How to enable Telnet client in Vista

I needed to check if a port is open but I had the surprise to see that Telnet wasn't enabled on Vista.

Here is how I enabled it :

  • Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
  • Select 'Programs and features'
  • Then, from the left menu click on 'Turn Windows features on or off'.
  • Check the checkbox near 'Telnet Client'
  • Click 'Ok'

Now you have the telnet client enabled :)
