When I try to connect through telnet from a Windows system to Unix, I am not able to connect. I am getting this log error. Is this related to a firewall issue, or anything I need to mention in the etc\service file?
"Telnet is busy with its port23"
Does that mean that telnet is not properly working, or do I need to mention a different name here?

This looks like a network issue, not a telnet one. Either your Windows firewall (or any other you are using) is blocking telnet, or your router is configured to block it.

you mean NIC card, because ping is working but no telnet,, do we need to check etc\host or service file in such a way that ip address conflicting – steveaston – 2011-10-27T16:36:34.373
NIC card? :S Anyway, try with netcat to open a TCP connection to port 23. – m0skit0 – 2011-10-27T16:45:59.977
may be you are correct we need to think in that way checking firewll or any othere – steveaston – 2011-10-27T16:48:30.707
There's nothing to take care about. OSs do not matter. TCP/IP is transparent about that. – m0skit0 – 2011-10-27T16:47:08.290
