can you telnet from your W2k to your Sun box???
if you cant' then you have a problem with your telnet setup in which case you should check your /etc/services file for Telnet services and then do a #ps -ef |grep telnet and look for a process called in.telnetd ...but if you can then i would try this>>>
well the first thing i would check is to see if the CONSOLE line in the /etc/default/login is commented out or not.
# vi /etc/default/login
CONSOLE=/dev/console
is the line you are looking for and you would want to put a # sign in front of it.
#CONSOLE=/dev/console
this will allow connection to the box from remote locations.
this line tells the system that you must login at the console

rxtelnet
RXTELNET(1) BSD General Commands Manual RXTELNET(1)
NAME
rxtelnet -- start a telnet and forward X-connections.
SYNOPSIS
rxtelnet [-l username] [-k] [-t telnet_args] [-x xterm_args] [-K kx_args] [-w term_emulator] [-b telnet_program] [-n] [-v] host [port]
DESCRIPTION
The rxtelnet program starts an xterm window with a telnet to host host. From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be
able to connect securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default.
If setting up the X forwarding failes, rxtelnet will still telnet in to the remote host, but without X forwarding.
The supported options are:
-l Log in on the remote host as user username.
-k Disables keep-alives.
-t Send telnet_args as arguments to telnet.
-x Send xterm_args as arguments to xterm.
-X Send kx_args as arguments to kx.
-w Use term_emulator instead of xterm.
-b Use telnet_program instead of telnet.
-n Do not start any terminal emulator.
-v Be verbose.
EXAMPLE
To login from host foo (where your display is) to host bar, you might do the following.
1. On foo: rxtelnet bar
2. You will get a new window with a telnet to bar. In this window you will be able to start X clients.
