telnet install of fedora core 2?

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi
	OK, the installer runs, but I can't connect to it. Here's what I get the first time I try to telnet into the IP 
it's using:
Trying 192.168.1.102...
Connected to 192.168.1.102.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
and if I try again after that I get a simple connection refused message. I'm trying to telnet in through my linux 
desktop using the standard telnet command. What am I missing? This s a DHCP-supplied IP, if I give it an IP manually and 
try to telnet in it just hangs there indefinitely. I even tried running nmap on it and it appears that *all* ports are 
closed. Do I need to configure a something in my router, a port forward to forward the telnet port, perhaps?
