RE: Telnet dropped

["simon" <simon.chan () netguard bz>]

Hi Brian,

there's several possibility.

Let's assume the other end doesn't have a firewall, Try to trace route and
ping the target host.

If it's ok, then it's possibility that the target host has some sort of
host filtering configured to
block out unauthorised ip or the telnet service is not started.

If there's a firewall, check with the other end to see if it's opened.

tks.
