Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused. Can someone help? Tks.

1 - Telnet bad - use ssh (download putty for Windows client)
2 - telnet client to Windows telnet server (port 23) uses NTLM
authentication which isn't going to be provided by anything other than
another Windows computer that is registered to the domain. If you look
at the 'dependencies' of the telnet service in Administrative
Tools/Services, you will see the requirement. There may be a way to
disable that in local security policy or in the registry but I don't
know of a way to do that.
