Hi again,
thanks for the advice. I tried your telnet experiment, and still can't
connect at all. I can connect to other muds on different domains,
though. I hope this has nothing to do with my Verizon Mobile Broadband.

Hey there.
Well, you could be having some kind of firewall issue, but let's try
something first.
Try this.
Instead of trying to connect to the domain name: try connecting to the
ip address instead. I found out what it was by pinging the domain.
If you don't want to mess with VIPMud just yet, until you know you can
connect you can go to your start menu, select run and then type the
following:
telnet 174.133.72.235 4444
and press enter.
I just did this little experiment before writing this message, and it
worked.
I'm sure it some kind of simple little deal, but let's take things one
step at a time. grin

hi Jeremy and all,
LOL! I do believe the last time I played any muds at all, years ago,
I didn't use a client, but just plain old telnet. Still, I was
putting the port, 4444 in its appropriate box. but, I stil can't
connect. Could it be a windows firewall issue?

for reboot or cleanup.
I know this goes without saying, but I have seen a few people make
this mistake before, so I will mention it just in case. grin
Remember to put the port, which in this case is 4444 in the port
box, which can be gotten to in VIPMud, by tabbing once after the
host field. Like I said, I know this sounds simple enough, but too
often I have seen people put the host and port in the host field. grin
I don't know your mud client experience at all, so please don't
think I am putting you down by mentioning this. grin
At any rate, hope you are able to connect.
Jeremy

Subject: [Audyssey] Can't connect to the Hary Potter mud
Hi folks,
Okay, I'm trying out Monkeyterm, and VIP Mud, and aside from quite
a few Microsoft VB errors that keeps popping up in Monkeyterm, it
seems to work fine. But, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong
or not. I can't connect to the Harry Potter mud at:
hpwizwars.mudmagic.com port 4444
It always says connection timed out.
Any advice? I am able to connect to other muds.
Thanks.
~Ann
PS! I think I just broke a record. I've never posted three messages
on this list in one day before.
