You tried telneting to another server that you know has telnet running also i would look up SSH which is basically telnet but all comunication is encrypted so its harder for people to spy on what you are doing.
Also i belive telnet on a windows box is not the best of things to do, most of the stuff your system admin is doing is will be remote desktop which is a tool that comes with windows xp so that they can see what you are doing and take over the computer etc etc....
