Can not telnet from other machines

[adila100]

Guys,
I am new in Linux. I have got one intel box having Red Hat Linux 7.2. It working fine when I'm on console and can telnet to any machine in my network. But when I telnet to this machine from other machines, I cant not do it. I have conection refused. I tried to ping it, iti is working, I can telent from the console to the same machine. I spent some time to figure out but no luck.
Any idea?

is xinetd running ? redhat 7.2 by default does not allow ftp or telnet.

ps -ef|grep xinetd
if its not running,
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

if you still cant telnet to it check that you have a telnet file in /etc/xinetd.d/
vi telnet
service telnet
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
}

make sure that disable=no.

Oh forgot to add, make sure your local network is allowed acces in the /etc/hosts.allow file,
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

check you have a unique IP and hostname for the machine in question .. from the error looks like its sharing its domain name or IP with another machine on the network ***************************************
