Your software appears not to be able to specify a differing port other
than 22 for ssh. Not all ssh servers listen on port 22 and some
networks disable ssh communication on it's default port. For instance,
I have my ssh server listening on several ports including the default,
but my office netword blocks ssh communication on its default port of
22. So from my office I connect to my server on port 21. I'm inclined
to write an improved version of your software for the people who can't
grasp a command line.

You can specify port using "standard" (":") port notation. If you
wont to connect to server "foo" with SSHD listening on port "bar",
then all you need to do is to put "foo:bar" in "Host name" field.
WoW2GO will parse port number and us it instead of 22. This works for
all other connectors (HTTP proxy and SOCKS)
