a little help?

im trying to write a telnet chat server....and well, im
having trouble testing it from my side.

could someone please test it for me and see if it responds.

go to your start menu/run/

type telnet

you should be at a microsoft telnet prompt (some people
might get a hyperterminal window, if so just quit, i cant
remember the instructions on how to log in through that
thing).

at the prompt type

open 220.244.29.130:4010

what do you get?

but maybe i did it wrong, because i dont know what the
microsoft telnet prompt is supposed to look like. and it
might not have been right.

from linux:

---------
telnet> open 220.244.29.130:4010
telnet: 220.244.29.130:4010: Name or service not known
220.244.29.130:4010: Unknown host
---------

not sure if that's the correct linux syntax or not... but, i
suspect it is

it's not.

from your main command prompt just type:

telnet 220.244.29.130 4010

same as in windows at the command prompt

Trying 220.244.29.130...

refused

oops... left off the colon...

but with it, i get the same error as before

linux:~ # telnet 220.244.29.130:4010
telnet: 220.244.29.130:4010: Name or service not known
220.244.29.130:4010: Unknown host

??

don't type any colons, or even semi-colons.

type this at your 'linux:~#' prompt:

telnet 220.244.29.130 4010

if i'm being unclear you might want to take a look at the
man page for telnet:

man telnet

that's what i typed two posts up.

you're being perfectly clear. it's just the error message i
got when i typed it in like that looked slightly less
correct so i added the colon. but, i believe you. :)

ah, i see. even though you included the '4010' in your
command, the output didn't mention it. got it :)
