I have recently connected my workstation to an ethernet network. I can ftp
from remote computers to my workstation, but I cannot telnet. I have read
documentation extensively, but cannot seem to find the problem. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

no www.de.debian.org/dists. You can try with your browser and see for yourself.
Maybe you can verify if this is indeed the problem by using
