Remote Log viewing

[numair42]

Now that someone told me how to set up the log file, I'm wondering what is the best way to view the file from another computer. My server is located in the same building, but it is far away from my workstation.
I'm trying to use the tcpquery using HyperTerminal in windows XP, but I can't seem to be able to send any commands to the server. I have figured out how to connect over a network line, but when I type something, nothing happens.

I looked through the help files for HyperTerminal and it sugests to set up the server to echo back commands.

Can anyone help me with this?

well, just run the following command: (WINKEY+R)
telnet <ip> <port>
for sure you have to echange <ip> and <port>... and notice that there's a space between them.
if that worked you should see a [TS] promt...
type help to get all info you need.
you'll need some of these commands: slogin, log, sel

Okay I tried that and got this:

C:\>telnet 192.168.0.104:51234
Connecting To 192.168.0.104:51234...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed

There is no firewall and my server.ini has this:
TCPQueryPort=51234

I've double checked the IP and both computers are connected to the same router. port 23 should be open.

Just so you know, the server is running on a Windows ME and the clients are all XP... could that be an issue?
