Thread: Hidden Star Wars Movie on Windows XP

This works in Win XP, not sure about Vista.

click ‘Start’, ‘Command Prompt’ and type in the following:

Code:

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Very cool IMO, check it out .

wow, that is very strange...

How did it get there? Did it just come with Windows XP?

lol, it is like a old computer movie

this doesn't have anything to do with your OS
I can telnet to it from my phone as well..

It's a old school telnet command, that has the full starwars show on it, it's pretty cool

@loco;

Either way, it's still very cool .

yup, and it's a good thing to watch in boring computer class since there is no sound..hehe

Haha, well theres one use for it .

Looks like Vista no longer includes telnet.

It works on Ubuntu though.

vista just doesn't have it enabled

By default, Vista installs without telnet available. I know, I know, you should be using SSH for everything now, but sometimes you just need good old telnet. Here is how to enable telnet in Vista:

1. Open ‘Control Panel’

2. Select ‘Programs and Features’

3. In the left column, select ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ (get ready for the annoying UAC prompt)

4. Check the box next to telnet (and any other obscure services you may want enabled), and wait while Vista thinks for a while.

Thats it, now you can administer your network devices in as unsecure manner as possible!

Learn something new everyday!!!

If ya really want to impress me tell me how to enable ssh in Vista. Thanks Brandon.

Have you tried PuTTy ?

Of Course, I use WinSCP too. :3076: but it'd be nice if I could do it from the command prompt like in Linux.

Does anyone know more telnet cmd's for cool movies?
