The telnet clients appears to be working properly. I would suspect a hosts.allow type issue on the server side, which means make sure that the connection is coming from the IP address you think it should be coming from; routing tables on the client might also be the culprit if it's routing through the wrong interface. I notice you're using 172.16.0.0/12 addresses - any chance this is a virtual network between VM's (or between host and VM)? -- Mark J.
