What happens when you do try to telnet?

[jns_306]

# telnet <machine name>
Trying <ip address>...
Connected to <machine name>
Escape character is '^]'.

it just hangs out there ..

This is what happens. i am using 3c2000 driver from asus site.

Thanks and regards..

Telnet and ftp are disabled by default in linux, verify under /etc/xinted.d the telnet file and set disable=no if you want to use it. THOUGH i would recommend you to use ssh instead that are using encrypted communications.

It has reason that ftp and telnet are disabled by default, because they are insecure.

I havent used telnet for a long time but IIRC you are connected but it doesnt show output untill you login or something like that.
