Cool, now we know what the problem is: Name resolution, more specifically IP->Name resolution. > then how to make in.telnetd do not do a dns reverse lookup? You can't make in.telnetd act as a DNS server. You should be able to add the appropriate lines to /etc/hosts to make it work on your LAN. 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 win2kbox.your.domain win2kbox 192.168.0.X linuxbox.your.domain linuxbox replace "X" with the correct host IP. Make sure your you have hosts.allow setup correctly. I suggest while you are testing it you add: in.telnetd: ALL to /etc/hosts.allow Once you have it working you can substitute "ALL" for a better value. Also check /var/log/daemon and /var/log/syslog for helpfill messages about what is going on. On the whole tho. I suggest that you setup ssh as it is just better than telnet.
