| Same thing happened to me.
Maybe the MUD is down right now, or you have miscopied the address or port number. |

| I tried connecting using MudConnector (www.mudconnector.com) and got this message:
MUD Connector: Connection Checker 2.0
(starting up: Thu Oct 18 2:49:08 2001 )
Attempting Connection to 'tangent.dune.net 7654'... Failed
The Connection checker was not able to connect to 'tangent.dune.net 7654'. This could be caused by several factors:
The machine 'tangent.dune.net' is possibly down, or linkless at the moment
The mud server has crashed and has not rebooted (yet).
The network is unreachable
In case the server is just temporarily down you might try waiting 5 or 10 minutes and then checking the connection again

| Because the MUD went down. That is why nothing works now. Wait a day and try again. Or do you mean it *still* works on the other computer?
The other possibility is that existing connections work but it is refusing new connections. Try disconnecting on the other computer and reconnecting. |

| | To get any further info beyond the disconnect mesage you'd need to contact the IMP and/or host of the MUD in question. You could try ping/tracert to confirm the host computer is actually on the internet. If you cant get a response from the host with those, odds are theres a hardware/software issue of somekind (Im including electrical failure as a hardware issue :P) that will need to be dealt with by someone with admin access to the box the MUD is on. |

| Isollae, ET is down right now.
Connection Refused, usually means mud is down,
if it times out, The muds lagging
and if It cant find a Route to Host, or something along those lines, The server is down.
Just so you know ;) |

| Yes. Two command you should really know:
ping {IP address or name} - to see if the server is responding at all.
tracert {IP address or name} - Find the path to the server.
If the path is broken due to network problems then it will show a lot of lines like '* * * Timed out' and eventually will say 'No route to host'.
You run these commands from a DOS window or you can download something like SamSpade that supplies the same features, but in a windows applicate.
SamSpade can also sometimes be useful if the network problem is caused by the server that converts the registered server name to an IP number. While this is useless for sites or pages that use non-fixed IP addresses or redirect you to a page the way sites like KeenSpace does for its comics, most places use a fixed number to ID the site and programs will connect to that number, even if the name comes back as invalid. I had an issue of this sort a while back where the muds name refused to return an IP number for several days, but I got on by doing a search on SamSpade for the real IP and using the numbers instead.
No one should be playing with telnet or other low level communications and not know about these basic tools imho. ;)
Most of the time a problem is due to network based issues. On those few cases where the problem was not with the network, it was usually due to the instability that Winsock (which handles all internet connection stuff) often has and a simple reboot fixes it. Except for like tonight where the connection broke and my ISP's password server apparently rebooted and wouldn't let me back on for about 20 minutes. Sigh.. And I 'almost' had that blasted download finished... | | Top |
