It looks like some gateway between you and the host you're trying to telnet to is acting as a firewall and blocking the telnet port (23). I believe the "no route to host" error is consistent with that situation. It might also be possible that you're not running telnetd on that host, or that you've disabled access through /etc/hosts.deny or through firewalling rules on the host itself. Some things to try: 1. Verify that the telnet daemon is enabled. In /etc/inetd.conf, this line should not be commented out: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd 2. At least temporarily, set /etc/hosts.allow like this to allow access from any machine: ALL: ALL 3. Check your firewalling rules: $ ipfwadm -Il $ ipfwadm -Ol Look for "deny" rules on the telnet port. Post your results to the list. Good luck.
