Hi
I am running Windows XP Home. When I launch a program requiring Telnet, it
tells me that there is no such service.
When I check the list of services in Administrative tools, Telnet is not
loaded and I don't know how to.
When I go to the command line and do net start tlntsvr, it reports that this
service is not configured.
This is crazy! How can you accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Why would you want to load the Telnet server service (Daemon)

You can't execute:

telnet address port_number
 
Hi,

IIRC, telnet is not included in WinXP Home. You would need Pro for that.

I'm not sure what you mean but you "launch a program requiring
Telnet". When I want to use it, I send it an address like this:
telnet://serion.thebbs.org/

Clicking the above should start telnet. If it doesn't it might be
disabled in your configuration.

In any event, MS's telnet is not very good. I recommend Zoc.

Oh really? XP Home user and I just clicked the link in my other post
and Telnet started.
 
Hi Paul,

Sure that works, but that doesn't mean the telnet service is installed. That
is supported on the other end. Click start/run, type cmd and click ok. Run
'net start tlntsvr' and see what happens.
