If it goes blank and shows a blinking cursor then it's gotten a connection to the server on that port. (But will do nothing else since it doesn't actually work using the telnet protocol on the other end)
Revisiting this - if I get the cursor and blank window (meaning i connected to the server and the port is not blocked), but still can't connect to the login server, do you have any other ways of seeing if it's viable?

Edit: Adding error message.

This occurs when I hit the login screen and just try to "connect" or "quick connect."

"A connection to the server could not be reached. Please check your internet connection to make sure you are online.

If the problem persists, please check our Network Status and Scheduled Downtime pages for updates. If the problem persists, please use our Help Link for further assistance."
