Raspberry Pi Forums

Which parameters do I have to use to succesfully establish a telnet session with the Pi? (host=IP, username=guest and so).

Use ssh not telnet. putty is a good client and is available for many platforms.

Same username and password as on a keyboard directly on the RPi.

See sig.

Ole Bob sure predicted how computer forums would work, didn't he?

If you really want to run telnet on port 23 you'll need to install a daemon and a client.

sudo apt-get install telnetd telnet

The client of choice on windows is PuTTY.

Please be aware the telnet is insecure and you should use SSH if you can and definitely if you plan to open things up to the public internet.

I don't know the difference between telnet and ssh. Which ssh clients are there for Windows?

I already told you. And DougieLawson did too.

Found it! (sorry for the misunderstanding... )

(Btw, it is plain 'pi' and 'raspberry' it turns out )

and you really should change the password
and use another user -
but that is IMO of-cause
