Yep, telnet is disabled on newer versions (versions later to RedHat Linux 7.3), for security reasons. However, We still can install, configure telnet for our own obivious reasons and even we can control the activities. I suggest you decide upon your potential and enable the telnet. If you dont know How to do , let me know again. Your problem is definite because of disability of telnet. Enable it and hang out.

Ping the IP address assigned to the ethernet card on the server (/dev/eth0 ...1, 2, 3...etc.) that you are trying to connect to. If the ping succeeds, you have a good connection. Make sure you have the telnet daemon is running on the server. I don't, I have sshd... the default installs on newer distros don't enable telnet anymore, because it is too insecure. Then, the command 'telnet -l [username] [ethernet card IP address] should ask you for a password. 'username' and 'password' must be known by the server. -- -wittig website: http://www.robertwittig.com/ weblog: http://robertcwittig.blogspot.com/ .
