I don't understand your question. I assume that DXB is using port 23 UNLESS in the Hosts file a DIFFERENT port number is indicated. Some of the clusters do use different ports. W9NIU uses 23 which is what I think DXB is trying to access.

If you can use telnet, it is going to the well known telnet port, which is 23 I believe.
