I need to telnet, to localhost. I am on windows.
Once I got the error 'telnet is not recognized...
' I looked online and found that I should do pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient"
.
I did, then telnet localhost
(0r 127.0.0.1
, maybe with a port at the end), I get error:
Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed
.
I added the port to the firewall, disabled the firewall.. run as admin..
Please help me get telnet to work! Thank you.
Did you try using telnet to a separate host entirely? – Tillman32 – 2012-10-11T01:35:24.370
I was able to do what I needed, telnet 127.0.0.1 port (I didn't realize I had to put a space, not colon before the port). Still not sure why port 23 doesn't work... – Thalia – 2012-10-11T02:03:56.000
Oh yeah I could have told you that if you showed us what you were typing! :P Glad you figured it out. – Tillman32 – 2012-10-11T22:09:47.007
1Right... I'm going to mark Richie086's answer (the only answer), since I did not know that I needed to have a telnet SERVER installed locally, I only installed a client. Thank you both. – Thalia – 2012-10-11T22:16:25.597
