Three Networks:

  1. 10.1.1.0 - Mine
  2. 172.1.1.0 - My Branch Office
  3. 172.2.2.0 - My Branch Office's VOIP VLAN.

My PC is on 10.1.1.0. I need to telnet into a Cisco router on 172.2.2.0. The 10.1.1.0 network has no routes to 172.2.2.0, but a VPN connects 10.1.1.0 to 172.1.1.0. Traffic on 172.1.1.0 can route to 172.2.2.0.

All PCs on 172.1.1.0 are running Windows XP. Without disrupting anyone using those PCs, I want to open a telnet session from one of those PCs to the router on 172.2.2.0.

I've tried the following:

psexec.exe \\branchpc telnet 172.2.2.1


psexec.exe \\branchpc cmd.exe
telnet 172.2.2.1


psexec.exe \\branchpc -c plink -telnet 172.2.2.1

Methods 1 and 2 both failed because telnet.exe is not usable over psexec. Method 3 actually succeeded in creating the connection, but I cannot login because the session registers my carriage return twice. My password is always blank because at the "Username:" prompt I'm effectively typing: Routeruser[ENTER][ENTER]

It's probably time to deploy WinRM...

Does anyone know of any other alternatives?

Does anyone know how I can fix plink.exe so it only receives one carriage return when I use it over psexec?

    Some wireless access points are acting a little weird, so I want to reboot them every couple of hours.
