How to Telnet?

[Si]

To Telnet to another machine at another company, do I just open a command
prompt and type 'telnet (IP address)'

Never done it before.

Thanks

Why not simply try it and see before posting?

It should work, although network configurations may prevent access.

I did not have an IP address to try it and I had to go to a meeting where
they were going to ask about it.

Go to the PC your trying to Telnet to, and get the ip
address, using the cmd shell and typing in ipconfig.
Then try the cmd shell using open telnet (and the ip
address)

Hello
Before you can telnet, you must have the telnet server running on the remote
machine. It can be run from Control Panel ->Administrative
tools->services->telnet.
