I'm using Windows 2000 Pro, Build 2195, SP1, and when I try to use telnet (either the included client, or PuTTY), I can connect to the host, enter the username, but when I try to enter a password, nothing happens. Nothing types into the field.

That's usually normal on some places one will telnet into. If you've ever telneted into a pop account, the same thing happens. You can be assured though that there's characters making it ot the remote computer though.

A lot of time, if something was displayed before, finding the correct terminal emulation can cure this.
