Adding Telnet client to Windows Vista
A lot of times our customers have called our technical support team asking to troubleshoot email connectivity issues. At such times we normally need to run the telnet command for ports 110 and 25. However, Windows Vista by default does not have the telnet client installed. Follow the steps below to install the Telnet Client on Windows Vista OS.
1. Click Start then select Control Panel.
2. Select Programs.
3. Under Programs and Features, select Turn Windows features on or off.
4. Select the Telnet Client option.
5. Click OK.
6. A dialog box will appear to confirm installation. It will take a few minutes before the telnet client is configured on the machine. The telnet command should now be available.
To run the telnet command do the following:
Press the Windows Key+ R. This is the short run from Start -> Run on Windows XP machines. Then type telnet mail.yourdomain.com 25 in order to troubleshoot SMTP issues or telnet mail.yourdomain.com 110 to troubleshoot POP related issues.
