I did this too... I apologize if this was already answered... There is a server telnet package you need to install in addition to the default installation of the client telnet program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Richard G.

I installed 6.1 (from the downloaded ISO image) on a computer (P200 with 32 megs RAM, 2 gig hard drive, WD ethernet card) using the "server" choice and the machine won't accept an inbound telnet connection. The connection is refused before it even offers a login prompt, whether I try from the console or over the local lan. I can ping the server fine over the lan. If I install Mandrake 6.0 (from the McMillan disk) using hte "server" option on the same hardware, telnet works fine. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
