you'd need to arrange for the gateway to your lan to forward telnet requests to that particular machine, or connect to the gateway and then connect to the internal machine from there, assuming your gateway is also a firewall i wouldn't personally do that, however the most important thing is that whatever you do you should not be using telnet if you can possibly help it, use ssh instead, it uses port 22 and this is the port that needs to be forwarded, the hows and wherefores of the forwarding itself will depend a bit on your network topology and the os involved if you need a windows prog that can be a ssh client, then i suggest 'putty' it's small and you can run it standalone on a windows box
