Can't connect to Synology with Telnet or SSH

0

Despite enabling the service on my DS107e I have been unable to connect to it with Telnet or SSH. Telnet gives me the following:

Connecting To 192.168.0.4...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Solution:

The Synology has an internal Firewall function. So, as well as turning on the Telnet (and/or SSH) the access through the firewall needs to be enabled. This is done by accessing the firewall settings on the control panel. Hopefully this will help someone!

can you ping 192.168.0.4? does SSH give you the same 'could not connect to port' message? – Frank Thomas – 2013-05-10T20:50:23.880

It wouldn't ping and I got the same message with SSH. However, see my solution above; something that I didn't find in any of the tutorials I found. – Jamie – 2013-05-13T20:51:44.273
