do you get a login prompt? if you do then you are typing in the username and or password wrong or trying to login as root. if you dont get a login prompt, and get a message like "Connection closed by foreign host" then you have to add your ip address to the /etc/hosts.allow file on the server. if you get a message "Connection refused" then you either need to make sure inetd is running (ps ax | grep inetd) or make sure port 23 is not being blocked by some type of firewall.

HI List: Every time that I try to connect to the Telnet server of my SuSE 7.2 box I get disconnected inmediately. I don't know why it apears to connect me and reject the connection inmediately (the error is "connection terminated by host..") in just one second or less. Know somebody what can be happen or can tell me where look for configuration errors? Thanks in advance. Martin.
