In addition to what Dave said, ensure that you have a symlink from
/etc/services to %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services and that there
is a line containing the telnet service in that file. This link should
have been created upon installation for you, and the default windows
services file should have telnet listed, so normally this is not
something you ever have to worry about.
