Using a cross over cable? A little more info on your network layout

Good, basics seem to be in place.

First guess is you have iptables running which is blocking all ports.
If I remember correctly you should be able to disable the firewall with
one of the following:
service iptables stop (this would be my first try)
redhat-config-securitylevel (not sure this was in RH9 but it might be)
Once you have stopped iptables re-test your services. If they work then
that was the problem. You should then reconfigure iptables to allow the
service ports through that you need to use.
On a side note I would recommend you use ssh instead of telnet. But get
your services working first then change to ssh and disable telnet.
