Cannot telnet into my router, using cmd

Hey,
in xp, i used to hit start-run then type in telnet 192.168.2.1
this brought up a command prompt and from there i could log in and change
settings in my router.
Well now with Vista i click on command prompt, but i do not know how to
telnet into my router from there.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Re: Cannot telnet into my router, using cmd

Hello,

telnet both client+server are disabled by default.
you can turn them on by: Start > Control Panel > clicking on Programs >
Clicking on 'Turn on or off Windows features'. Their bunch of checkboxes,
towards bottom.

Good Luck,
-Ben

Telnet is not installed by default in VISTA. Select Help, then type in
telnet and it will guide you through the telnet install (easy).
