[ringque]

Am using Fedora 9 and WIN Xp in VM ware. i can log in remotely in linux using SSH but i can't log in using telnet.. am in same network. using putty and i successfully configure telnet and restart xinetd

Do you have iptables running? The iptables firewall could be blocking telnet connections.

To expand on that, type "service iptables stop" and try it again (don't leave it off, just for test). If it works, it is iptables. Also, as telnetd would be run through xinetd run "service xinetd status" and ensure it is running.

Ssh is by default configured
check your setting

# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions
# unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from = 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.2 ..................example

}

!wq
save the file

then restart the
# /etc/xinetd/ restart

or
# service xinetd restart

# chkconfig xinetd on
# ping 192.168.0.1

if you are having still problem then check the network interface card is not configuring properly.

for testing
#ifconfig
if you want to configure the interface card
then the command is
#ifconfig eth0 down
#ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
then check the connectivity
#ping 192.168.0.1.
