Guest denise Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I recieved a computer that came with the Vista OPS and was replaced with XP for whatever reason I have no telnet capabilities. When I try to telnet I recieve an error on the IE7 page stating that the device or protocol is not on my system. I do have Telnet on the system just no .exe file. Any suggestions? Thank you if you can help me. -- Denise

Should be in the system32 folder, and your search may include one found in the i386 or a service pack folder. Open a command prompt (Start, Run, cmd, click OK) and type path and press Enter. Is c:\windows\system32 listed? Open your services (Start, Run, services.msc, click OK) and scroll down to Telnet. Is the service started? You may have to change it from Manual to Automatic depending on what you're trying to do. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

You need telnet.exe to get out. Have you tried hitting the start-> run command and typing in telnet <enter>? You said that Explorer gave you an error, I've only used telnet from the command line and not as part of explorer. So I would advise the above action.

The service isn't for everything, only for incoming. I need to know the other info also. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.
