When I try to use telnet feature in Vista, I couldn’t use it. After scrolling through Microsoft help, I learn that you need to enable it in Vista first.

Go to Start –>> Control Panel –>> Programs and features –>> Turn Windows features on or off

After that, check Telnet Client and click ok.

That’s it. You can use telnet in Vista from Run command or Command prompt now.

Thanks very much, this was a useful tip. Can’t believe it isn’t enabled in Vista by default! That seems kinda kooky.

start->run “telnet”
start->run “telnet”
start->run “telnet”
WTF!?
yep, was not expecting the telnet client to be disabled by default.

It’s not disabled, it’s just not installed. There’s a difference.

Didn’t work for me — just locks up doing nothing [not even an indeterminate progress bar, just an empty one for 15 minutes till I kill the process]. Luckily, PuTTYtel works, so this isn’t too bad.

Any suggestions on what to do if you go to “Turn Windows features on or off” and no list shows up?
