I want to be a Telnet Server, but i couldn't troubleshooting that why other computer on my LAN couldn't connect to me. I went these same steps on other computers but there were no problems to connect them and i can telnet to them.
1) i turned Telnet Client
and Telnet Server
features from "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features"
2) then i enabled TELNET
service from Services.msc and set that to Automatic.
3) also i enabled Telnet Server option from "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Firewal\Advanced settings (Inbound Rules)" and allowed the connection.
4) so i started Telnet Server service from CMD using "net start telnet"
then i tried to connect my Telnet Server from other LAN Computers. but it said:
Connecting To 192.168.1.103...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23:
Connect failed
How can i Fix this problem ?
I'm using Windows 7 and Avast! Anti-virus and Avast! internet security.
note: I did these same steps on another LAN computers , so i could connect to them.
can you try
netstat -n -l
incmd
to see if you listen on port 23? – mirkobrankovic – 2013-07-02T11:37:16.950The parameter " -l " not working. i can connect to my telnet server using this computer, but others can not connect ! also i scanned from other computers and i find out that 23 port is not Actived (or allowed) . – Amirreza Nasiri – 2013-07-02T11:44:27.087

I strongly suggest not using Telnet, even if it is only in the LAN – the Windows Telnet server is also not maintained anymore, so third-party alternatives like WinSSHD may be more reliable as well.

@AmirrezA_Nasiri: I was not talking only about security. – user1686 – 2013-07-02T13:04:17.177
