Default Problem accessing Linux Server using Telnet from Windows 2000, though PING is working properly from both sides



Hello,
I have recently installed Mandrake Linux 10.1.3 on my PC.
The Linux being a multiuser system, I want to assess the same from
multiple Windows 2000 workstations using telnet.
The problem is that I can't assess it using any of the workstation by
giving the command
telnet 192.168.0.77.
But the Linux server can be PINGed from any of the workstation and
Server can also PING the workstations.
I can see that the network is functional using the network utilization
charts available in Mandrake. Also there is no any error during booting
sequence. Linux can bring up the eth0 interface.
Then what may be the problem?
Please help ASAP.

-Sameer

Telnet protocol is insecure and has been deprecated.

Because telnetd has been disabled on the server.

Different protocol.

Download PuTTY.exe to your winblows box and connect using SSH.

By default, telnet is disabled.
Don't try to enable it.

Google for putty, a 400KB Windows tools that will enable to make an ssh
login into your linux machine.

....
Well, had to verify it, so here it is:

Works for me.

PS: and you can use it to telnet, too. :-)
