Then you start xboard and instruct it to use localhost as the ICS site and you must tell it the port you've setup. I forget the exact xboard command line syntax for doing that but you can find it in the help files. After that everything should be OK. Accuclock opens up it's own telnet session to chess.net to relay your commands. I hope this is helpful. Alex
