Cannot Telnet

[Mamidela]

Hi,
I'm not able to telnet to my server and from server to any host. Verified /etc/services and Telnet is configured and inetd daemon is running.

Pl help in resolving this issue.

Thanks,
J

Did you check /etc/inetd.conf ?
Can you telnet to localhost?
Try:
# telnet localhost
Is there some kind of firewall between user machines and server?

Are you able to say exactly what you did, and
exactly what happened when you did it?

hi,
- check your ethernet card, good or bad, or it is recomended?
- check your utp cable by LAN Tester.
- ping your server ip from it's root
- if you use alpha server model, please type this command in prompt P0>> show device
and then you will see type of your ethernet card device, then type command like this (if your ethernet card device ewa0 ==> P00>>show ewa0_mode, see the output of this command, change ethernet mode connect to fastFD, twisted pair..... we see the option if type this command : set ewa0_mode blabla....
so adjust your ethernet card connection type. i hope this help you.
-check your ip address, used by another server or not.
