That is because you do not have a telnet server running. If you `telnet
HOSTNAME` you are not connecting to the same ports that Samba/Windows use.

If you run `smbclient -L 127.0.0.1` on the samba server, do you see
anything? Are you sure the smb and if needed winbind services started?
Did you enable SELinux by chance? Can you offer up your smb.conf? Have
you tried running nmap against 192.168.1.2 to see what ports are open?
