but when i tried to do the telnet System IP ADDRESS 7 i get nothing....

Is something listening on port 7?

Kind regards

According to /etc/services, port 7 is the 'echo' service.

Not sure why you'd want to telnet to that, but it should be avail on tcp & udp.

My guess is that that will not open your UDP port 7
