    Telnet Problem

    I have been trying to practice using Telnet.
    The Telnet client and Telnet server are both available in Windows 7.
    I have installed and enabled both of them successfully.
    I am able to start the Telnet client with the telnet command at the command prompt.
    Just for practicing purposes, I want to connect to the Telnet server on my machine.
    When I try I get the following message after putting in the command
    Microsoft Telnet>open namecomputer
    "connecting to namecomputer...could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed"
    Why can't I connect? Is it the Windows based Firewall?

    Is it possible to use the client portion to contact the server portion on the same computer?

    Never mind, I think I found the solution.
    The telnet server service may need to be started with the following command from a command prompt:
    net start telnet

    I will try it again tomorrow and see if I can get a successful connection
