If your trying to login as root, that won't happen as it isn't possible.

The Telnet demon is run by root and decides from the Passwd file your permissions once logged in.

As default root cannot login without switching the option in a config file.

First check if the box is listening on port 23.
type: netstat -l | grep telnet

If it says LISTEN then it's running, if not then something is wrong with the demon.

Do you have a FTP server running, if so check you can login using the same login name.
If you get the same error then check your host.deny and host.allow files.

Also check your passwd file has the correct home directory and shell. (not restricted shell)

Can you telnet to it from inside the network? I am assuming that the server is on a LAN behind a firewall and you want to access it from outside the firewall.

If that is the case then just setup the firewall to allow telnetting, although I would setup ssh if you wanted to get in from outside the firewall.
