    When you get a message of "connection refused", it
    typically appears when the desired server is not
    running on the host machine. In your case, it is
    possible that telnet server is not running.

    You need to do three things to make telnet work.

    1) Install telnet server. (On a workstation,
    installation of Linux automatically installs telnet
    client. But you have to yourself install telnet
    server).

    2) Change the value of parameter disable from yes to
    no in the file /etc/xinetd/telnet. Note that if you
    have not installed telnet server, this file may not be
    present in the /etc/xinetd directory.

    3) Either reboot or restart xinetd.

    Now your telnet should work.
    Also, as some friends have advised, ssh is more secure
    than telnet.
    bye
