    Tutorial - How to enable the default Telnet client in Windows 7

    If like me you prefer not to have to install a third party Telnet client into your windows 7 setup but cant figure out how to get the default client working then this is for you.

    While Windows 7 does come with a default Telnet client it is not activated by default, however the process to activate the Telnet client in Windows 7 could not be more simple as follows.

    > Start
    > Control Panel
    > Programs And Features
    > Turn Windows features on or off
    > Check Telnet Client
    > Hit OK

    After that you can start Telnet via Command Prompt.


    now to use the Telnet client again is a very simple process

    > start
    > type telnet into the search bar
    > press enter

    you should now see the following screen



    Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    once you have the above screen type o<space>192.168.xxx.xxx ( the first character before the space is a o as in oscar and the ip is the ip address of your receiver obviously )

    you will now be asked to input your username and password and from there you can do all the usual things a Telnet session brings but without needing a third party application such as putty.

    well with any hobby you will always encounter people who either know nothing or are just starting out. I agree in a perfect world every one would research and learn how to operate the box first before buying it. If that were the case however, people would never get round to playing with their receiver in the first place. which if you ask me is where all the fun lies by playing with and learning with the receiver as you go, and then where would forums like this be ?.

    i made this tutorial because every single tutorial i have seen previously has always said download putty, well putty is nice and easy to use but not needed when windows has it's own built in telnet client, although that argument could be extended to FTP programs and the like.

    so take it as it was intended, a friendly pointer to those who did not know that putty is not their only option.

    By default there is no password just enter root as the user name and hit enter.
