Thomas... excuse the intrusion...

When you telnet to port 80, until it connects you cannot issue the GET /
command, or better to use GET / HTTP/1.1
Also, GET must be uppercase but as I said, if it doesn't connect typing in
GET is pointless.
And you need to press ENTER twice after the GET command before the server
responds.
Your page you created was called test.htm. That's not a default page, but
even if you don't have one, you should have gotten a response that no
default page was found although on XP, without one, it takes a while to
respond, about 15 seconds or so.

You'll get this at the top if you don't have a default page:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 11:42:50 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Length: 4009
Content-Type: text/html

...followed by the source of the error page itself.

NAV (Norton AntiVirus) has a script block. Does McAfee have a setting for
that or can you temporarily disable it to test? Sometimes disabling is not
enough and you have to turn it off to test.

What about the XP firewall? Enabled or disabled? Just because you have
McAfee security, it doesn't mean you don't have the XP firewall enabled.
Also, you might have to shut down your McAfee security to test.

FYI...

I just tried to connect the way you're connecting and I cannot connect to
mine either. However, I can connect this way:

telnet localhost 80

or

telnet 127.0.0.1 80

..but I cannot connect by calling telnet and then using OPEN with localhost
or 127.0.0.1. And, when I type in the command GET / HTTP/1.1, I have no
prompt nor are the characters echoed to the screen.

HTH...
