Telnet

If it is password protected then yes you'll need that information.
Ask you dad to give it to you, see what he says....


Good Luck,

I have his Logon/pass, that doesnt seem to work, come to think of it, they probably arent on a domian...what would i need then to get access?

The parameters would be something like: C:\>telnet Symantec.com:23 <enter>
Or you could include the IP address: C:\>telnet 192.168.0.1:23 <enter>
The colon 23 ( :23 )

this only can be done in the private area only..
isnt it? correct me if i'm wrong..
let say, i'm at Japan and i want to acces my pc at Malaysia using telnet..is it possible?how to do that?

Basically, it offers secure encryption to encrypt the data in transit, so that your passwords or anything that is typed or outputed is not flying around the switchable network in plain text or generally being in any way useful if sniffed. Unique RSA key are also used for each session, so IP/DNS spoofing and man in the middle attacks are also next to impossible.

I'm intrigued by Jack's comment that you can use Telnet to connect to your ISPs mail server and check your mail before downloading it with a 'real' mail client. How exactly is that done?

if I recall correctly,

telnet [pop3server] [port]
USER [user@name.com]
PASS [password]
LIST


[edit:]just checked it, no need for helo
