Dark Legacy MUD Forum

ok i know cele said till friday well now its like tuesday and it isnt saying i cant connect to server now its acting like it does when its looping or when they are doing some work on the mud

i'm having issues with it atm, even though i know i'm using the proper IP, and it's pingable.

So if anyone else is having similar woes, you're not alone, i'll post here when it's resolved.

Using zmud? Ive heard that zmud ppl were having problems, was talking to Gaitika about his problem just yesterday.

If it is a zMUD problem the fix would probably be to:

Edit the character settings for Dark Legacy,

Put: 205.234.68.8 in the Host, although I think dark-legacy.com is working now.

Click the lookup button... I /think/ that might fix it.

it doesnt

the first thing i did was try every available way to make it work, no luck.

and it's not limited to zmud, using windows default telnet client also does not work.

i can ping the thing (98 ms)
host lookup works fine
http://www.dark-legacy.com can resolve its ip address fine

but, i cannot connect

It'd help to see some trace routes.

when using some other telnet program i get:

Connecting to '205.234.68.8'.
Connection Failed: No Error

*** Server has closed ***

I also get the same problem, and doesn't work with Portal GT, SimpleMU, the http://www.dark-legacy.com connect, the DL program etc .

it's too specific to be a coincidence, i believe the mud officially dislikes us Dunadan.

If i ever get back in, it's sooo gunna pay for this.

*gets out the rusty knives*

I agree!

It let me back on yesterday, and i was useing the same old way i used to to get on.

i got on not too long ago as well, using the IP, and i use portal GT

anywho, i just tried a few other muds, because i started thinking i was being mental, and they worked fine.

dark legacy is being mean to me, or at least this new fangled server is.

I use ZMud and the way I got on was went to the new screen, Clicked new, typed the IP address in host, named it DL Temp, typed the port, and bam, I was in.

205.234.68.8 (IP)

9898 Port

If you need help connecting this way, send me a PM and I'll do whatever I can to help anyone that asks.

In my case, and probably Dunadans, i believe our sites are somehow blocked.

Yeah it does look that way, won't even let us try to connect.

irc is cool I hear, for talking with people if you can't connect.

I'll see what I can find out this weekend.

Yeah, most anyone that needs to talk to me can use my msn to talk though, but i might try getting on the IRC later. aceantilles@hotmail.com if you want my msn .

i am nefertuaten on irc

Why don't you guys try logging in through a proxy?

do you have any suggestions to some proxy servers?

when it first happened, i tried mudconnect, and some other one which seemed big at the time. Both did the same thing as if they were not proxy servers, but just using my windows telnet client to connect.

I don't currently have any shell accounts from which to logon with.

I've done a couple searches for proxy servers, but i lose patience quickly, and have not yet found what i'm looking for.

question, is the mud up or down? (12:30 est)
because when i use any of the proxy servers on that website, i either get:

a screen of html code saying that there was some internal error, or, i connect to dark legacy (connected to: Dark Legacy) and i get nothing.

if it's down, then ok, if it's up, then it looks like theres either something wrong with my brain, or i'm outta luck
