All of these should be run on the server.

Can you telnet to 127.0.0.1?
Can you telnet to the machine's real ip address?
Anything in /etc/hosts.deny?
Is telnet turned on in /etc/services?
Is telnet disabled in /etc/xinet.d?[*]
Does &quot;iptables -L&quot; show a firewall?
Are you using the Kerberos version of telnet?  That may require additional 
configuration.

And finally,

Is there a really, really good reason not to use ssh?

Good luck,

[*] I don't know if there are any versions of telnet that use xinetd, but it

would be a likely candidate and won't take long to check.
