How about some configuration details for your "home LAN"? The
expression "home LAN" can cover a multitude of sins! There are at least
FOUR technologies that could be in use, from Ten-Base5 to Fiber Optic or
wireless!

a test that could help narrow this down: does the same problem occur
if IP the address is used by the client instead of hostname (telnet
xx.xx.xx.xx)

does the problem occur telnetting to the server from itself (telnet 0
or telnet localhost) ? could help rule that in or out.

of course that assumes you have access to the system you are trying to
connect to.
