Are you only trying localhost? Have you tried other MUDs?

I've tried localhost, the 5 top muds on topmudsites.com or whatever it is and the MUD I'm trying to connect to. Safe to say it's not confined to this one.

And only MUSHclient does this? Telnet works? Have you tried something like Gmud?

Yes, only MUSHclient does this. I can acess it through normal telnet and the in-house Java client that is provided on the MUD's website. I haven't tried any other, 3rd party clients, but I can't do anything on them I can't do on telnet; the main reason I want to get MUSH back is for my extesnsive triggers/scripts so I can do stuff.

Hmm odd. Nick, does MC use a different connection protocol or way to connect?

Hmm. Try renaming mushclient.exe to something else? Maybe the firewall is not stopping when you quit... I really can't think of anything else.

Yeah, the only thing I can think of, is boot in safe mode (with networking) with nothing else running, and try it. Actually, do you have a router? Routers come with firewalls, or certain ones do.

MUSHclient does not use a different way to connect - to do so would only make headaches for me (like this one).

I know it sounds like a MUSHclient bug, if that is the only program it is happening to, but it can't be. You say yourself that version 3.50 used to work, and now it doesn't. The suggestion about other clients was not to use them as a long-term solution, but to see if the problem is either:


  • Only telnet works, but everything else doesn't (eg. another client also doesn't work); or

  • Only MUSHclient doesn't work, but everything else does.


This would then show that the problem, which is almost certainly in the firewall configuration, is that MUSHclient is blocked, but everything else can get through, or telnet is allowed through, but everything else is blocked.

I think some programs like ZoneAlarm can actually block accesses to localhost too, basically they detect any network access.

I agree with the "safe mode" idea, that will hopefully let you in with the network but without the firewall.

Ok, I dug up my oooold copy of zMUD and it works on that. Safe mode is very problematic for me, it refuses to acknowledge the presence of my mouse, broadband connection or anything else. So, yeah. No drivers is proving very difficult, safe or not.

Check Zone alarm. If MC is in the list, check if its blocked (unblock it) if it isnt in the list, make a point to add it (and allow everything).

Norton asks me twice about MC. Once about listening to connections (when I start it) and then again about connecting to a DNS, or a world or whatever (when I connect).
So it needs (maybe not needs, but at least Im asked) to be able to both send, and listen to connections.

Dont know how crippled it would be if it isnt allowed to listen. Nick could answer that.

Point being, check zone alarm, your router, anything else.

I just tested 3.56 on Windows 98, at it works fine. However on that PC I had ZoneAlarm installed, and it asked me three times if it could let MUSHclient through:


  • One for "acting as a server" because one world had chat listening enabled

  • One for "connecting to localhost" - for DNS lookups

  • One for "connecting to the internet" - for connecting to an external MUD


If I denied those I got "network is down" I think, however it seems to me that your problem must be with your firewall, although conceivably it is the Winsock DLLs. If you had previously (somehow) denied MUSHclient access and told the firewall to remember that denial, then you probably won't get through until you un-deny it.

What you could try is, rename mushclient.exe as something else, eg. mushclient2.exe, and try that. The different name might get through the firewall. However if it remembering the file location that might not work.

In that case, download version 3.56, which is a different file, and after installing, but before running it, rename that to mushclient2.exe. Then try that.

Finally, see if you can upgrade your Winsock DLL. Have you changed it recently (eg. installed a service patch, changed your Winsock DLLs)?

ok, i have something like this happening to me but i think that my case is a little different. I installed Mushclient on my PC at school running windows XP and it worked just fine useing quick connect. Then i go home i have Version 3.65 installed so i try to run it and i get the same error message at anonymous. Now i did just as he did and purged it, downloaded it and then instaled it again. But there is something that i nitoced, just behind the error message is a thing that thanks me for evaluating version 3.50. That kinda confused me, why am i evaluation version 3.50 of I downloaded version 3.65?

nope, it only says that mushclient 3.65 is installed, granted it is an unregistered copy, would that have anything to do with why it wouldnt work?

Wouldn't work as in connecting? No. Mushclient is fully functional (save the spell check limit) as a trial.

It might be an old message that nick didn't catch when upgrading, but that seems unlikely.

Try connecting to the server via telnet, it might very well be that the server is down at the moment.
