Do you have a telnet server running on the linux machine?

Grab yourself a copy of putty

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

and you'll be able to ssh from the windows box to your linux box.

Always use ssh, never use telnet. Telnet sends passwords in clear text (unencrypted) over the internet. In other words, Telnet is bad. I use Putty (such as
Cuthbert recommended) to access the ssh server on my linux box.

WinSCP is another good free program you may want to look at, especially if you want to transfer files from the Lin box to the Win box without having to set up an ftp server :
