Access a Win95 box remotely via my linux box. My sister's Win95 is on a roadrunner cable modem. She gave me her IP address but I get an access denied message when I try to telnet in. Her cable support people say I should be able to telnet in. What am I missing? Does she have to have an ftpd running on her box?
There's no telnet server on Win95/98 or NT 4.0 unless her box has been cracked. There's a rudimentary one with the NT resource kit and with Win2000. Oh yeah, it wouldn't be ftpd either, that would most likely be for ftp, right? ;-) She can share some of her directories if you want to copy some files over which really would be a bad idea or she can install one of the remote control programs which would also be a bad idea. But those are options.
