Hello Again,
I`m having a problem with both telnet servers (login and game server), i always get "Incorrect Password!" if i login from vista (i think it`s because vista doesn`t have a telnet client and i`m using putty), I even added a code to show me what password i typed and what password the server requires and it still shows "Incorrect Password!". But if i login from telnet`s machine localhost with the same password with windows telnet it works. Should i try with putty on the server machine too?

Thank You,
iamcypher

Using PuTTY 0.60
check Connexion -> Telnet
Telnet negotiation mode turned to passive... it may help...

When you connect to a telnet server, there is an handshake which will send info like capabilities supported (colors, and other). You may see such an initialisation in some MUD servers network code (most MUD are open source)

Confirmed: It does login when you are using passive mode.

Thank you!

Use putty raw mode.

I never tried that mode (well, I'm using Linux most of the time so no need for putty)... it's easier than passive negotiation as you only have to edit 1st page of parameters... Your solution is better than mine ;-)
