Solution 4 - Tcp

You can try using Putty (freeware). It is mainly known as a SSH client, but you can use for Telnet login as well

Solution 5 - Tcp

If your Windows 7 machine is a member of an AD, or if you have UAC enabled, or if security policies are in effect, telnet more often than not must be run as an admin. The easiest way to do this is as follows

  1. Create a shortcut that calls cmd.exe

  2. Go to the shortcut's properties

  3. Click on the Advanced button

  4. Check the "Run as an administrator" checkbox

    After these steps you're all set and telnet should work now.
