Problem with telnet
 
Hi,

I have a LINUX machine called machine-B. As I use the telnet to connect the machine-A as follow:

telnet machine-A 7080

It take very long and no result returen. I think maybe I have to configue the hosts.allow?

There are a lot of possibilities, can you tell us what the application is you're trying to connect to ?

Can you ping each device from the other?

telnet machine-A 7080

I hope you mean telnet boxname:7080 or do you mean the name of the computer is really machine-a 7080?

I'd just start telnet. Then I'd use open to the ip address of that box.

Ping may or may not work but it can't hurt to try. How do you resolve names on your lan, hosts file?

The telnet syntax doesn’t need a colon to specify the port. So the initial syntax was correct.
