I've been trying to debug something for the past couple of days and I just realized that Windows 7 does not have a telnet client installed by default unlike previous versions of Windows (dating back to version 3.11 as I recall). Doing a quick Google research, I found out it can be installed by doing the following:
- Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
- On the Control Panel Home page, click Programs.
- In the Programs and Features section, click Turn Windows features on or off.
- If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
- In the Windows Features list, select Telnet Client, and then click OK.
Windows 2008 R2 also does not have it installed by default. The following instructions seem to do the trick:
- Start Server Manager. Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Manage.
- If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
- In the Features Summary section, click Add features.
- In the Add Features Wizard, select Telnet Client, and then click Next.
- On the Confirm Installation Options page, click Install.
- When installation finishes, on the Installation Results page, click Close.
