Solve : Trouble connecting with Telnet?

Answer»

Hello everyone... hope all are enjoying the holiday season!

I'm running win7 on my laptop and trying to connect using telnet to the virtual machine on my laptop.  The OS on the virtual machine is XP pro.  Any ideas why this is not happening??  I'm unable to ping either machine from either machine as the request times out.  Any suggestions.

Thanks !

B2  Forgot to say they both have different IP addresses lol; I have the telnet SERVICE started on both my machines as well in case you are wondering.

Thanks,
B2 Also I forgot to mention that both of them are on DHCP and not static.

Thanks,
B2 :0Could you enter the command "route print" at a command prompt and COPY and paste the results here?Hey Rob,

Here it is

B2 I've deleted content from this as it gave my IPlol  I know the other one does but I'm going to renew my IP lol  So if you want the "route print" from the virtual machine I can give it to you too.

That's the bit I needed to see!  You have nothing to fear from revealing your LAN IP address.Cool, cheers Rob.  Here it is.

B2 And could you supplement that with "ipconfig" output from the HOST and VM?  Ta.The Host is

B2 Sorry - I'm still looking for the ROUTING table from the host.  I can see the VM's table and the host's IP6 table only.

I see that you're using a cable modem, so the IP address is actually your WAN address - incorrect assumption on my part.  Feel free to remove it from your posts above, although I still don't consider it to be a particular security risk.  Every script kiddie on the planet already has your IP address.  By the way - is the firewall on the VM allowing incoming telnet (port 23)?No I'm having a problem with that.  I'm getting the following message...

Could not open connection to the host, on port 23
: Connect failed

B2 So try disabling the firewall on the XP VM.  Does that make a difference?
