Hello everyone... hope all are enjoying the holiday season!
I'm running win7 on my laptop and trying to connect using telnet to the virtual machine on my laptop. The OS on the virtual machine is XP pro. Any ideas why this is not happening?? I'm unable to ping either machine from either machine as the request times out. Any suggestions.
Thanks !

Forgot to say they both have different IP addresses lol; I have the telnet service started on both my machines as well in case you are wondering.
Thanks,
B2 :)

Also I forgot to mention that both of them are on DHCP and not static.
Thanks,

Could you enter the command "route print" at a command prompt and copy and paste the results here?

I've deleted content from this as it gave my IP

lol I know the other one does but I'm going to renew my IP lol So if you want the "route print" from the virtual machine I can give it to you too.

That's the bit I needed to see! You have nothing to fear from revealing your LAN IP address.

Cool, cheers Rob. Here it is.

And could you supplement that with "ipconfig" output from the host and VM? Ta.

Sorry - I'm still looking for the routing table from the host. I can see the VM's table and the host's IP6 table only.
I see that you're using a cable modem, so the IP address is actually your WAN address - incorrect assumption on my part. Feel free to remove it from your posts above, although I still don't consider it to be a particular security risk. Every script kiddie on the planet already has your IP address. ;)
-
By the way - is the firewall on the VM allowing incoming telnet (port 23)?
-
No I'm having a problem with that. I'm getting the following message...
Could not open connection to the host, on port 23
: Connect failed
B2 :)
-
So try disabling the firewall on the XP VM. Does that make a difference?
-
I took the firewall down on both. I'm now getting the message below:
Access Denied: Specified user is not a member of TelnetClients group.
Server administrator must add this user to the above group.
Telnet Server has closed the connection
Connection to host lost.
B2 :)
-
Well that's pretty straightforward - whichever username you're connecting with, make sure it's a member of that group (or an Administrator).
I'd switch the firewall back on, on the XP VM by the way and just make sure you're allowing incoming port 23 connections.
-
It's windows 7 home premium I'm using on the laptop. I tried adding the the local users and groups snap in through mmc.exe and it says it's not valid to be used in this version of windows. I take it this is a problem then; as I won't be able to add a group with users ??
B2 :)
-
The error is coming from the XP virtual machine, no?
-
The Telnet client isn't installed by default on Windows 7. Did you install it?
Why are you using Telnet if you don't know that a local IP is of no consequence privacy-wise? Why not just use remote desktop protocol?
-
The error is coming from the XP virtual machine, no?
Yup, the error is on the XP VM.
-
Yup, the error is on the XP VM.
So why are you attempting to edit the W7 users/groups? ???
-
I tried editing on the Win 7 because I was checking for connectivity in both directions. So I thought maybe if I changed the user/local groups policy in win 7 the vm might connect to this system... as the last error was me trying to connect from vm to the host system. Connecting from the host system to the vm I still only have the
Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed
Sorry for any confusion.
B2 :)

Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed
I thought we'd eliminated this by opening the XP firewall?
-
Hey Rob.
Sorry for the mega late reply. Yeah once the firewall was down I got a reply. I'll have to revisit this one soon me things as I'm doing a cisco course at night as well as my college during the day. Had a few personal probs also, so again I'm really sorry for the late response. I'll prob need your help in the future with this one lolz.
I'm going to put this one on hold for the time being though; as things are getting a bit hectic with college and stuff, so all my time is there at the mo.
Thanks again!!
B2 :)
-
No problem. Whenever you're ready.
-
I might be completely off here...
But Windows 7 is using IPv6 ... Windows XP doesn't do IPv6 as standard does it?
-
I think the problem here is the firewall, rather than the routing protocol. The hypervisor will almost certainly be routing IPv4 in both directions.
