Before you do, and if your machine ISN'T connected to any public networks,
turn off all firewalling completely...allow all data from anywhere, and try
again.
Otherwise, reinstalling the OS will simply result in exactly what you have
now -

When telnetting, I get:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

if you type "g <enter>" twice, it should show each letter 'g', and then
disconnect you.

If not, then you need to open a hole in your firewall for 3050 access.
