worlgroup problems

i got my board up but people cant telnet in, works fine for both local computers using the dns addy but other people cant telnet in, any idea anyone? I know they're running a firewall but im not sure if they block ports, so what can i do if they do?



step by step instructions would be nice, thanks people

try checking your ip....make sure it's reaching the net.

[War Hawk]

change your dns ip to the ip of your internet connection... not of your local ip address to your local network...

ive tried that, try telnetting too 210.49.157.25

[War Hawk]

you need to have your port 23 pointed to your WG server computer....

[elpresidente]

how do i do that?

[elpresidente]

this is what it says when someone tries to telnet in i believe.



TCP/IP ERROR - SEND error 10053 (port 23) software caused connection abort.



now i know u guys have encountered this so give us a hand pls

It's the firewall or a router problem

[elpresidente]

yeh is there a way to use a different port or something?

[Reckless]

where is this firewall you speak of? Is it your own firewall, the school's or your ISP's?
