I'm running red hat 7.1.... mostly because gentoo doesn't run very good gaming servers

otherwise I would be running gentoo for sure!

Anyway, how do I telnet my router? I tried telnet 192.168.20.3 (router's ip) and I got:

Are you using a box with Freesco by chance?

I'm not sure what freesco is...

the router is a linksys, I'm almost positive you can connect to it through telnet.

and if freesco is an ap, then I don't run it

Thanks

Freesco is software you can use to make a linux router, I was checking to see if if was a linux box or a hardware router.

I never telneted to a Linksys router, I used the web admin thingy.

Are you sure the router's ip isn't 192.168.20.1, I think that the Linksys router wants to be the first IP on your network.

the router's ip is 192.168.20.3

I mean to say .20.3, I accidentally put .1

its .20 because there are 19 other networks, so the network my server is on is network 20.

Thanks

try using nmap to see what ports are open on the router.

I don't use linksys routers, but typically you have to explicitly configure telnet as enabled. for example on a cisco router you have to put a password ont the vtty's.

If you can get into the router like you normally do, try grubbing around for some sort of telnet config option

Good Luck

I don't use a Linksys either, but I know someone who has one, and his
administration interface is web-based not telnet-based. If you don't
have access to a browser and the telnet interface isn't enabled, why
not try a text-based web application like lynx or links?

a text based browser would work!

Good thinking, I'll look into it.

I configed my linksys router with httpd. I'm almost certain it has telnet, but maybe its not configured.

Thanks for the replies!

Or, if you've got a unix machine with a gui hiding behind that router, you could use X-forwarding over SSH to get a graphical browser...
