Last time I booted my Linux box I could telnet in to it, now I can't. I can
ping it, and I can connect with VNC, so the connection is obviously working,
but when I try telnet it is refused.
Can anyone help me with any basic pointers please?

Go into the mandrake control center, it's likely on your desktop. Then system
services. See if you can find telnetd in there.

Did you recently install any firewalls?

check your /etc/inetd.conf file whether your telnet server is commented out
or not...
otherwise check your hosts.allow and hosts.deny as well as eventually
existing ipchains
