Telnetting into WG probs
Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2003 9:24 pm
I'm back...heh
Finally fixed my problem with people telnetting into my board, had to keep resetting reassigning my portforwarding services on my router and it finally worked.
New problem:
I tried telnetting in from outside of my home network (dial-up) and logged in with my sysop account, it runs smooth and lets me get into the main menu. When I try to go into the system management menu my connection freezes (i.e. just sits there, doesn't hang).
Same thing happened when I logged in as a new user and tried to make a mud char. It goes to the majormud menu, enters, lets you choose a race, and a class, then asks if ya want to be lawful and freezes whether ya choose yes or no.
I rerolled the sysop account and tried to make a new character with that to see if it was only new users and the same thing happened. When I use any other login that already has a majormud character, it goes into MM just fine. Everything works just fine when I log in from my home network (192.yada.yada), only happens when I telnet in from the outside. Weird. Any help on this would be great.
specs:
WG 3.30 MM 1.11m
Win XP Pro
Cable modem with dyndns ip
Netgear Wireless router
