Mr. Error,
I did not see anyone reply to this, so here's my stab...
I am fairly sure your problem is due to a misconfigured /etc/resolv.conf
file. IOW, DNS is messed up and telnet is timing out.
I'm at work so I can't look at my box, but try putting
search <your isp domain name>
nameserver <your isp nameserver ip>
nameserver <your isp nameserver ip>
in the file and see what happens.
I had this exact problem years ago but the tiny details escape me.
HTH and have a good day! :-)
Steve.
