Telnet server configuration

Topic

New Reply

Hi

I have activated the Microsoft Telnet Server on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I configured with NTLM authentication.

Now, with a computer with XP Pro SP3, I have written from the pompt command:

Code:

telnet 

but instead of asking the Login, this message appears:

Code:

Microsoft Telnet Client

The escape character is 'Ctrl ++'


You are sending information to a remote computer in the Internet Zone. This may not be secure. Send it anyway? (y/n) y


Telnet server could not log you in using NTLM authentication.
Your password may have expired.
Login using your username and password


Telnet Server is configured to use NTLM authentication only.
Contact your administrator to enable username/password authentication.

Telnet Server has closed the connection


Connection to host lost.

How come? How should I do to make sure that the Login is displayed?

Thanks

Bye

Have you tried it without requiring NTLM Authentication?

I have limited experience with Telnet (I used to have to use it to configure a DSL modem before they all transitioned to HTML configuration) but I never had to configure the authentication. The target put up the login request whenever telnet contact was initiated.

Always create a fresh drive image before making system changes/Windows updates; you may need to start over!

We all have our own reasons for doing the things that we do with our systems; we don't need anyone's approval, and we don't all have to do the same things.

We were all once "Average Users".

I suspect your user account on the XP box is not valid for the W7 machine. You must have an account on the W7 box with appropriate access for the things you want to access via telnet.

p.s what are you trying to do with telnet? It’s old and insecure and we wouldn’t normally use it in a live environment.

The only thing that comes to mind is that the accounts of the two computers are different. So, how do I display the Telnet Login?

The telnet connection serves as emergency connection and, therefore, the Telnet server must always be active and must have the NTLM authentication to have a minimum of security.

Telnet doesn’t have a login, it uses the underlying Windows user ID.

I’d use puTTY and SSH instead of telnet.

So, how do I say to the Telnet server that the IDs of the users of the XP computer have the credentials to log on to Windows 7.

Thanks

I suspect you need to create those users on the Win7 PC and use the same password. In a domain this wouldn’t be an issue, in a stand-alone / workgroup environment you will have great difficulty.
