Cannot Connect - strange

[El_Jefe]

I can connect to other telnets, but as of this morning I cannot connect to gmud.

Anyone reslove this for me?

I read the gossip page and it has people talking right now.

Its doing the same for me.. not sure whats going on with it..

[El_Jefe]

crap router or crap firewall

that'd be my guess

I used to have wg problems with certain people connecting and used a generic circuit city router.  I would hope it is not an ISP thing.

telnet is often blocked as it was a threat in 1988.   this is at least my dealings with bbs and blocked users.

Both are custom jobs in this case... I'd say it could be a dns problem but I connect via his IP number so that rules that out. What ISP are you using?

[El_Jefe]

FIOS

what is his IP?

[schwagg]

Still cannot connect.

I checked the gossips page and the Who's online page and the last seen gossip was last night at 12:30 am. It also says my characters are online when they clearly are not. I assume nobody can connect right now?

[El_Jefe]

I was having isp problems and now all are fixed besides this one.

uh.  2 problems at once = brain fried

[schwagg]

Is this going to be adressed today or not? The board's been down all day.

[El_Jefe]

sux ass

[Chupon]

Still down damn... I wanna lvl :P

[El_Jefe]

would be nice if someone would explain some sort of status.


hope vitoc is ok.

[The Crazy Animal]

More then likely it was just down and seems to still be down. I got cut a little short when trying to bring it up with vitoc while he was at work. Since he hasn't logged back in, I'm thinking his connection must be down. And that is probably what is causing the connection problems..

[El_Jefe]

probably due to the man oppressing us.

good time for me to be on vacation :)

and it's not a connection thing, greatermud.com is still responding to DNS queries and pingable.  It's just not listening on port 23...
