hello,

I have telnet up and running on my Fedora box, I can telnet to myself but I can't telnet from another machine to my computer. Do you know why is that?
While my computer is running Fedora Core, I am trying to connect from Windows MS-DOS command line to my fedora, and it fails. Is that ok to connect from MS-DOS prompt to my Fedora? Can you help me?

Check the software yast to see if you have the telnet server rpm installed.
