How To Activate Telnet In Windows Xp

how to enable telnet server on XP Pro

• Question

• I've found this in the help, which seems to bespeak that there is a telnet server for Windows XP:

  ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Assist\telnet.chm::/telnetserver_und_conceptstopnode.htm

  (copy the whole line including the ms-its into Internet Explorer, I don't think it will piece of work in anything else but IE, and if you lot're using a dual-boot system with XP as the second Bone, change the C:\ to a d:\)

  Could somebody point me to a walkthrough on how to install and configure it? My google searches keep giving me results for Server 2000, Server 2003, or how to use the Telnet CLIENT in XP to connect to a telnet server.

  If nobody tin find a link, could somebody delight post a walk-through? I can't find any interface for doing so, nor a listing of command line commands to do it the hard way.

  Oh, I know all nigh the weaknesses and limitations of telnet and why it's been replaced with SSH. I'm non concerned about the cleartext passwords as long as the traffic is restricted to the iv-port switch on my home network (192.168.one.0/24 subnet).

• I followed a tutorial for Server 2003 and got it working with Server 2003. I was then able to log in to my XP automobile from the server 2003 virtual car past disabling NTLM authentication using the command "tlntadmn config sec=-NTLM".

  This makes no sense. I oasis't tried to use telnet to log in on anything less than Windows XP Professional. Granted, the method I've been using to attempt to connect is to type "telnet slickswintel" or "telnet 192.168.one.98" (I take hosts files and static IP addresses, at least for the desktops. The laptop uses DHCP, but shares a copy of the hosts file) at the command prompt, but shouldn't the Microsoft Telnet plan know how to use NTLM?

  Is this something to do with the fact that they technically aren't the same user accounts and [probably] don't have the aforementioned SIDs, since they are local auto accounts that just happen to have the same logins and passwords? I'thousand Non using a domain.

• Yes, the trouble went away when I issued the command

  tlntadmn config sec=-NTLM

  as indicated in my last post.

  I created the "TelnetClients" group, added appropriate users, and and so followed this process:

  http://world wide web.petri.co.il/enable_telnet_on_windows_2003.htm

  In one case I issued that command, everything was honkey dorey.

  Oh, XP Home users tin can create the TelnetClients group via

  internet localgroup TelnetClients /add

  then add the users with

  net localgroup TelnetClients UserName1 UserName2 /add together

  where you substitute the actual usernames for UserName1 & UserName2, etc.

  (feel free to marking this equally the answer since I can't mark myself)
