What does the Telnet test tell me?
Here is the attempt... 
C:\erick>telnet isfe 3333
Connecting To isfe...Could not open a connection to host on port 3333 
+: Connect
failed

[download]
If I don't have a telnet service accepting connections on 3333, how would this test ever work?

Update:
However, running the telnet command with out the port does work.

but doesn't that just test the default telnet port (whatever that is)?
