It is the port number you are using, which happens to be port 5000. Several of the large cable prooviders such as AT&T closed down port 5000 after the Red Alert virus or something like that(forgot the virus name.) You can replace port 5000 with the telnet port of 23 and log on to the servers but you lose the use of accuclock for chess.net and maybe timeseal for the others, not too sure. Longterm cure: tell the network admin monkies to do a better job with security and not to use single minded, though effective, messures such as permanently closing down a whole port. If you know of any other ports aside from 5000 and 23 that the ICS's use I would be interested in knowing.
