Telnet-Connection to Host Lost

I am running RH v7.2. Every time I connect via telnet, I get the Login and Password prompt, but as soon as it logs in, it fires back a response that "Connection to Host is Lost." I looked in /usr/bin/Setup, and Telnet is running, but Firewall always reads high. When I chnage firewall to medium, and reboot, it still reads high in Setup. Is that my problem? This is a new install, so nothing should be corrupt. Help!

I get a "connection to host lost" when I try to log in using telnet. Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I am very interested in this..
Thanks.
