please guysm i need to use telnet on vista, how do i do it?

From Control panel,go to programs and features and then "turn windows feautures on or off".In the list that comes up check TELNET client and wait for the prompt.

Ur telnet will be activated after some minutes.I can be reached on 0805-464-2265 if d need arises.

You have be more clearer. Do you want to run a telnet server or you want to connect to a telnet server.

To run a telnet server on windows

Install and activate the Telnet service/daemon on windows


Running a telnet client

Once your telnet server is up and running, it listens on port 23. Simply connect to port 23

i.e. telnet xx.xx.xx.xx 23 where (xx.xx.xx.xx is the telnet server IP address)

He just wrote that he wants Telnet (client and server) on Vista simple.

Omonoba has said it all. But you can activate Telnet server as well.

thanks guys for the reply. it worked

Telnet is a simple yet powerful program that allows you to connect to a remote Cisco router or switch, and then configure it as though you were right at the console. Telnet is also one of those features that seems so very simple, until you get asked a half dozen questions about it on your CCNA exams. As with all topics, it's the details you know about Telnet that will help you pass the Intro and ICND exams.

Let's take a look at a few of these details. We'll begin by debunking one common belief about Telnet:

Telnet runs at layer 7 of the OSI model, not layer 3!

It's easy to think that Telnet runs at Layer 3 of the OSI model, the Network layer. After all, you're entering an IP address when you telnet in to a router or switch, and you may be on another router when you do it! None of that matters. Layer 3 is strictly the domain of routing. Like other features that require input from the end user, especially authentication, Telnet runs at the Application layer of the OSI model.

Speaking of authentication....

Cisco routers require a password to be set before anyone can telnet in.

Cisco routers can run quite a few passwords. We can set an enable password, an enable secret, an enable secret and enable password, a password for PPP connections, and even a console password.

All of those are optional, but the telnet password is not. Makes sense - you wouldn't want just anyone telnetting into your router, would you?
