Problem with telnet

[Painkiller]

I have a problem with my telnet on w2k with service pack 2, when i try to connect with any internet address(the which i have access permitions) the program still trying to connect to the address as this :
connecting to 172.22.53.452......

and don't pass nothing more..Any suggestion?

Thanx

Why does that IP Address have a 452 in it? IP's only go from 0 to 255...maybe thats a problem. I doubt that IP address really exhists.

No, does address not exist, is just for say something

[7ate9]

Oh, so no matter what address you type in to telnet, it just hangs on "Connecting to x.x.x.x ....." ?
Just to make sure, and this may be a dumb question, but you are using the correct format right? Should be...

Telnet [space] [IP Address or Server Name] [space] [Port Number]

Try useing PuTTY as your telnet client it a superior product in comparison to Microsoft's built in telnet client. THe only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't log.

Hi,

I need putty very much because of it's ssh capabillities.
I am lucky to have not Your problems...
when even putty fails, it seems to be a security issue or a general network layer issue.
to come nearer, try ftp to an authorizable connection and try smb (windows share) functionality.
Sorry for having no better idea.
