Enabling Telnet on Windows Vista / Windows 7

[AD8BC]

I was trying to telnet into my ISY and was having difficulties with Windows Vista not knowing how to Telnet. Turns out telnetting is disabled by default in Vista.

 

Here is an excellent place to learn how to turn it on:

Thank you for the information. With Vista being shipped on almost all new computers. This will be a big help.

AD8BC,

 

Thanks so very much. I shall make this topic into a sticky as I am sure most people will find useful.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

I also added it to the Wiki in the Telnet To Your ISY how to.

The same applies to Windows 7.

I've always preferred to use PuTTY with Windows.

 

PuTTY is open source and supports telnet, SSH and serial port.

io_guy,

 

I love putty ... it's a life saver especially when dealing with SSH.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Quicker than the link, in a command shell:

 

pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient"
