How to use telnet

#
Step 1

Telnet is a way to connect to another persons pc threw command
prompts such as you would use netstat telnet is diffrent of course
because it is a way to connect not a way to find ips... it is hard
to connect to another pc with telnet because most firewalls will
detect the incomming connection attempt and block it from accessing
the pc you are attempting connection

#
Step 2

To get to telnet you must select start and then run.. once your run
box is up you type in CMD and press ok.. a black command box
will come up then you must type in telnet. so you should have
something that looks like this


Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Client

Escape Character is 'CTRL+]'

Microsoft Telnet>

#
Step 3

Commands may be abbreviated. Supported commands are:

c - close close current connection
d - display display operating parameters
o - open hostname [port] connect to hostname (default port 23).
q - quit exit telnet
set - set set options (type 'set ?' for a list)
sen - send send strings to server
st - status print status information
u - unset unset options (type 'unset ?' for a list)
?/h - help print help information
Microsoft Telnet>

#
Step 4

now if you read the options you will or [should] be able to
understand what each option does for instance we will go with
command o wich is
- open hostname [port] connect to hostname (default port 23).

now when u get to the point that it says telnet

Microsoft Telnet> <--type the command here we will do cmd o as our example
because cmd o is the connect command...
*So if i press o and enter it will look like this

Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Client

Escape Character is 'CTRL+]'

Microsoft Telnet> o
( to ) <---this is were u type the ip address and port you want to connect to
for instance if you want to connect to ip 222.222.222.22 (example ip)
you will put the ip then put a space and put in a port from 1-5000 wich will look
like this

222.222.222.22 23

#
Step 5

i used port 23 because as you can see in the text above 23 is the default port used
however if you cannot connect to the ip you want to connect to on port 23 you
will need to keep trying but change the port you want to connect to such as next
trying port 50 or 63 etc. when u press enter after putting the ip and the port
it should look like this

( to ) 207.177.112.220
Connecting To 222.222.222.22...

#
Step 6

it will take a second to get a valad responce
if you manage to connect to a host you are trying to connect it will say press any
key to continue once you do that you are connected to the pc unless it says
connection to host lost. wich then means it kicked you off but dont give up
keep trying diffrent ports but just remember telnet is hard to get a stable connection
with because most firewalls will detect a connection
