http://askubuntu.com – I have a new Ubuntu install where I am not able to connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 or using my computer name. telnet localhost [tried all/no port numbers] returns telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Is there any configuration I need to do to make this work? Would it be disabled by default?? (HowTos)

Thanks you for your time.

I have just set up a Postfix mail server which is running as MTA in one of my aws instances.

I'm working on a local dev setup that requires the use of telnet (playing with setting up a MUD server) so please no feedback suggesting I use SSH as a more secure alternative.

However, though I've got the telnet daemon up, I am getting this output when I telnet localhost.

$ telnet localhost Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.

On a vista pro, I activated ftp server with "Activate or deactivate Windows-functionality" > IIS (rough translation). I can't connect to ftp even in localhost:

C:\...> ftp localhost Connection refused

Port 21 is not opened:

C:\...> telnet localhost 21 connect failed

$ netstat -a | grep 21 no result

Where to look at to find a hint?
