Did you install or upgrade any firewall software?  Is your DX4WIN.TCP
file up-to-date? Did you pick nodes that are known to work?  Nodes do
occasionally go off-line and some people have had some rather bad luck
picking backup nodes.  K1TTT and VE7CC are almost ALWAYS reachable.

Go to:

    http://www.dxcluster.info

Find the Telnet link at the top.  When the table appears, click on the
link to the node you're trying to connect to.  If the Window comes up,
but doesn't connect, then something is wrong with the node, not
DX4WIN.
