Telnet in Windows 7

[Ernest]

Hello,

I'm running the public Windows 7 beta. I'm unable to run the telnet application. Does Windows 7 support telnet? If so, how do get it to work?

thanks fr any help.

It works ok when I add it from the Programs/Features list.

You can just use Putty Telnet for free in the mean time:

Try to add it in Programs and Features. Vista also not installs it by default, you need to enable it.

By default the Telnet client does not come installed on Windows 7. To install it have to do via the control panel.

Installation:
1. Click on Start Menu >> Control Panel >> Programs
2. Click on Turn Windows Features On or Off
3. Mark Telnet Client and click OK
