Check if the telnet service is actually running on your machine: do a "netstat -an --inet" and see if port 23 is indeed open. If you have a firewall running, ensure that the firewall isn't blocking your telnet packets from the outside. Try the following as root: ipchains -C input -s <remote-ip> -d <your-ip> -p tcp --sport 1028 --dport 23 -i eth0 See if the packet is accepted or rejected. If it's rejected, you have a problem with your firewall. Also have a look at /var/logs/messages and see if there are any error messages for the telnet daemon.
