I've been trying to telnet lately and I haven't been able to. I'm using the Windows client, and using the command:
o useast.battle.net 6112
What I get is:
Connecting to useast.battle.net...
And it stays that way for FOREVER. What's interesting is that when I type in an incorrect port, it tells me (after about 2 or so minutes (literally)) "connection to host failed." This seems to imply that the server I am connecting to doesn't support telnet, but I was almost sure that bnet did.
I've tried other supposedly telnet-supported servers, and it doesn't work. I checked out my router settings, and I didn't find anything prohibiting the telnet protocol. I doubt my cable modem would prohibit it. I also tried typing in a bnet ip address for telnet, and that didn't work too, so it's not a DNS problem...
My questions: from reading this, do you see that I'm doing something wrong? If not, can you tell me a telnet-supported server ip/hostname that you have recently connected to via telnet so I can verify that it's not the server, but instead my client or router?
EDIT
Oh yea, I have tried telnetting from all the computers on my network. Which is why I have limited it to being a problem on the router or the server.
