When i trie to connect to any of my muds it says
Unable to connect to "achaea", code=10061(Connection Refused)Error occured during phase: Connecting to world
204.209.44.12,port 23
Ok, time for some system info and basic debugging.....
What OS?
Are you running a firewall?
Are you using a proxy server?
What is your connection type?
Can you ping the mud you are attempting to connect to?
OS is the operating system for your computer.
Ping is an old dos networking connection tool, open a comand prompt and type ping 204.209.44.12 and tell me the results.
A firewall is a computer security feature that can (and usually does) screw up people trying to play games from behind it.
ping statictics for 204.209.44.12:
packets: sent=4,recievied=4,lost=0(o% loss)
approximate round trip times in mili-seconds
minimum=0ms,maximum= 0ms,average=0ms
According to MudConnector, Achaea is a different IP address:
Achaea, Dreams of Divine Lands
Last Updated: October 19, 2001
Mud Created: September, 1997
Code Base: [Custom] Fully original design and coding
Site: achaea.com 23 [216.18.90.22]
However having said that, I connected OK to 204.209.44.12 a moment ago, so either it wasn't up before and is now, or you have a firewall between you and the MUD.
Has it ever worked from that PC? Are you somewhere where a firewall is likely, eg. place of work, school, college etc?
