Forum:Telnet problem

hi i have enabled telnet on the inetd.conf file but when i try to connect the result is an error message ':applet not found' and then 'connection to host lost'. What is the problem? Many thanks 87.20.44.235 13:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Sps
 * I have never seen this. What telnet program are you using?  On which operating system?  Applets is a java term, so maybe you are running the java telnet instead of the Microsoft telnet. You could also try PuTTY, which is free.  Are you trying to connect using SSH, which is the default PuTTY?  If so, you need to switch to Telnet because SSH isn't supported on the ScreenPlay...yet. --JCoug 22:04, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Os is Windows Vista, and i try with the vista telnet, with teraterm and with putty. Result is always the same: with putty i see a 'telnetd: applet not found' on the windows and in the log file. (Note: this happens after the upgrade to version 1.8; before its runs ok)

 * Very odd. I'm not sure what is different about your setup.  Check the version of the screenplay firmware to confirm that it is R1.8.  What editor did you modify the inetd.conf file with?  If it converted the linefeeds to CR/LF, I could see that potentially happening.  Cut and paste your inetd.conf file to this forum and we'll take a look and see if there is anything obvious.  Or if you will host it somewhere (like box.net) then upload the actual file.  That's really the only thing that could have changed, since telnet is in the busybox application, which hasn't been updated in R1.0 - R1.8.  Also, which method did you use to enable telnet (two are documented on the wiki)? --JCoug 21:51, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for help: the editor i used to edit the file, has converted the linefeeds to CR/LF.
 * Now is all ok! Many thanks --79.2.41.163 21:03, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Sps
