If you plan on using telnet to connect to the default telnet port your computer will need to be running a telnet service.
To use a client (in this case telnet) to connect to a service on another computer (also in this case a telnet daemon or service) you need to have a server running on "your" computer. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 6 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 6 | So I would need a server on my old computer or could i just open telnet an connect to default port | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | You need a telnet server running on the computer to connect via telnet to the server...

It is installed by default I believe, best bet would be to search MS knowledgebase or if you do a search in the XP help on your computer, it will search the KB also. To get you started, here is a HOWTO on enabling telnet server in windows 2000.

It gives you a shell just like telnet, but everything's encrypted, so it's far more secure than telnet. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 6 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 6 | thanks guys you saved me on that one | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 18 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 18 | to find out more info on telnet you can go to www.happyhacker.org | | |
