Hello. I'm Ben from Dependable Computer Guys. We are frequently
asked how to enable Telnet in Windows Vista, Server 2008 and
Windows 7. It has been removed by default and it is a common tool
for testing network connectivity to mail servers and other protocols.
The reason you may want to enable telnet in Windows is for
administration of routers, switches, and connecting to remote
computers. Today I am going to show you how to enable it.
You start by clicking your start menu, and then "Run". Type
"appwiz.cpl" into the textbox and click on "OK". This will bring up the
program and features window. On the left side, you want to select
"Turn a Windows Feature On or Off" which brings up the server
manager. You can scroll down and select "Add Features" from the
Features Summary List. In the list, scroll down and locate "Telnet
Client". Once selected it, click on "Next" and then finally "Install".
The install process my take several minutes depending on your
hardware, so be patient. Once the install completes, click "Finish".
Then click on Start, "Run" once again, type "cmd" and press enter to
pull up a command prompt. You can then type in "telnet", followed by
the server's name or IP address and the port number you would like to
test and hit enter to run the program.
For example, a mail server would look like: "telnet 72.172.83.23 25"
It will then return the response from the mail server and you will be
able to enter commands to send mail.
I hope you've found this tutorial helpful. If you have any server or
