Hi all,
I'm in Windows 10 machine, and I managed to enable Telnet via the GUI rather than in the console.
I've since been trying to follow along with the video however if I type
telnet httpbin.org 80
All I see is
connecting to httpbin.org...
And then a blank screen. Any ideas as to what I may have missed. I've even tried connecting to my own website but the same result happens
Now I've looked at previous posts in the forum and it seems like others are having similar problems, even if they use other domains on their telnet commands, Am I better off just using Workspaces? :)

It may be you just need to type in the blank screen, but apparently I can't type fast enough.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsFunny... but I've just tried again on Workspaces, tells me "not authorised".
Might just see what i can learn without following along because command prompt on windows hasn't worked either. :)
