When you connect, are you telling your GUI to connect to _your_ machine, port 5000? IE what happens is the GUI talks to accuclock on your local machine, via port 5000. Accuclock will connect to chess.net as a third party. If you are using winboard, for example, you would _not_ tell winboard to connect to chess.net... you tell it to connect to your host name, port 5000...
