I'm configuring a lan where my pc is the only linux machine. There I can telnet other pc's successfully and connect them but they can not telnet on my pc. After trying a message like "trying.. 186.254.20.30 .. connection refused by foriegn host" appears.

How can i know that my telnet server is running properly? If not running, how can i restart it? Please help me.. Thanks..

Hi taufiq,

You've probably got a problem with your xinetd service that is proably stopped or not running at all. you can check this by
$/sbin/service xinetd status (which shud show the status- running with pid (or) stopped)

and can also check thro'

$chkconfig --list to see whether a list of services are listerd under xinetd.

Can you telnet from the linux machine?
# telnet 127.0.0.1

Why not use SSH instead and PuTTy for the
windoze clients.....much better than telnet.
