    Usually you use an application to connect from one host to another. Applications like Browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera) are used to connect from a client (home user usually) to a website (e.g., www.google.com); Telnet applications (telnet, putty, etc.) where you connect as a client to a telnet server; FTP applications (WS-FTP, command-line FTP) where a client connects to an FTP server to download and/or upload files.

    Does that help? Or was there something more specific?

    Telnet is generally used to connect to remote hosts.. Go to dos and type telnet.. If your on 9x it should pop up.. if your on ntfs then just type open <remote host>

    What OS are you using? If it is Win 9x do this: My Computer > Dial Up Networking > Make New Connection and follow the instructions. Hope this helps!

    EDIT: I'm confused I thought he meant to make a new connection to an ISP?

    Need just a bit more info from you but you should have an IP address of the shell. Go to start-->run--> type in telnet "ip of the shell"

    Where didi you get the shell from?

    i got some shell thing
    umm shell thing ? , I think you mean your on 9x and your using telnet.. But first make sure you go to preferences and uncheck local echo..And make sure when you try to connect to a web server , for port type 80. 80 is the standard http port.. Then your gonna have to learn the rest on your own.. Good Luck and don't beat yourself up , that's what reading is for. Reading is progressing.

    the host has to have a service running.
    try typing this at the command prompt or shell:
    ftp 24.243.64.239
    congratulations you just made your first remote connection through a shell.
    or you can just type it in the address bar of your web browser to see it graphically.
    also it sounds like you are using a telnet program, so try this for the host
    sdf.lonestar.org
    you should be able to connect to them.
    also in the command prompt or shell you could type:
    telnet sdf.lonestar.org
    hope this helped.
