So, populate /etc/hosts on both machines with a line for each host.
At least until you fix your DNS. (On non-Unix machines, it'll be
somewhere else, e.g. C:\WINDOWS\HOSTS on some Win32 boxen.)
And you'll want to "apt-get install ssh" on the Debian box, and consult
http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/security/ssh-clients to find suitable
ssh client software for whatever OS you're using, there. Instead of
telnet.
