I have installed freebsd 6 on the pc and connect to the LAN. from freebsd box, I can ping other pcs on the LAN and other PCs(Windows XP) can ping freebsd box as well. But I can't telnet to freebsd from other PCs (Windows XP). Also I have tried telnet from freebsd box to itself and also couldn't make connection. Anyone know what problem could be?
Because telnetd has some serious security concerns, FreeBSD has it disabled by default.
Use ssh instead by putting sshd_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf and downloading PuTTY for your Windows systems:
