(as mentioned in another mail) anyhow it sounds to me like all the problem is, is that you havent started the telnet service on the wondows box your running circle on, - you can test if your windows system is running the telnet service by just telnet'ing to the workstation address without a port number, you should be able to connect with a user/pass thats valid for that system. anyhow, hope this helps. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
