You don't mention your OS and version.

Have you checked /etc/services? Make sure telnet isn't commented out there.

Also, telnet to localhost (127.0.0.1) on your system to insure telnet is working before looking at your buddy's system. I would also put his IP into your /etc/hosts.allow instead of leaving your system wide open.
