Computer telnet from Solaris to Solaris and telnet from PC to Solaris

I have got a problem here. I reload Solaris 2.6 OS into my SunUltra1 and 2 machine, and update the latest patches downloaded from http://www.sunsolve.sun.com.

Sun Machine
----------------
Everything is fine, the system is on my network and user can log in and start with their application remotely from my NFS.

But when I want to telnet to another machine using the terminal window, I have this message

Code:
jennifer_istanbul11>telnet istanbul12
passwd: (my passwd)
Not on system console
jennifer_istanbul11

All my new loaded machine with hostname istanbul?? have theis problem, wherelse my NFS (fsisun-2) has no problem.

PC Machine (1)
-------------------
Code:
Start > Accessories > telnet  
Connect > xxx.xx.xxx.xx 
SunOS 5.6
Login : (xxxx)
password : (xxxx)
Not on system console

PC Machine (2)
-------------------
From MS-Dos Prompt

Code:
C:\>telnet xxx.xx.xxx.xx

The telnet windows appears

Code:
SunOS 5.6
Login : (xxxx)
password : (xxxx)
Not on system console


Can anyone advise me what should do?

Thanks

Take a look at /etc/default/login. There's a line:

CONSOLE=/dev/console

This allows root user to log in only in the console. If your UID is 0, maybe you can have this problem. Comment out this line and test it. Tell me if that works.
