"telnet 127.0.0.1 4000"
config.c: DFLT_IP="127.0.0.1"

turn mud off, then:

nc -v -l -p 4000 &
telnet [your ip] 4000
telnet 127.0.0.1 4000

ask friend on internet to try
telnet [your ip] 4000
ask friend on internet on a different node, subnet to
telnet [your ip] 4000

disable your firewall (or at least rip a hole for tcp
connections allowed to port 4k)
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4000 -j ACCEPT   for example.

make sure your router is forwarding them to the appropriate
machine.

make sure NAT/Masq is set up correctly.

...and whatever other very basic network connectivity checks you
want to run.
