Telnet problems

[Dutch Mafia-boy.]

I am trying to telnet into my Linux box. I edited the xinetd.d file and said "no" to disable telnet option, I started telnet in the windows services......I'm using port 23 so is there any way to figure out what port my linux box is using for telnet??...that could be it because my linux box is refusing the connection....does anyone know what other config files to check??

I am pretty new to Linux so don't assume that I have something configured....feel free to ask if I have something configured, the way it should appear..ie) the rest of the options in the vinetd.d file for example.

Thanks in advance!

WIndows SUCKS !!

Did you restart xinetd after you edited that file? From a command prompt, as root run, netstat -nat That will give you all the tcp services that are running. Is port 23 among them? Is there a firewall loaded? If so then you'll need to open up tcp port 23.

Hope it helps...
