am I an Admin as in ???
yeah on my computer I was using the Admin account. but nope its a college network so Im not the Admin on the network. Maybe thats the reason.

edit:
sorry forgot to add the reason I was telnetting - well wierdly enough just for the heck of it there are very wiered things that a guy can find on a LAN and he can learn alot from it as well if he just does stuff for fun .

[rant ] as an example -- In my college labs we have a 20 MB account limit and very restricted rights. however I found that if we were to logon from the graduate labs we could get an administravtive account on that computer. that is because of some mistake they had made since this happened only when the computer couldnt log us on to our roaming profile and made a temporary local profile. and yeah we did tell the admins.
