in thread Time out error as I connect to remote desktop server using telnet

hi marto

I typed in command prompt like telnet xx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80

Is this correct one to connect from Server A to Server B using telnet at the command prompt

    You've specified port 80 when connecting. Telnet does not usually run on port 80. Port 80 is typically used for HTTP, telnet typically uses port 23. Either don't specify a port at all or provide the correct one.

    If you're confused by telnet type man telnet at the command prompt.

      hi marto

      I typed in command prompt like telnet xx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 .It shows empty command prompt.In that command prompt title is like C:\ telnet xx.xxx.xxx.xxx after some time it is closed

      If i use another port it shows connection failed error

      how to identify if connection made between two server

        We're now way off topic, this has nothing to do with Perl. As Corion suggests, you either need to go ask your sys/network admin or spend some time learning the basics of how this works.

    This has nothing at all to do with Perl. Please ask your system administrator for advice on how to operate your computer and the servers. They will also know the network parameters.
