You should be able to connect to the mud server from another system on your local lan without a problem but you wont be able to connect from over the internet to a system on your side of the router. There is a solution, (altho expensive prolly) contact your service provider and ask for a range of static ip address's (which they can advertise for you) and then setup your workstations with these static ip addresses, then setup your router to forward packets. Now if you cant connect to the mud server from another system on your local LAN, then you have another problem, depending on how you have you system configured. you may have some sort of fire wall software running blocking port 4000? hope that gives you an idea of what your problem is. regs jp -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
