I suspect that wtDxtelnet can connect (or try to connect to) to the 
Telnet cluster through the router which has 192.168.2.x/255.255.255.0 
address.

The broadcast address defined in Win-Test must be part of the IP address 
of your "Internet network" if you want to give Internet access to 
wtDxTelnet. Another way would be to define two IP addresses, which is 
not a good idea IMO.

Try to configure your computers to get their IP and DNS configuration 
automatically by DHCP, then use 192.168.2.x/255.255.255.0 as broadcast 
and subnet address in WT.

If this still doesn't work, here is a short step-by-step guide:

1. Get connected to Internet (check that with a web browser) the 
computer which wtDxTelnet is running on
2. Verify that wtDxTelnet can also connect to the Telnet Clusters
3. Check the IP address of this computer (I guess it should be one of 
192.168.2.x/255.255.255.0)
4. Configure the broadcast address in WT to reflect what you got in point 3
5. Duplicate this config to the other computers WT is running on
