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. Craig
