telnet not working though server and client are on
===

i use a pc with windows 7.i tried to telnet to another host but it didn't work even though the host had enabled telnet server and i had enabled the client.So, i enabled telnet server on my pc and telnet to my pc. But this too failed with the error

    Connecting To 172.17.4.155...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23:
    Connect failed

Then i checked the tcpdump with ubuntu on a virtual machine. The dump said that connection closed with a reset flag sent. So, i checked if there was telnet server listening on port 23, using '**netstat -a**' on windows. There was no server listening on port 23. This is weird because in control panel's **Programs and Features** it says that client and server both are runnning. 

Can anyone tell me what is the problem?
