Please post a new topic for new questions; this is not related to the post you replied to.  As for telnet not working, returning "connection fialed errot" (connection failed error, presumably), it could be

a) telnet is not starting properly (permissions)
b) firewall on 2003 prohibits outgoing telnet (unlikely)
c) firewall on RHEL prohibits incoming telnet (a good idea)
d) xinetd is configured wrong
e) telnet is not actually installed
f) telnet is not running on port 23
.. and I'm sure there could be other reasons.

Try running 'netstat -ta' as root on the RHEL server, and post the results.  Also try telnetting to localhost from within RHEL, and see what happens.

Is there a reason to use telnet specifically? If not, ssh is a far superior alternative.

One thing forgotten is that he is running RHEL 5 as a virtual machine.
He did not state what VM platform he is using but I'm betting it's
VMWare.

Check the if network card is bridged.

If you set chkconfig, it doesnt start the service itself. You sure you
started the service?

Check the firewall on both OSes also.
