How to Enable Telnet Command in Vista
Most of you are familiar with the telnet
command. It is one of the well known Windows IP Utilities. In fact the telnet command
is most important for sending a fake email which i have discussed in my
previous post. If you are using Windows XP the telnet command is available by
default.But if you use Windows Vista the telnet command is disabled by default.
So when you try to use the telnet
command in Windows Vista you get the following error message.
‘telnet’ is not recognized as an
internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
You get this error in Vista because
unlike XP, Vista does not support telnet command by default. So, for this you
have to manually enable/turn on the telnet feature in Vista.
Here’s the step by step procedure to
enable telnet feature (telnet command) in Windows Vista.
1. Goto the Control Panel.
2. Click on the sub heading Uninstall
a program under the main heading Programs.
NOTE: IF you are in the Classic View click on Programs
and Features.
3. Now in the left panel under the Tasks
select the option Turn Windows features on or off.
4. Now a new window opens. In the
new window select the following
Telnet Client
Telnet Server (optional)
Telnet Server (optional)
5. After selecting click on OK.
Now wait for few minutes till the
telnet feature is installed. Once the telnet feature is installed you can goto
the command prompt and use the telnet command. System restart is not
required.
