Self telnet not working on server with RHEL 4.0

[ran_sushmi]

I have a problem with not being able to do self telnet on a server with RHEL 4.0. In another server, self telnet is working fine. Self telnet is required for one of our provisioning integrations to work in our application. The output of both the servers is attached:-

1) Working on server with IP 10.10.10.28

I hope, my question is clear.

Please, help in solving the doubt.

Is your password is correct? Have you tried to connect to this server from your 10.10.10.28 system, with the same user i.e. root?

thanks, for your answer. System, 10.10.10.4 is connecting if done from a separate CRT session but when self-telnet is tried from 10.10.10.28 as written earlier, it is not connecting as shown below:-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@JISPSERVER_OLD root]# telnet 10.10.10.4
Trying 10.10.10.4...
Connected to 10.10.10.4 (10.10.10.4).
Escape character is '^]'.
