Title: Problem: Telnet from SME to W2K
Post by: Hugo on May 15, 2002, 03:20:26 AM

Hi everybody,

I want to admin my win2K server from a telnet connection from outside my office. To make this come true i firstly have to telnet to the SME box, and from there to the W2K server. I've set up an SME account and enabled the telnet login, so until this point there's no problem.

But whenever i try to telnet from the SME telnet client to the w2k server, after the login prompt appears, characters won't return until i press "Enter". Moreover,  in spite of typing the correct account information (login and password) it won't login to the windows shell.  It's like it freezes and no character will return to my SME console.

Now i want to know if there's something with the SME console configuration to do. The question comes when i indeed can telnet from any windows machine to this w2k server, but not from my sme telnet client.

Any help woul't be highly appreciated,

Thanks a lot in advance

It may be your telnet client. Use putty. The one on windows is a bit weird. its settings are strange. Also i advise you to use SSH into your e-smith box. Putty supports this. Thats my 2 (euro) cents!
