I am trying to perform port forwarding to connect two emulators using TCP protocol on Windows. Although I have enabled TCP client program from control Panel, "telnet" command is not recognized in Command Prompt. Could anyone help me to fix this?

You have to go to Control Panel>Programs>Turn Windows features on or off. Then, check "Telnet Client" and save the changes. You might have to wait about a few minutes before the change could take effect.
