Dear Sanvir,
Try and telnet to localhost (this machine in question) or do a ping to
itself. This test is done to check whether TCP/IP has been properly
installed on the system. If it fails the test then TCP/IP is not installed
properly on the system.
You being able to telnet other machines is happening because your telnet
client is ok (Client/Server).
Another possibility is to check the /etc/services files about the port no at
which telnet is listening to. By default it is 25.
also telnet urself the following way
------------- telnet localhost 25
This should be able to help us in identifying where the problem lies.
try it and let me know the outcome.
Regards,
Vikas.
