I have an ubuntu vm which runs the UFW and a microsoft xp professional. The ip address of the ubuntu is 192.168.254.132 and so I made the xp have a static ip address of 192.168.254.131 so they will be on the same network. I tried using telnet to connect to the Ubuntu it failed, which was suppose to happen because of the implicit deny. However when I typed sudo ufw allow from 192.168.254.131 to any port 23 to allow telnet it still did not work. I do not know what is wrong.

You have to delete the deny rule as the deny rule will trump the allow rule.

Because the deny is still in place, allow will not work.
