I've just done something very similar - replaced RedHat 8 on my LTSP 3 server with Fedora Core 1 and LTSP 4. Getting X working was the usual nightmare of 'which of the 27 config files have I forgotten this time?' but it's all working now.
I too noticed that I couldn't telnet from a ws to the server, but I could use ssh. That was fine for me, so I didn't investigate further :-) Two suggestions: - Try ssh to the IP address rather than the node name - On your server, do System Settings -> Server Settings -> Services, and check that sshd, xinetd, and telnet are running. If not, click on the start button and also tick the check box to make sure they auto-start in future. Good luck - it does all work in the end!
