Telnet connection could not be established to host

Question

Currently I am working on setting up a telnet connection via a particular host on port 23. I saw JTelnet source code in the internet and tried connecting to my local network host. But I am not able to establish a connection. There is not even firewall block in the host with which I am trying to connect.

So Can you guys give me any idea on how to resolve this issue?

Please find below the java code:

BasicTelnet.java

public class BasicTelnet extends Canvas implements Runnable {
    final static boolean debug = false;
    final static int columns = 80, lines = 24;
    final static int telnetPort = 23;
    int PTWidth, PTHeight, charOffset, lineOffset, topOffset;
    char screen[][];
    Color screenfg[][];
    Color screenbg[][];
    boolean redraw = true;
    boolean lineRedraw[];
    Color bgcolor = Color.white;
    Color fgcolor = Color.black;
    Color d_bgcolor = Color.white;
    Color d_fgcolor = Color.black;
    Font PTFont;
    //
    boolean wrap = true;
    int xloc = 0, yloc = 0;
    InputStream sIn;
    OutputStream sOut;
    Thread receive;
    int telnetState = 0;
    boolean option[];
    DefaultTelnetTerminalHandler telnetHandler;
    Image backBuffer;

    {
        telnetHandler = new BasicTelnetTerminalHandler();
    }

    class BasicTelnetTerminalHandler extends DefaultTelnetTerminalHandler {
        public void LineFeed() {
            yloc++;
            xloc = 0;
            scrValid();
            lineRedraw[yloc] = true;
        }

        public void BackSpace() {
            xloc--;
            if (xloc < 0) {
                yloc--;
                xloc = columns - 1;
                if (yloc < 0)
                    yloc = 0;
            }
        }

        public void HorizontalTab() {
            int n = (8 - xloc % 8);
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)

    }
