How to Enable Telnet

Telnet is a Protocol and application that can be used to control remote computers in a Local network or over the Internet. Although including a protocol that was very old and less secure, however telnet remains the still widely used to this day. Not the same as Remote Desktop using graphics as it looks, Telnet has only text mode display, and you must use the CLI (command line interface) in the implementation.

The first thing you should do before you enable the telnet service in Windows 8 is ensure that Telnet Server is already installed on the computer that you want to remote (kompter target) and make sure you have installed the Telnet Client on the computer that will perform remote (client computer).

In this article we will assume the target computer (which you wish the remote) has IP Address 10.2.2.2 and computers who want meremote is 10.1.1.1, make sure that you have menyetting IP Address correctly.

To install the Telnet Client and Telnet Server, you can perform through the Control Panel Program > > Program and Feature. And then click Turn Windows features on or off, and then tick check on Telnet Clientatau Telnet Server as in the picture. Then click OK to perform the installation. (sometimes have to restart the computer)

After the installation is complete, move the following things you need to do is run the telnet service on the target computer, from the Run dialog box (Windows + R), type services.msc, who will open the Services MMC.

Then in Service MMC, locate the telnet service, double-click the service, and then change the startup type from Automatic to be Disable, click Apply, and then click Start, and then click OK. Make sure the result as in the picture below.

The next step is to determine which User on the target computer are allowed to Login via Telnet service. For that you need to log in to the Local User and Group, here's how from the Run dialog box (Windows + R) type LUSRMGR. msc, to open the Local Users and Groups MMC.

On Local and Group MMC, click Groups, and then double-click the Telnet Clients group to membukaTelnet Clients Properties, and then click Add, as shown in the image below.

Then type the name of the user who you want to give access to telnet (in Figure assumed at the target computer is the name of a user named admin), and then click Check Names to verify that you're not incorrect typing user name, and then click OK, and click OK again to close the Telnet Clients Properties.

Up here you have finished the configuration on the target computer (the computer that you want to remote). Next to do the testing you could try it from another computer (client computer) and enter the command telnet < target ip address > in command prompt. As in the picture below (assuming the target computer's IP address 10.2.2.2)
