What is the error message? do you have the w2k ip and name in you host file. Were you able to do this before? I may be mistaken but there is an ftp server you have to setup on a windows box in order to use telnet. Is this service running?? remember all aliases, names resolve back to the ip address so use it first then try using names/aliases.

I have not done this before as far as setting up telnet.I thought it just needed TCP/IP installed in win2k and telnet command from windows 98 to win2k. I only set up user account in win2k so when it asks me for user name and password. Is there anything else i need to install in win2k?

On the win2k computer go to Telnet Server Administration tools select option four to start the service.then try to connect by ip address.

In order to connect the Win 98 client to Win2k Prof the telnet service should be running. you can enable it by going to > Administrative Tools> Telnet Server Administration.

Then a window will pop up, and you can start the service by choosing theoption 4.Try connecting now..
