Telnet problem from XP to another XP

[zillah]

I tried to telnet from A- ->B,,,,,Both A and B are running XP Pro and no firewall.

On B I created username called jsmith, I added him to "Administrator" group (because there is no group called "TelnetClient" unlike 2000 and 2003 server)

I enabled Telnet session on B and I tried to telnet from A to B, I received this message:

You are about to send your password information to remote computer in internet zone . This might not be safe. Do you want to send any way [y/n] ?

,,,,If I typed in "y"

I received this error message :

Access Denied : specified user is not a member of telnet clients group. Server Administrator, must add this user to the above group. Telnet session has closed the connection

If I type in "No": I was able to access the B!!!! : OR,,,,if I typed in:

telnet 192.168.0.1 and double click (not single click ),,,(i.e. without waiting to see this message “You are about to send your password information to remote computer in internet zone . This might not be safe. Do you want to send any way [y/n] ?),,,,,I was able to access the B as well.


I tried this scenario at lab at work with more than one group (I configured 4 groups , each group of 2 PCs).

try having an account on each machine with the same username/password both in the admins group. it should work without even prompting then.....
