A> telnet localhost will telnet you to the host your on now (at leat
that's how it is with linux), so telling a computer to telnet localhost
loops right back to itself.
B> try telnet (ip addy of first computer). That should work unless you've
got only on ip for both machines.

like ml.org and get an address from thm if it's too hard to remember the ip.
D> make sure your networking stuff is set up right.
