| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Imrik | That's the desperation option :) |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Zythrak | phone hotspot? |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Imrik | Zyth, sadly no. |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Mishanthrope | so i'd look at firewall/cable modem/router check software/antivirus/windows firewall rules (although windows firewall rules are yes/no so I don't think you'd hit the MOTD). |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Zythrak | able to try a different network? |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Imrik | Guess I'll be rebuilding my linux drive... |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Alyce | then forcing companies to only yse their services via agreements |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Alyce | microsoft back then, like now, was jus stealing ideas from ppl |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Imrik | Well, explicitly allowing Zmud through the firewall didn't work. |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Alyce | seems one came after the other |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | An immortal | whole discussion is making me want to rewatch IT crowd |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Mishanthrope | it's the cupholder too flimsy though, spilled my big gulp all over |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Alyce | no idea if windows owes something to dos |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Imrik | Alright...brb. |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Imrik | CD drive? I thought that was for making grilled cheese! |
| 2025-01-05 16:52 | Mishanthrope | im not sure how to even respond to that as a network engineer :p |
| 2025-01-05 16:52 | Alyce | windows |
| 2025-01-05 16:52 | Zythrak | have you tried putting beans in the CD drive? |
| 2025-01-05 16:52 | Alyce | widnows |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Sylas | dos based network? |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Dumbledore | i had to turn off safe mode to run my client |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Alyce | a *nix based network should be much better than a dos-based network |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Zythrak | nod mish |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Mishanthrope | it's letting it through for a bit, then stopping it |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Dumbledore | also, if windows 11 has safe mode turned on, he won't be able to run a client |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Mishanthrope | guarantee it's a network issue due to protocol |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Imrik | That's the next option...Have to reload my linux bootdrive tho... |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Mishanthrope | he said he isn't getting 2 way communication, which could be getting blocked by "AI style" anti-virus/malware that can be in firewall, routers, or on your computer yourself.. algorithm can decide it's unexpected traffic. |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Zythrak | on your home network? |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Alyce | *linux |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Alyce | os x or some flavor of linus.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:49 | Imrik | Hrm...Windows' telnet client chokes too... |
| 2025-01-05 16:49 | Dumbledore | if your windows 11 still has safe mode turned on, you probably wont be able to run a client |
| 2025-01-05 16:48 | Imrik | brb |
| 2025-01-05 16:48 | Mishanthrope | protons a good free one |
| 2025-01-05 16:48 | Mishanthrope | get on a vpn and try maybe? |
| 2025-01-05 16:48 | Mishanthrope | there are also content filters that will block it for some odd reason |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Someone | if they got to motd they are making a telnet connection already |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Mishanthrope | your https vs telnet |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Mishanthrope | could be your firewall/router since it's different networking protocols |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Nefas | you got virus? |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Dumbledore | did you turn off safe mode? |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Imrik | No worries :) |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Imrik | Got past the MOTD in Zmud and it choked. |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Mishanthrope | oh i probably said a bunch of things while you were off line. |
| 2025-01-05 16:46 | Imrik | Well, that didn't work. |
| 2025-01-05 16:46 | Mishanthrope | he said he tried mudlet |
| 2025-01-05 16:46 | Someone | time for mudlet! |
| 2025-01-05 16:45 | Mishanthrope | so it could be your router/firewall |
| 2025-01-05 16:45 | Mishanthrope | from a network perspective you are using a telnet protocol vs https: on the website.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:44 | Mishanthrope | if it's been more than 30 minutes since your last reboot and a bunch of software is acting up... reboot. |
| 2025-01-05 16:44 | Imrik | I'll give that check...It's only mud clients that appear affected tho... |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Zythrak | well, sometimes when you've got something going wonky, a quick reboot and closing down a buncha stuff can help |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Mishanthrope | run updates + reboot.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Reyhan | Rebooting is a valid fix :p |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Imrik | I think I'm due for a reboot, but that shouldn't be much of an issue... |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Dumbledore | did you turn off safe mode? |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Mishanthrope | create a new profile on mudlet? |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Reyhan | ^ |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Imrik | Windows 11, if that matters.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Arry | sounds like a weird computer issue. assuming you've turned it off and back on again, ya? |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Imrik | Mudlet choked too |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Arry | mudlet? |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Reyhan | Ack not even gmud? that thing is barely a step up from telnet |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Imrik | Seems to work fine... |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Dumbledore | try AL Client |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Arry | and it works fine? |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Imrik | I'm using the built-in thing on outland.org now. |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Imrik | I've tried zmud, gmud, tintin... |
| 2025-01-05 16:42 | Arry | all characters? what about mudslinger.net or the built-in thing on outland.org? |
| 2025-01-05 16:41 | Imrik | Yeah, raw install, can't send commands to the mud and receive nothing back. |
| 2025-01-05 16:41 | Arry | and naked/blank client with no triggers/scripts? |
| 2025-01-05 16:41 | Arry | chokes in what way |
| 2025-01-05 16:37 | Arry | grin |
| 2025-01-05 16:37 | Dumbledore | how much for them? |
| 2025-01-05 16:37 | Arry | what's the bounty on the wrists? :p |
| 2025-01-05 16:36 | Nefas | those crowns are a pain to enchant |
| 2025-01-05 16:35 | Dumbledore | iso b12 -3 crown of dying fire and 2x b12 -3 orosca's wrist guard |
| 2025-01-05 15:41 | Nefas | garg is awesome |
| 2025-01-05 15:28 | Gallahad | comf meliora |
| 2025-01-05 15:24 | Alyce | instructions on wiki |
| 2025-01-05 15:14 | Dwarft | iso uncursed 2/4 ofcol signet rings |
| 2025-01-05 14:26 | Dumbledore | ty tyberos |
| 2025-01-05 14:25 | Pelican | thanks :) |
| 2025-01-05 14:05 | Grimlord | uh oh cen smut |
| 2025-01-05 14:04 | Ouroboros | we prob wouldnt have cen if it wasnt for him |
| 2025-01-05 14:02 | Ouroboros | lol, from the wiki - Gwenny has to prove her courage to become leader of Goblin Mountain. Her task is to steal an egg from the Roc's nest. The two storylines are brought together when Mela has to help save Gwenny from a Roc and a hard place. |
| 2025-01-05 14:02 | Grimlord | I still have my signed copy of the color of her panties |
| 2025-01-05 14:02 | Ouroboros | in 1992 he published Both "The Color of Her Panties" and "Demons Don't Dream", both classics |
| 2025-01-05 14:00 | Dumbledore | did he do it forward AND backward? |
| 2025-01-05 14:00 | Ouroboros | why not right |
| 2025-01-05 13:59 | Ouroboros | he published a book with title starting every letter from A to Z |
| 2025-01-05 13:59 | Ouroboros | for sure |
| 2025-01-05 13:59 | Ouroboros | lol |
| 2025-01-05 13:59 | Vahva | given how much he's written i'd guess chatgpt is based more on him |
| 2025-01-05 13:59 | Eglarion | a chatgpt machine? |
| 2025-01-05 13:58 | Ouroboros | he's 90 and still publishing, that guy is a machine |
| 2025-01-05 13:57 | Ouroboros | not unless they were named after a character in a piers anthony novel |
| 2025-01-05 13:56 | Eglarion | not low budget supermarket ready meals? |
| 2025-01-05 13:56 | Ouroboros | something from a piers anthony novel |
