Connect Using Telnet
I know, I know, no one uses telnet anymore, but I need to know how to use it either way. I'm using a Win 7 and Vista. I installed Telnet client and server on both using "programs and features", and I enable it using services.
I've tried may different ways, but the way I got closest to connecting(was prompted for username/password) is from the telnet command line I entered "open "ip address"" and the ip I got was from ipconfig from the Vista. And all I get is could not open connection host, on port 23: connection failed.
I have 4 computers, 2 running on Win 7, one on Vista with a dual boot of XP Pro and the other is my main computer(yes, it's a mac). But none of that matters, a pc can connect to another pc using telnet server/client...right?
What am I doing wrong(and don't say using a mac...I got that before)
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
