So, I can't use telnet to connect to any server but it works fine from a different computer. It just says it can't connect. I tried the following things:

  • Disable firewall and AV protection. (Basically, there was no security feature left online)
  • Telnet is set to "Trusted" in my AV protection. (Kaspersky Internet Security 2011)
  • Using Putty to telnet, but apparently Putty's connection is also inhibited. (Says it can't connect to host)
  • Disabling the telnet client in Control Panel and then re-enabling it. (Windows 7 Ultimate)
  • hosts file is clean.
  • Checked for nasties using MBAM and KIS 2011 as well as going though my HijackThis logs, nothing found.

I can connect to the same machines/servers through the web browser, ping, tracert, etc. Only telnet seems to be blocked.

Any other thoughts?

Luckily there exists a security flaw which lets me login as root through telnet when using port 1111 (without username and password). Now I want to use that to let my QNAP NAS execute the reboot… >>> More
