telnet

i am getting the error when i connect through telnet.

[root@hari root]# telnet
telnet> open 192.168.1.81
Trying 192.168.1.81...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.81: Connection refused

when i check with chkconfig it is telling telnet is on.

How can i rectify this error. Previously it was working fine.

are you behind a firewall? but can I ask why you want to use telnet? ssh seems to be a much better choice...

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.81 port 22: Connection refused

mmm... confusing indeed, are you sure you don't have any issues with your connection (proxy...) ?
Best,
A.
edit: also did you try to use telnet (or ssh) to connect to another server? can be just down...

oh ok that's different and it is *your* server. from what i understand telnet/ssh are not guilty but you have to configure something in your server...
By the way, did you already manage to connect to this server or it is a first time setup?
well... I am not an expert at all on that and I dont think I will be able to help you actually, sorry, I hope someone else is going to come...
Good Luck!
A.

are you sure that telnet and ssh services are running in your server? I mean in the computer that you want to connect.
please check , check the network connection and try again.

Hope it can help you

Hello,

It means telnet is working normally. If between you computer and 192.168.1.81 there is not firewall
then there is no raison to fall. Please try also ftp and sftp and give the result.
Normally with sftp and ssh the connection is possible even behind a strong firewall.

Sorry, I don't know what can be your problem. Please, from another computer, try also to connect you present computer with telnet and see what can be the result.

Hope you would find the solution.

Regards

Frank

Hi hariiyer my name is Imran

what I have came to know is that only two things can occur either you telnet service is not running correctly or your firewall is blocking it confirm these two things by yourself and also try to telnet by sitting on the server to whom you wanna telnet from another server
i.e; telnet localhost
and tell me the results.
