Chris said he can ping the machine, so there must be a route and if routing
is done thro' box1 then box1 has IP_FORWARDING set correctly, otherwise no
packets will be forwarded thro' box1 to any box.
This leads to the following suggestion that box2 is not listning for telnet
connections.
Check /etc/inetd.conf look for the line;
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
make sure it is uncommented.
If /etc/hosts.allow or deny have some sort of rejection for that host, then
one would imagen that a message would be sent to the winbox upon trying a
telnet with something like "Sorry i'm not allowed to talk to you".
What does the box2 system log say after the winbox tryed to telnet to it,
the answer could be in there.
