| Hmm. Well I tried reinstalling it and found out I skipped a few of the 'Skips' which allowed Cygwin to act normal again. I did a screenshot of my screen:
http://i49.tinypic.com/143oxh5.png
I don't think I unzipped the file correctly because Winzip already did that for me and when I tried to do it with Cygwin I got an error:
$ tar xzf mux-2.10.1.12.unix.tar.gz
tar (child): mux-2.10.1.12.unix.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I'm assuming I should probably unzip the file with Cygwin directly or does that not matter?

| Copy the .tar file manually into your "home" folder. Then use tar to decompress it.
One way of doing that is to use the Cygwin "bash" shell, and type:
(with a trailing space).
Then drag the file that you downloaded to after the "mv" and then type (space) (period).
eg.
mv C:\Downloads\mux-2.10.1.12.unix.tar.gz .
That will move the download into your directory. Then you can proceed to untar it. |

| That definitely seemed to do the trick! The ./configure gave me the output all up to:
configure: creating ./config.status
Currently it has been creating for two hours. Which my friend told me it took her much quicker to get through the last three parts of the output. Unless this is normal, should I close it and put the ./configure back in?

| Nevermind the last comment. I ended up restarting and doing the process again. Finished the Configuring file and up to ./StartMux. I'm not sure if entering that command was to make something in the /game part of the folder.
And I was told to try connecting to the server with my computer's IP and the default Port given (Since it didn't give me any, unless I use my computer's ports instead) and was unable to connect.
Would I need Port Forwarding enabled onto my router first before I am able to connect? I am trying to enable that too, but not sure what Service a MUX would be under (Like Telnet/FTP/HTTP/etc) | Top |

| What port? The default port is 2860. Your own computer is "localhost". You don't need to port forward from inside your own house.

| I get the typical error message when a MUSH is usually not turned on. This is directly after running ./StartMUX
Unable to connect to "MUSH", code = 10061 (Connection refused)
Error occurred during phase: Connecting to world: 127.0.0.1, port 2860
For assistance with connection problems see: | Top |

That runs the server. You need to do that first. |

| Yeah, I have that entered into Cygwin right now and is, I guess, running currently, and opened my MUSHclient second and attempted to connect with the localhost and default port. It's acting like it doesn't exist. | Top |

| Most probably I suppose. I'll have to mess with it later today then and see what I get with it.
But thanks for answering all of my compiling questions. :) Really helped out a lot.
