very simple...
1, make sure you use 127.0.0.1 for your ip address TO
your mud.
2. type #ig when connecting to the mud using ZMUD as this turns off
all triggers and command line parsing (increases ZMUD's speed
immensly). ZMUD tends to hang when connecting to muds.
SideNote: somebody said Winsock.dll in win95B won't let you do
anything until you are dialed out. Either you have a bad winsock,
or you need to review something, as this is not the case.
I have 5 computers running static ip's (the 198.162 ghost ips that
will never get hooked into the internet--much like 127.0.0.1). They
are NEVER dialed into anything, but they work GREAT, with
ping..tracerts, all the cool stuff working at speeds most people WISH
they had....so i don't know, maybe something is wrong with yours?
