Telnet Connection (General questions)
by B. van der Bij, Thursday, July 06, 2006, 14:46 (6715 days ago)
Have a little problem with connecting to a unix server from windows tried to connect first with windows telnet client only that didn't work so later i tried putty.exe and set the protocol to RAW and protocol adjustment from BSD to RFC1408 and it worked. Now i tried to do it also with WODTelnetDLX and set the protocol to RAW only i think i need to adjust it to RFC1408 to work i am afraid.... can i set this option somewhere?
Thx already,
Bart

Hi Bart,
You even cannot connect to your server, right?
Is there any chance that we can connect to your server and check this out?
If we can please provide me info about server host/login/password and send it to techsupport@weonlydo.com . Your server info will be safe, we will try to connect, find some solution and immediately disconnect.
Anyway you can send us small sample which can duplicate the problem.
Regards,
Alan

Well the problem is not in connecting but when you are connected and type something so get disconnected right away.. got the same problem with putty until i change from BDS to RFC.. maybe it's some kind of compatibility problem with an older standard?... The telnet server is in a private network so you can't connect from the outside.

Bert,
Do you use COM or OCX? If you're using COM, did you try set Blocking Property to True?
Maybe that is the problem, can you try it?
About your second question and older standard. that can be a problem, but I need something to duplicate so we can fix it, if problem come from our side.

Alan

I make use of OCX and try to connect with the sample that is included in the installation file from you're website... samples/vb/activex/simple folder and added these settings:
.port = 10000
.terminalemulation = linuxemulation
.protocol = raw
It returns:
CONNECTED
and when typing
DISCONNECTED

Bart,
there can be 1000 reasons for this to happen. wodTelnetDLX doesn't disconnect by itself - server must have closed the connection. Since there are no any special characters sent in RAW protocol, I am quite sure wodTelnetDLX didn't cause it.
So, there is no way we can blindly figure out why this happens. If you can somehow give us access to the system we could try to see what's wrong, otherwise we can't give you any advices - you'll have to try things on your own.

I never said that wodTelnetDLX disconnected from my server as in my first message i already said that my connection also failed with my telnet clients until i changed from BSD to RFC.... all i wanted to know was if this option could be set anywhere but if it's not then i will search for it further.... the 1000 reasons are actualy one very clear reason BSD - RFC as i swith this option it works or it doesn't but thanks anyway...

Bart,
but it doesn't make sense, I am quite sure. If I look at Putty's settings, changing BSD->RFC is under 'telnet connections' and deals with OLD_ENVIRON telnet setting. You said you use 'Raw' protocol even in Putty ( and in wodTelnetDLX ) so I am sure this is not related to your problem.
Could it be something else? Can you ask your system admin about it? What kind of server/service is it, anyway?
