Upon connection to the library using lync 3.0, (The connection was okay), there was nothing (blank screen) after that. How do I receive the packets from the library?

When there is a direct link to open the connection from the browser, xp will automatically open a window and connect. But when I manually go to the command prompt, and type telnet xx.xx.xx.xx. it won't work. Is it a port number problem? The same thing happens on lync, i can't connect to that host …
