Question

how to install telnet in my pc..??

Answer 1

Windows XP comes with a telnet client - just enter command prompt and enter 'telnet <target ip or hostname>

If you mean telnet server, you'll need to get some third party software for this as it's not standard in Windows.

Note telnet is incredibly insecure.

Answer 2

You prolly already have it, Start>>Run>>CMD

type "telnet <host name or IP address>"

hit enter

Answer 3

The built-in client is pretty minimalistic. I recommend PuTTY, which can be found at http://www.putty.nl/

Answer 4

If u hv winXP telnet comes by default in Hyper Terminal.

Answer 5

Assuming you are running a Windows O/S then Microsoft has installed a basic Telnet application.

If you desire a more advanced telnet that is also capable of other features like Secure Telnet (TCP/22) or logging and copy & Paste items.  Then I would recommend downloading one from either download.com or twocows.com.

Amongst the free ones I have found to work are:

teraterm

putty

Both allow for both telnet and ssh sessions and more robust logging then the telnet client that Microsoft uses.

Hope this helps

Answer 6

As others have said you already have telnet as part of Windows XP.  If you're not comfortable using the command line version there is a free download from www.putty.org that has a Windows interface.
