Telnet problems...
« on: November 26, 2005, 06:13:05 pm »
I've been trying to telnet lately and I haven't been able to. I'm using the Windows client, and using the command:
Code: [Select]
o useast.battle.net 6112
What I get is:
Code: [Select]
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.

Don't type telnet, then use o. I asume that would work, but aparently not? Pass uswest.battle.net 6112 as command line arguments.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>telnet uswest.battle.net 6112
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Run a packetsniffer, say, ethereal.  Watch what is happening (you may need to add the filter tcp.port == 6112). 

You should say
You -> Him SYN
Him -> You SYN/ACK
You -> Him ACK

If you're being blocked, you'll see:
You -> Him SYN
Somebody -> You RST

If you send a SYN and receive nothing, it's being filtered. 

Make sure the port and the ip are right when it's leaving your computer.  Perhaps something is broken with the port number?

Also, try telnetting to Google on port 80.  Does that work?

According to his post on vL's forum.  He's just a jerk and didn't tell us here :)
