Chances are, during your installation, you said that you wanted the
firewall to be active, and that is what is blocking your access right
now. You can edit the firewall settings (ipchains) and allow telnet
access from remote. Firewall settings should be under the System
Settings menu somewhere... don't have the 8.0 box running right now so I
can't check. Look around ;-)
