Perhaps inetd is not running (I believe it doesn't start at boot time when you
set the security to medium or high). Check if it's running:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd status
If it says it's not running, add it to your system V init scripts (using the
SysV init editor found in your start menu under "'system" I believe).
ps: it might be nice if you read some info on the System V init script workings
before you start meddling with it.

Unix IS user-friendly. It's just not ignorant-friendly
or idiot-friendly.
