Any help would be appreciated.

dear george hard-on,

chances are, your local server can be reached by telnetting to 'localhost' on port 23. i'd recommend familiarizing yourself with your router and port forwarding and such because your question leads me to believe that's going to be a problem for you as well.

good luck

If you want to log in locally, you should be able to use localhost or
127.0.0.1 for the machine name/IP address.

To get the local IP address for your server, you can open a command prompt and type ipconfig if in Windows or ifconfig if in Linux. Either of those commands will show the local IP address of your machine.

Also, if you have a software firewall, check those settings. A firewall may
be preventing you from being able to connect.
