It won't help you probably, but I'm not able to use their windows client too - but the reason isn't the port but that they changed access rules I believe (I'm not sure, maybe it's only that my version is too old, or they have disabled access through the lite version). I didn't find a free download for the (new?)client program though. But I can access Chess.Net via their java applet. http://www2.chess.net/games/java/j_chess.html Actually, I don't understand those port things. I always thought, it is their port 5000... does this mean, port 5000 is also used at my machine for the connection? It works anyway. And your cable company blocks that port number? Sounds ugly.
