I have installed RedHat Linux 7.1. I am not able to telnet to my machine from some other machine. While trying to telnet from some other machine to my machine, it gives me following error :

Trying 202.141.151.92... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Similarly when I try to ftp, it displays following error message :

ftp: connect: Connection refused

xinetd is running. From my local machine, it allows me to telnet/ftp to localhost. I have looked into /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/xinetd.conf files and /etc/xinetd.d/ directory. All files seem OK to me. There is no firewall setting enabled. /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny have no entry. If someone wants to see these files then I can send the files.

What may be the problem?
