I need to telnet, to localhost. I am on windows.

Once I got the error 'telnet is not recognized...' I looked online and found that I should do pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient".

I did, then telnet localhost (0r 127.0.0.1, maybe with a port at the end), I get error:

Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed.

I added the port to the firewall, disabled the firewall.. run as admin..

Please help me get telnet to work! Thank you.
