  What ports are open? tcp port 23 is telnet, tcp port 22 is ssh, you'll 
see a few others.

  telnet 127.0.0.1 <port> - you'll get a telnet login for telnet and an 
ID string for ssh - this is how you tell if the daemon is behaving on 
the machine itself. If this works and remotes can't touch it you have a 
firewall problem.


  It isn't surprising that telnet doesn't work as no one has used that 
since ssh became available. Try ssh <machine IP> and you'll likely get 
somewhere.
