reboot after fixing this...you don't have to
reboot...there is a command to restart the inits, but I always forget it, so I
just reboot...
3)
>From your Linux system type "Telnet" Just to see if that end is
working.
4) If
you still can't telnet to the system...then...make like 4 attempts to telnet in
a row...to make a clear log trail.
5) Go
to the Linux system and type "tail /var/log/messages" If you get messages
about dropped packets, you probably have a firewall running and blocking
telnet.
6)
type "tail /var/log/secure" and see if the sessions is opening correctly.
It should show lines that talk about telnet opening etc... If it's being denied,
you might have libwrap running, like I do, in which case you need to edit your
hosts.allow file.
My
hope is that something here will work for you. If it were me and I still
had issues, I'd probably try reloading the telnet RPM module. Again...I'm
not a Unix guy...
By the
way...you probably already know that ssh is a MUCH, MUCH better way to access
your system remotely...It's secure, has all the same stuff as telnet and it's
secure...but most importantly...IT'S SECURE! Start it up the same way you
start telnet (its sshd) and then connect to it using the free client called
Putty. You should probably get putty anyway for the telnet
connections...it's the right thing to do.
