Telnet connection fails

[Billy Davis]

We have an RH7.2 Server on the same network with a Win2K Client and an SCO Server.  All 3 systems can be successfully pinged from the other systems.  However, when we try to telnet to the RedHat box from the Win2K Client, we get this message:       Could not open a connection to host: Connect failed   When we try to telnet to the RedHat box from the SCO box, we get this message:       Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused   When we try to telnet to the SCO box from the RedHat box, we get a successful login.   We used serviceconf on the RedHat box to enable the telnet server and then rebooted the RedHat box.  However, we notice with the ps -d command, that telnetd is NOT running.   Both hosts.allow and hosts.deny are empty.   What have we missed?   Thanks
