telnet session

dear experts can i telnet a router having a real ip from remote site . If it is possible then how?

Do you mean "public ip address" when you say real ip? Yes, you can telnet into a router from a remote router if you have ip connectivity between them, no access lists blocking telnet, a password under the vty into which you are telnetting.

On remote router, say, Router1#telnet x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is your real ip)

Thanks, Mak.

Mak I have tried it but i recreive the message "request timed out " and another issue is that when i am sitting on a pc connected to internet throug modem can i use the telnet facility through " start>run" and then type ' telnet x.x.x.x ' . I have also tried it but no success. Does any additional congif is required at pc.

Can you ping the router ip address (where you need to telnet)?

Yes, from the pc you can use the telnet x.x.x.x without any additional configs, again ensure you can ping the x x.x.x.x address first.

Where are you trying to telnet, across a NATed address?

Thanks, Mak.

Looks like telent is blocked or that ip address is going thru a NAT..Pl. make sure that telnet is not blocked..Try to ping it first..Tejal
