Answer 1

you probably can't do anything - telnet may not have been running on the host machine or it's firewall may have started blocking it - check your firewall is letting it through as well

Answer 2

TelStar is a lean and quick telnet client for Windows 95 and up. It supports and displays visual attributes such as bold, dim, blink, underline, italic, double-width and double-height, and colors. The software supports ansi, scoansi, vt100, vt220, and wyse60 emulations. In addition you can "clone" existing emulations to create customized versions. Numerous options can be specified on the "command-line" when setting up shortcuts, so you can create icons on your desktop specifying different hosts, screen sizes, term emulations, window titles, whether to auto-connect, whether to auto-close on disconnect, etc. Features also include menu-selected tiling of open connections, double-clicking to open a new connection, true pass-through aux print (without eating the escape sequences), and prompted verification if you attempt to close the session other than by logging off.

Answer 3

Make sure that a telnet server is running on the destination host. If there's no telnet server therere, you won't connect.

Answer 4

you have to make sure the host accepts connections on this port. another option is that the connection is blocked, either by your ISP, or your firewall, or something else.
