Author HELp! How to enable Telnet and ftp on Fedora

Hello,
I have machine that I brought up on Fedora Core 1 but I cannot seem
to acces it across my SOHO network. I have cable modem access coupled to
a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router with 4 LAN ports. I have a PC(XP
home) with wireless card and I have the RH system plugged directly into
one of the the 4 router LAN ports. During install I set the network
parameters to the same settings that my PC(XP home) has (i.e. gateway,
broadcast, IP). I can ping the PC from Fedora and ping the Fedora system
from the PC. However, I cannot Telnet, FTP or start any Xwindows traffic
between the two. The Fedora system can surf the Internet through the
router just like the PC can. When I try to telnet to the Fedora system
from the PC I get the message " Could not open connection to host on
port 23. A socket operation encountered a dead network". I can't seem to
locate where to enable these since it is apparently different from Red
Hat's implementation of xinetd (WHY?, WHY?, WHY? don't we want to
conguer the evil empire one day? It will never happen without some sort
of standardization). Whew!! Sorry!! I almost jumped up on my UNIX bigot
soap box.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank You!!

Nicholas

/etc/xinetd.d/telnet
remove disabled = yes
service xinetd restart

Same as all RH systems! with xinetd. might even check to make sure
telnt is even installed!
netstat -l will show listing ports also

Ok, more simply:

/sbin/chkconfig telnet on
/sbin/chkconfig vsftpd on


/sbin/chkconfig --list
