Cannot connect to telnet server
- by BloodPhilia
So, I can't use telnet to connect to any server but it works fine from a different computer. It just says it can't connect. I tried the following things:
Disable firewall and AV protection. (Basically, there was no security feature left online)
Telnet is set to "Trusted" in my AV protection. (Kaspersky Internet Security 2011)
Using Putty to telnet, but apparently Putty's connection is also inhibited. (Says it can't connect to host)
Disabling the telnet client in Control Panel and then re-enabling it. (Windows 7 Ultimate)
hosts file is clean.
Checked for nasties using MBAM and KIS 2011 as well as going though my HijackThis logs, nothing found.
I can connect to the same machines/servers through the web browser, ping, tracert, etc. Only telnet seems to be blocked.
Any other thoughts?
