How to fix: Access Denied: Specified user is not a member of TelnetClients groups?

I have two computers one running windows xp(professional) and other is windows 7(Home premium).I want to connect from xp to windows 7, but I am getting error like this

Access Denied: Specified user is not a member of TelnetClients groups.The server administrator must add this user to above group.

I searched in the net that I have to change the local security settings. I changed the
Network access:Sharing and security model for local accounts value from guest only to classic in windows xp but I did not found this option in my windows 7 home premium. So what should I do? Is that not possible to connect to windows 7 home premium using telnet beacause remote desktop connection is also not possible in home premium.

Ensure telnet is enabled on both ends, check to see that the port(s) you are trying to connect to are open, ensure the user account has the correct permissions. – jmreicha – 2012-06-21T13:41:56.183

don't have win7 in fromt of me , but i checked google for that option in windows 7, and maybe home premium doesn't have it, as you suggest. but have you checked Computer Configuration --- Windows Settings --- Security Settings --- Local Policies --- Security Options, Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts – barlop – 2012-06-21T13:46:14.040

I am talking about win7 home premium. the option you are talking about may be avaiable on other versions. – Deb – 2012-06-21T13:55:18.200

Any particular reason you're using Telnet? Why not RDP? – Iszi – 2012-06-21T16:18:07.290

Here's how to use the telnet server on Windows 7 (Home Premium). After you've installed the telnet server, and turned on the telnet service, you have to add users to the TelnetClients group. The problem is that the snapin to do this is disabled in Home Premium. But you can still do this from the command line:

Open a command prompt using "Run as administrator"
Enter the following command: net localgroup TelnetClients /add [username]
You should see:

The command completed successfully.
To verify, run this command: net localgroup TelnetClients
You should see the account listed as a Member of the TelnetClients group.

On the windows 7 computer (aka Telnet-server) add the desired user to the TelnetClients group like so:

Right click 'Computer' > 'Manage' > 'System Tools' > 'Local Users and Groups' > 'Groups' > double click 'TelnetClients' > 'Add' and then add the user you want to have access.

Remember you have to login with a username/password from the Windows 7 computer, even when connecting from the xp computer.
