Hi everyone, I am having this problem for the last few days. Whenever i try to telnet to this particullar computer, the telnet client hangs at the 'connecting to host...' prompt. If i now kill the telnet client and then try to run it again, things work fine.. Also note that this happens across a LAN. Some1 pls explain why this happens with some machines and why it doesn't happen with some machines!!
