Hi,

I found an excellent telnet client which works perfectly [Quick tool : A minimalistic Telnet library], through code project :).

But the server that I'm using doesn't prompt the login, else i have to supply the login name once the telnet client being connected to the server. In this case a slight modification should be done to the above coding.

I tried to modify the coding accordingly, but failed. Can somebody help me to find the solution please?

I am using the same solution given here "Quick tool : A minimalistic Telnet library"

Thanks & Regards,
Hansika

Do you mean that once you've connected, the server says nothing and you are expected to send your login info without being prompted?

Just looking at the code, if this is the case, just remove the read instructions and use the WriteLines.

string s = Read(); // not needed as its not sending anything

Some telnet servers only support connections from known IP addresses. For other clients, they either refuse connection or to confuse the client, accept the connection and then does nothing (no data is accepted or sent back). It's a possibility that this is what you are experiencing here.
