Go up one level in this thread


Your firewall may not allow connections on ports that high. Since you can
connect to the standard telnet port on ICC (don't know about FICS), try just
entering  'chessclub.com' or '204.178.125.65' (without the quotations) and see
if this works.

If it does ask for a port number (unlikely) just enter 23, which is the standard
telnet port.
