telnet is not good. do not use telnet. use ssh instead. On the redhat box, make sure that ssh is running (ps -ef|grep sshd). If not, try starting it with /etc/init.d/sshd start . If ssh is not installed, grab an RPM and install it. Based on what you say it sounds like RH default firewall rules are at fault again. See my post Re: Telnet connection fails on 4-17 for information on how to *fix* your firewall rules. The same ruleset that blocks telnet connections will most likely block your ssh connections as well.
you can ssh with putty, but you need to choose ssh in the main config window, then in the ssh config window choose version 2.
