    for me the telnet prog is not graphical. at least i dont think it is graphical means it has all the icons and crazy windows stuff right? well the telnet im using just runs in the command prompt, so it should work, right?

    Do you have a purpose? We may be able to help more if we knew it, there may be better solutions.

    Also, when you telnet to another computer, then run 'telnet' on it, you are running the remote computers version of telnet, if it doens't have the command line version, then it will try and start up the goofy 9x version, which you can't use from the telnet command line. It's the same deal as if you tried running 'notepad' from your telnet window. It would start notepad on the remote computer. Notepad, of course, cannot be controlled or used from the command line, much like the goofy 9x version of telnet.

    -Good day,

    Actually...

    echo blah>>C:\123.txt
    notepad C:\123.txt

    Running under under XP I am able to load text files and make the text appear to the user useing guess what? Yup... notepad under command promt so it really has a slightly bit more of a use rather than being called into action then just siting around with nothing to do. Oh and He has already mentioned "XP", "running stuff under DOS", & then there was this most recent post. In my eyes I beleave that he has made it beyond clear by now that he is useing the CLI version of telnet which by the way comes standard with XP. Hummm... so unless he downloaded another version and/or replaced the XP standard version with another... and is also really really really confused right now then I doubt he is useing it with some fancy GUI.

    oh, I was like, why is the|Specialist talking like that? Wouldn't he get my point?

    TheSpecialist? w/ 4 posts, yeah. ok, sorry.

    You can't use notepad interactively from another computer, i.e. once you start it, without a third party program, terminal services (which, consequentially, I think may be what this dude is after), or some crazy trick messing with internal windows messaging remotely like some simpler trojans can do, you can't do much with notepad once it's started.

    I did miss the crucial clue for running NT something, he hasn't mentioned what the other computers are specifically, but he did say they all called cmd.exe. I missed that, and that means he most likely has some NT version or above, quite posibbly xp, since he didn't think it necessary to be specific.

    Oh, your here phonedog911? didn't mean to talk about you in 3rd person. lol.

    This will work, I've done it before just for fun. I'm doing some testing and such, since this topic has me interested again. I like zark0id's method, but I haven't gotten it to work myself. Speak of the devil:

    zark0id:

    Are you sure those should work? they don't work for me. It seems fairly reasonable logic, but it doesn't work as described for me. Yes, I changed the IP's I'm quite familiar with nc, and could come up with some similar things on my own, but yours are so simple. If your sure they'll work exactly as described, just let me know, and I'll just figure out why they don't work for me.

    Thanks.

    I'm not exactly sure why telnet doesn't work, since you've said all three computers have the command line version (this is correct right?) Edit doesn't work for technical reasons. The whole full screen thing and such.

    Telnet has worked for me in the past. Not sure why it doesn't now. I may play around with it a bit.

    So do you really have a purpose other than learning? That's just great, but I'd like to know just how to approach your problem. If it's a more practical reason, there may be better solutions. If it's to learn, we can give tips and links to gain knowledge.

    I wrote down the steps as I was doing it. It worked on my end.
    (I guess I could have typed it wrong but I tried to be careful).

    The default setting for windows telnet server is NTLM authentication only. In order to use NC you have to change it to use plain text. Being as we’re talking command line here, enter tlntadmn, choose ‘3) Display / change registry settings’ then ‘7) NTLM’ and give it the value 0 (zero). This is not real secure to say the least but inside your home network for fun…what the hell. Don’t forget to include ‘-t’ in the NC args.

    Oh yeah! Windows telnet does not allow a telnet session to be started from within the telnet shell but will allow a NC session. And if you plan to do a lot of command line work edlin is a good tool to learn as it works just great from within a shell and allows you to make changes to a single line without having to echo the whole dammed file.

    As zark0id has said nc isn’t a GUI tool…it just sits there listening for incoming connections. The –v flag is pretty useless in a server use so try getting rid of it.
