    Is your telnet daemon running?
    Code:
    nmap localhost
    Otherwise you will want to edit /etc/inetd.conf, look for this:
    Code:
    cat /etc/inetd.conf|grep telnet
    If telnet is commented out (has a '#' sign), then uncomment it and restart the inetd daemon.



    But, you might also want to consider running ssh rather than telnet. You can install PuTTY on Windows, and run SSH on Linux. This works very well and is a LOT more secure.
