1st. Don't use telnet. it's not safe.
use ssh, with putty
Download on you xp putty.exe (google it)
the ssh to your linux
if you for some stupid reason want tu use telnet go to:
/etc/xinet.d
find the telnet file. edit is and set disable to no
after that do:
service xinetd restart
but still USE SSH!!

don't use telnet. use ssh. in default install if you allowed it on FW config you can ssh to the box right after first boot...
