Is the Telnet service running? Most people have it disabled for security
reasons. Does your firewall or router block the Telnet port (23, I
believe)?

Why are you trying to use telnet?

 

[andrew_Playford]

because i want to access my shell account but it wont connect to an
thing, my firewall isnt blocking it coz i have disabled that an
Telnet is set up properly... damm windows never had no trouble wit
Linux!
