In Windows XP/2003 and other operating systems, you can use the remote assistance and remote desktop functions to achieve remote control. In addition, some third-party software can also be remotely controlled, but these graphical interfaces mean more time and increase the probability of network data transmission interruption for users with low network bandwidth.
In fact, for some simple remote management work, using the Telnet that comes with the Windows XP operating system is a good choice. Here, we use the Windows XP operating system as the client and Windows 2003 as the server for telnet.
Start the Telnet Service
Under normal circumstances, in the Windows 2003 operating system, we can enter the system command prompt environment, enter "Net start Telnet", and press the Enter key to enable the telnet service. However, if the prompt "cannot start the service" appears, it is because the telnet service in the system is not enabled.
Choose Start> Administrative Tools> services, and double-click Telnet in the service list on the right of the Services window ", in the displayed dialog box, you can find that the "Start type" is "disabled", and the "service status" is "STOPPED. We can set the "Startup Type" to "automatic" and click the "Start" button to start the telnet service (figure 1 ).

Telnet connection
On the Win XP client, you can enter the Command Prompt window and enter the Telnet host name (or IP address) port number as required, for example, "Telnet 171.171.151.117 ".
Tip: Some readers may find that I did not enter the port number in the example. This is because the default Telnet Service port number is 23 on the server. If the port number of the service is changed, add the corresponding port number to the command. After entering the information, press enter to log on.
When you log on, a "you are about to send your password to a remote computer in the Internet, which may be insecure. Do you want to send it ?" For security reasons, you can enter "N" to ensure the password security.
In a subsequent logon prompt, you can enter the user name and password assigned by the peer computer after login and password respectively, and then press the Enter key. However, "the user is not a member of the Telnet client group, the cause of this error is that the logon user has not obtained the corresponding management permission.
Go back to the Windows 2003 Server, choose Start> Administrative Tools> Computer Management, select the "user" option in the left-side list, and double-click the logon user name in the window on the right, in the displayed window, click the "affiliated" tab, click the "add" button, select an Administrator group in the "select group" window, and click the "OK" button, this allows the user to have management permissions.
Return to the Win XP Client and follow the Telnet logon steps above to successfully log on (figure 2 ). Now we can remotely control the server and perform simple file operations and remote management in the DOS state.

In section 2000, you can directly configure the telnet service in "Start Menu | program | management tool | Telnet Server Management ".
Use "tlntadmn" on 2003 for related configuration. For specific commands, see the help of this command. That is, tlntadmn /?

FAQ:

Telnet service is always interrupted
Ping on the terminal is successful, but telnet is disconnected after a period of time,
After a while, I got it again. Why?

If there is no data loss during Ping, and sometimes it is interrupted like telnet, you can see,
Is there a conflict between the IP address of another machine in your LAN and the IP address of your server.
