Can't telnet into OpenOCD

As per subject.

I can connect into a NAS server with running telnet in a Command prompt, so telnet can initiate a connection through the firewall.

I’m using OpenOCD 0.7.0 and the firewall is set for this program to accept incoming connections

I run a batch file containing OpenOCD and a couple of .fg files and I get the typical expected response.

After typing:

telnet localhost 4444

rather than getting an error I get a blank screen and then after a long while I get back the C: prompt.

Any ideas to what’s going on?

and what happens if you disable your firewall ?

Many thanks for your reply.

I turned off local network firewall and I get the same “Connecting to localhost” and then a blank screen.

The cursor does move as per characters typed, and no text or commands shown the OpenOCD text window.
