Yeah actually I hit Reply instead of Reply to All yesterday when I replied to him a second time after that one, to say I had been smoking crack when I said port 23, and that it should have been 4000 on the external interface over to 4000 on the internal network at the mud server's address... The problem was that from internally, he could connect ok, but externally, attempts were being denied connection... I tried connecting as well, and got rejected... I sent him over to the Shields Up!! firewall checking service, and it did indeed show his port 4000 as open, so then he picked the dynamic dns address he had given me, and it resolved to a different address than the actual external address on his firewall, which I think was the problem... Not sure if he ever got it sorted out, as I headed off to bed, but that was the last I had heard on the progress of that :)

No UDP or ICMP or anything else. Don't leave open holes to get hacked on. If you're using SSH to connect to your shell, it's port 22. - Valnir -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Lindsey Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 6:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: Help with internet connections Hmmm, not quite sure how to interpret that problem, but I'm guessing that you want to have access to the server from the internet side, without opening your whole box up to all ports? You only need to route incoming port 23 at your router over to port 4000 on your server, or whatever port your game is running on...

A few days ago I have decided to start using the ROM server through internet side, so with the knowledge that port 4000 was the one needed I routed all tcp and udp to that port ( maybe this uses other protocol so I just selected "all types" for 4000 port to avoid problems ). the thing is that anyone can still connect to my ROM server from outside the LAN and I have even tried other MERC/ROM 1 based MUDs such as SMAUG but it did not work either. What can it be happening? Thanks in advance, M.
