in reply to Trying to use Net::Telnet from Linux to a XP machine [connection refused]
Are you sure that you have a telnet server running on your XP box? Nearly all Windows versions do not have server functionality that you expect by default from *nix operating systems. You would have to get a telnet server for windows off the net. I'm sure you could find a free one very easily.
