I'd try putting an entry in the hosts file in c:\windows that contains: "localhost 127.0.0.1" .. also enable the 'nameserver is slow' function in config.c .. that seems to help for me. As far as code portability, I've had great success developing with 95 and using the same source on Linux.. Saves me hours upon hours of time. --Mallory +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
